MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Dear Multi Chart Support, Henry.

Could I get constructive response on my issue, Please?

Thanks,
Victor

sylfvdk

Thanks, Henry. But this is not my case. I don't even use Visual Studio and only using .NET Power Language .NET editor. Once more, Henry. I have been using MC with .NET power language for at least 10 years and this issue was always here. Working ONLY with power language editor, from time to time Fold...

Hi, Dear Support. From time to time my PowerLanguage .NET Editor is losing custom settings. Particular: -- It loses my custom Folders, moving all studies to its original default folders -- It loses my custom References; This bug was at least for 10 years from now and I am supprosed it is not fixed. ...

When Release 10 is expected?

sylfvdk

Hi, Kristina. Thanks for reply. Very well explained, I am sure those fixes would work. However, still have minor questions: - Why CalcBar() call is not included in base OnBrokerPositionChange() and OnBrokerStategyOrderFilled() functions on the first place and left for custom code to extend that; -Is...

sylfvdk

Hi, I have simple Signal where I have 2 lines of code on CalcBar(): - Unconditional GENERATESTOPLOSS, - and Buy at Market after 11. That's it. In IB, I see orders: - Bought at 11, which is OK, Right after that I see: - STP Order with correct share amount, which I expect as well. BUT AFTER THAT I HAV...

Hi, MC Support. I created my own static function slightly modified your prebuilt function RateOfChange. It compiles, works fine, but I cannot get rid of red circle in PowerLanguage .NET Editor. Basically after further testing, I figured it out that we just cannot have static class VERIFIED in Editor...

sylfvdk

Thanks for supporting my point, poster mips4pips. Henry, I would like to make additional strength to this point. In my opinion, being your life time customer, I would expect all of the following: 1. Immediate acknowledgement of the management to accept this issue as 'critical' (at least); 2. Immedia...

sylfvdk

Hi, Henry. 1. Thanks for confirming this with the development team. 2. To summarize on where we are: Indicator should have syntax 'StrategyInfo' anywhere in it's code (could be even within comments) to properly initialize StrategyInfo Object that could be accessible within Function that Indicator ca...

sylfvdk

Henry, this is not compilation issue. This is a bug. I tried to put comments like below without 'o' at the end - it doesn't work //StrategyInf It works correctly ONLY if anywhere in Indicator code (including comments) we have met StrategyInfo syntax. Henry - I almost spend a week with this problem, ...

sylfvdk

Analyzing further issue with StrategyInfo, I figured out very dangerous thing. It seems that code behavior depends on Comments we have in the code. Looks like lazy initialization depends on keyword in the Text of the Indicator. I really would like to ask MultiChart Support carefully look at my examp...

sylfvdk

Yes, I need to read those values in the code to determine potential quantity that strategy will get in.

sylfvdk

Hi,
Is there any way that I can get in my Strategies the following info programmatically:
-- Cash per Trade
-- Fixed Shares / Contracts

sylfvdk

It seems that Brokers do not provide order execution at certain time of a day, so MC cannot implement this on Broker site. I got my answer, Thanks.

sylfvdk

Thanks, Henry, that explains the things ...

sylfvdk

I have another issue with EOD Exit Signal. 1. As far as I feel, EOD Exit Signal is the Signal to protect me (the same thing as Stop Loss) 2. If said above is thru, that means this Signal should be sent to Broker right after my trade is filled (like stop loss works with GenerateStopLoss function). Fo...

sylfvdk

Yes, I agree with you. The only thing we can is just to create new folders only(!) under Power Language Editor which still keeps everything within single folder on the disk.
We should never mess with namespaces, will not work.

sylfvdk

Hi, 1. I want to put all my Function/Indicator/Signals into my own Folder under Study folder in .Net Power Editor. Works fine. Study -> Functions ... MC functions Study -> Indicators ... MC Indicators Study -> Signals ... MC Signals Study -> MyFolder -> Functions ... My Functions Study -> MyFolder -...

sylfvdk

Hi, Henry.

I still cannot get StrategyInfo when calling you function from Indicator (not Signal).
Still gets all 0s

sylfvdk

Hi, In CalcBar() function of my Session_Equity : FunctionSimple<System.Double> class I am trying to out put: Output.WriteLine("In CalcBar: {0}", StrategyInfo.OpenEquity); Returning 0 for all StrategyInfo data when called from a function. Question: is that true that we cannot get anything from Strate...

sylfvdk

Hi, If I am not mistaking, in EL we used to have such functions as StopLossDaily which sets losses we will to accept during trading day. Is anything like that in .NET version? I couldn't fine it so far!?

sylfvdk

Hi, 1. Is that possible to disable generating of all orders coming from enabled signals programmatically (let's say from another Signal 'my Signal'). Is there any internal variable that we can set to stop trading for a while? 2. If I want all enabled Signals work from 11 AM to 3:59 (for US Stocks) -...

sylfvdk

Andrew, I understand the reason why you cannot initialize MarketPosition automatically. But the fact, you don't let User to assign it manually for SYNCH mode (like you do for ASYNC mode) just MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE SYNCH mode. You did such a wonderful job to syncronize strategy arrows, positions...

sylfvdk

MarketPosition and MarketPosition_at_Broker are completely two different things. MarketPosition is 1 for long, 0-for flat and -1 for short, while MarketPosition_at_Broker is number of shares/contracts at broker. MarketPosition_at_Broker is initialized correctly, but MarketPosition is not. That gives...

sylfvdk

Ver 5.5 Beta 5 When switching to autotrading in Synch mode, MarketPosition is always set to 0 regardless on real current position at broker - long or short. MarketPosition_at_Broker is initialized with real position at Broker which is fine. Please, accept problem with MarketPosition as a bug, or exp...

sylfvdk

Please, can someone from support answer this questions. Thanks

sylfvdk

Thanks a lot. That explains everything.

IntrabarOrderGeneration = TRUE Buy "MyStrategy" next bar at High - Value limit; In real time: If High is changed on every tick, new order is issued on every tick to correct limit price (old order gets canceled), Question: -- Does the High in the signal abolve means High of the NEXT bar (bar being pr...

sylfvdk

Hi, Will new Golden release have fixed issuer with unfilled limit orders to be converted to Market orders? Now, Partially filled orders (ASYNCH) are considered as filled and Market orders are not issued for the remaining amount after timeout. Will that be fixed in Golder Release?

Hi, I have ASCII file for may symbol and I am having updates every day. I have to append my ASCII file every day with new daily onfo and REIMPORT whole new file into QM. Is there easy way to enter just new incremental file into my symbol in QM? Or, Is that possible - to have several ASCII files comb...

It looks like in previous versions we had check box - Enable Autotrading. In 5 beta 2 - not.

How can I disable autotrading except setting confirmation check box to true?
Probably, I am missing something...

Thanks

I just want to add that not only RSI gives an error : 'STD exception: invalid argument' when used with not data it based on. Also DMI, ADX and I believe others have the same bug. It worked on version 3. And Since Version 4 - getting this error. Please, release patch for that ASAP. Need it in beta 2 ...

Dear MC Support.

I have two computers, for using with MC. One is connected to the Internet, and the second is not. Can I somehow copy registration to my second machine, which is not connected to the Internet?

Thanks

As far as Stock split adjustments. OK, yes, I understand, that not all providers provide split date and ratio info. But, Let us do it. We always can find for stock we are interesting all the splits and it would be nice if give us interface to adjust prices for splits and divedends manually. We would...

sylfvdk

Danilo, Thanks for supporting me. YES, having option to use simulated 'Market' limit and stop orders at least will not force us to retest all the EL code we wrote. More over, in some cases, I would prefer to use this Simulated Market Stop/Limit orders, because we know they will go through and will b...

sylfvdk

Hi, Andrew, Thanks for answering. Several more question on Limit/Stop oders. 1. Will MC know that Limit/Stop order is filled and what will MarketPosition reflect real order status? 2. Will MC know at What price order was filled? 3. If Order was filled partially at different proces, will MC know the ...

sylfvdk

Hi, Andrew. Thanks for the post. I want to say a few things. 1. You MUST warn all MC users, that with new version - almost ALL CUSTOM OLD SIGNALS WILL BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY. ALL SIGNALS MUST BE RETESTED with IB if used in Auto Trading. THAT IS A HUGE MINUS!!!!!!!!!!!! For example, I don't want MC to ex...

sylfvdk

Steven, this is exactly like MC works currently without supporting Limit and Stop orders. They wait until limit or stop price is reached and than fire Market Order. This is perfect for backtesting as well. But, currently or in Version 3, MC promissed to fire Limit or Stop order to the Broker. I just...

sylfvdk

Could, Please, anyone from MC support answer this question that was posted earlier!? Are you saying that order like: "Buy ( "ParLE" ) next bar at 10.00 stop ;" will immidiately place Stop order through Broker? 90 % of all Indicators are placing orders like that on each bars. So, Would we have orders...

So, Would we have orders placed to brokers on each bar? Who will cancel them? Or I am missing something? Than...

sylfvdk

Hi, we used to ask a lot previousely about Market and Limit orders. So question are still: 1. Will MC v3 have real price on the Chart with which order has been filled in IB when Market Order placed? 2. When Limit order is placed? 3. When orders partially executed? What will be in that case? Average?...

sylfvdk

To adjust to splits - one way is to write your own program to correct original ASCII feed file with split / dividend adjustments. Or use data from WireTick, paying $18 / stock*year. They will give option for split/dividend adjusted prices.

Thanks, hope it would help.
Victor

Hope, you are not that LUTZ from YAHOO forum for Jet Blue, are you?

Is new beta still going this week, delayed?

Thanks

PS. Just to plan my time, no rush

Dear MC Support.

Sorry for asking this question, but what happens if TSSupport is out if business?!

Does it mean that all existing clients, who paid life time licence, will not be able to use MC any more?

Thanks
Victor

sylfvdk

Hi, Deo.

OpenTick is not relyable data source, especially for real time. I use it only for hostorical data ( 1 minute bars), more over using thier comand line, not through MC interface. That works fine.

Thanks
Victor (Yes, that Victor)

sylfvdk

Wow, This is defenetely WRONG implementation. You are changing the strategy. If I want to sell @ $10.00 with limot order - you are selling ~ @ 10.10 on backtesting to adjust to slipage?! I would say, that is wrong. Please, find another way to make correction. For example, on Strategy Performance Rep...

Hi,

How to get your Life Support?

sylfvdk

Hi, When can I get live support: this Saturday? Sunday? next Monday?

sylfvdk

Hi, Just one more quesiton:

Did you open my workspace I sent you, loaded my ASCII file I sent beffore and Signals I sent.

If yes, did you get correct price when sell order was executed?

Thanks
Victor

sylfvdk

Hi, I am sending my workspace. End of Day Ext signal I use is standard MC signal containing one statement:

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = false]
SetExitOnClose ;

Thanks
Victor

sylfvdk

Hi,

When I can expect results of your tests?

Thanks
Victor

sylfvdk

Thanks, waiting for your reply.

sylfvdk

Hi, I am sending you ASCII file. Date on the chart from previous post is August, 15 2007

Thanks
Victor

sylfvdk

I was not trying to say you have to use Daily bar. Not at all. You can use intraday bars and if you want to have stop signal working on Daily open bar - you have to set this stop order on previous bar - last bar of previous session....

sylfvdk

Hi, I would suggest, that you can place your order on previous bar (probably last bat on the session)

Sell ("Your signal") at f(DailyOpen) STOP.

If you can figure out on the last bar of the Session you stop price, I see no problem to set stop signal.

Thanks
Victor
