Re: MULTICHARTS 9.0 RELEASE

Draw your 4 instruments in subcharts, to check if you have no difficulty in data. Check if Sessions and Exchange time are the same. Check if you have data on Feb.18 2015 and after, but also on the bar preceding this date, since I check on Date[1]. Uncomment the 2 'Print' to see at what stage it's lo...

For information, 2 years ago, I did several tests with a 4 CPU x 16 cores from HP. with same results: very low cpu usage. We had to perform the last test in an HP certified lab.

Hello Henry,
This discussion was productive, since MC plans to implement these useful features (get/set position size for exit orders ).
By the way I am also waiting for Version 9.1 and its new engine.
Approximatively when do your team plan to publish the first Beta?

So unfortunately we don't know why there might be such "gone by the wind" studies;
Anyway it's very seldom;
At least you tell us to avoid some behaviors.
