MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Stanley Miller

I say we could TRADE IDEAS on the EXCHANGE. The exchange is run by TS Support. It comes natural since all of us are traders. It's fun, engaging, informative, visual.

atata, unfortunately we were not able to reproduce this on our end and your description is not enough to consider this as a bug. Please make at least a couple of screenshots next time you'll see this behavior.

Stanley Miller

Not at this moment. Please add this request into the Project Management

Stanley Miller

atata, this seems to be important issue. However we need a lot of details in order to reproduce the issue on our end. If possible please make a video of the issue (or set of screenshots) and post it here or send to support@multicharts.com.

Two suggestions: 1) Integrate the main menue in the main multicharts window title bar. 2) Remove the chart title bar from the charts inside the workspaces. Why do we need them?

Stanley Miller

It's possible to overlay two tick series but you can't connect them with a chronological line.

Stanley Miller

Stanley,

I am trying to put on a BID/ASK data series (1Tick Bar) a Moving Average with a Length of 1 Period.

Do you want to have the average of BID divided by ASK? Is this correct? Or average of (BID + ASK) / 2 or something else? Please be more exact in your explanations.

Stanley Miller

Please explain in further details what exactly would you like to plot.

Stanley Miller

Use average(close of data1/close of data2/close of data3, Length);

Stanley Miller

PlotPaintBars allow you to plot only bars, it's not possible to plot candles.

Stanley Miller

Anyway I was wondering if it's possible to place 2 bars upon each other in a histogram? Take a look at the screenshot to see what I mean, the screenshot is from TS i guess.

Yes, it's possible. Do you have any problems with this or need additional details?

Hi Kate,

I simply used Buy and Sell so that may be why I could not get marketposition to work correctly. I will try it and see.

Sell is exit long signal, it can't generate marketposition = -1

Stanley Miller

Hi, Listed below is a simple If loop that tries to determine if we are in a current position. If we are then it covers the position and flips the other way.

You need to create 2 different functions for otrendup and otrenddown. I.e.

function _otrendup:

if close>Average(price,length) then

strategy:

if Currentbar > 1 and _otrendup and MyRSI crosses over OverSold then buy 1 contract this bar close;

Please try to recompile the signals. It can help.

Stanley Miller

In this case it makes sense convert signals into the functions and use them in the strategy. It's quite simple.

Stanley Miller

Dear Larry,

I've just answered you via e-mail.

Stanley Miller

There are three ways to rename a study in the PLEditor: a) 1.In the menu select File then click Save As… 2. Set the desirable study name in the Name field. 3. Click OK. b) 1. Right-click anywhere in the study's window and select Properties…. 2. Select Properties tab. 3. Set the desirable study name ...

Stanley Miller

In this case please go to the format studies window, scaling tab and setup the same user-defined scale type for both indicators.

Stanley Miller

What do you mean by glitches and problems? Could you please be more specific?

Stanley Miller

I beleive you can add Plot1(0); to the code.

Stanley Miller

Thank you for the understanding. We chose such logic because this approach is much easier to implement and it doesn’t lead to a considerable complication of the execution logic and therefore doesn't have a number of potential problems and bugs. At the same time according to our tests IB executes mar...

Victor, The orders sent to the broker to be executed and orders that a strategy uses to calculate points of entry and exit are different. Everything written above concerns backtesting signals' operation logic. The limit and stop orders operate the way they should and the strategy determines points o...

I suggest gathering links to EasyLanguage scripts' collections in this thread. Such places are numerous on the Internet and if we gather them all in one place it will be easier to quickly find something useful and helpful.

You don't need to close MultiCharts, the indicator appears in the list when it is compiled. Please let me know which version of MultiCharts do you use and make sure that you are on the correct tab of the Insert Study window.

Stanley Miller

Please check the top of the page.

The code can't be compiled because it contains unsupported symbols. Moreover, Plot is misspelled. Here is the correct code: inputs: Length( 8 ); variables: Change( 0 ), MyRange( 0 ), Num( 0 ), Den( 0 ), RVI( 0 ), RVISig( 0 ) ; Change = Close - Open ; MyRange = High - Low ; Value1 = TriAverage_Gen( C...

Stanley Miller

Where did you find this code? It uses SetStopLoss reserved word incorrectly. Fist of all, this reserved word is used to specify the amount you are willing to lose per position or per contract/share. You are trying to specify the price level. Also, it should be used with SetStopContract or SetStopPos...

Stanley Miller

a) Personally I don't know such a function but it is quote easy to create it.

b) MultiCharts' PowerLanguage is fully compatible with TS EasyLanguage. So you can review original EasyLanguage tutorials to learn more about basic conceptions and syntax options:

You can use RGB function for any custom color. For example RGB(255,0,0) returns red.

Stanley Miller

Again, please post the screenshot of the report inself, not Excel.

Stanley Miller

Could you please post the screenshot of the report itself as well as screenshot of the chart so I can see the price scale.

Stanley Miller

a) the standard normal distribution function?
NormalDensity

b) the current time
CurrentTime

c) the day market close time
SessionEndTime

d) the slope of a trend line
I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain.

e) the standard deviation of a price series
StdDev

Stanley Miller

Could you please post the screenshot with strategy and list of trades so we can check and reproduce the problem?

Stanley Miller

Dear Michael, The logic of automatic order execution in MultiCharts is of such a kind that market orders are sent at the moment when a trade takes place (i.e. when an arrow appears on the chart). MultiCharts doesn’t send limit or stop orders but waits till they are executed and at that moment it sen...

Stanley Miller

Do you still have this problem? Could you please confirm?

Stanley Miller

You can create a custom indicator or just apply Moving Average Exponential indicator and enter RSI(close,14) as a price input (instead of close). Then you can drop both indicators on the same subchart in necessary.

Stanley Miller

Set the indicator to update on every tick and not at the close of the bar.

Stanley Miller

Set the indicator to update on every tick and not at the close of the bar.

Stanley Miller

Here is the code:

Code: Select all


if close > open then

	Plot1( Volume, "Volume", black )

else

	Plot1( Volume, "Volume", red );

Stanley Miller

Could you please post or send us the code? Thanks.

Stanley Miller

What bugs do you mean? Please be more specific.

Stanley Miller

If I understand your description correctly, it should be very easy to create such a study in EasyLanguage. Do you want just to have a horizontal line on the level of last price?

Stanley Miller

Could you please show us the code?

Stanley Miller

TWSService is a process of MultiCharts which is running along with the other processes independently on TWS.

Stanley Miller

Mult doesnt seem able to support this simple study so i will go back to esignal for now which has it standard.

Please post the screenshot of what you have. Can you do it?

hi all, I am not one to gripe... But the moment I opened multicharts today it told me of an upgrade... So yes I had a look, and then checked the price.. And yes what was suspected it correct... The cost has doubled.. Why??? I haven't purchased this yet as it has been a project that has so many bugs...

Absolutely agree with you on the "look-inside-bar" back-testing.

Stanley Miller

TS has a painbar setup so that one can color bars above a moving average one color and color price bars below a moving average a different color. i cannot find any way in multicharts to do this although i would think it should be simple. is any code available for this type of indicator? thanks wayn...

Stanley Miller

You can add the following condition:

Code: Select all


if getUserID = myID then begin

 {your code here}

end

else 

    Abort();

where myID is the unique ID of your computer which you'll find in the menu Help > About MultiCharts.

Stanley Miller

We haven't added this functionality yet but are going to do it in the future.

Stanley Miller

The first indicator works well on my side and the second one plots nothing but I can't check the reason because it uses password protected functions.

Stanley Miller

aiHighestDispValue and aiLowestDispValue parameters of GetAppInfo are not supported yet.

Stanley Miller

By default the only way to obtain price information is to request bars by their numbers. E.g. high[5] will return the High value which was 5 bars back from the current bar. Apparently EL Collection has some functions allowing to request prices by time but I'm not 100% sure.

Stanley Miller

Victor, you can find the complete information regarding the EL Collections here:
https://www.TS.com/Discussion ... c_ID=33397

I'm also attaching the documentation.

Stanley Miller

Unfortunately SetPercentTrailing function is not supported yet, we'll add this in the future.

Stanley Miller

I can't make it work in TS as well. Could you please post the screenshot of this indicator in TS?

Stanley Miller

You can't use v as an array name because this is a reserved word which means volume. Please rename it.

Stanley Miller

It should be something like this:

Code: Select all


if close crosses above (lowest(close,7)[1] + AvgTrueRange(7)[-1] * 3) and ADX(14) > 25 then

	buy this bar at close;

	

if close crosses below (highest(close,7)[1] - AvgTrueRange(7)[-1] * 3) and ADX(14) > 25 then

	sell short this bar at close;

Stanley Miller

Yes, you can save it as .xls

The first column is the name of the eSignal symbol. The others - are the information about IB symbol. I'm not sure what exactly is not clear for you. Could you please be more specific?

Stanley Miller

I'm not sure how it should look like but the first study plots two horisontal lines i.e. it seems to be working.

Stanley Miller

You are doing almost the same highest(high,length) lowest(low,length) fuctions do. Try to use them.

You can uninstall the previous version or select "Repair" option, it doesn't matter and both should work without problems.

Would you like to plot that trend line and text manually (i.e. using drawing tools) or from the script?
