Hi FYI- I am having troubles cutting and pasting the image of a chart to the clipboard in the latest beta version. Saving as a file seems to have no problems. When an image is maximised it does not copy to the clipboard..... Using File - copy image to clipboard appears to copy something, but when tr...

While its easy to plot the prices of the ten year bond note from the CME - code ZN. I was wondering if there is an existing way to be able to view this as the equivalent yield chart, for the ten year futures. ie; as bond prices rise, the yield falls as they are the inverse of it. I wish to be able t...

Hello, I have had a search for this but cant seem to find anywhere it appears. (or possibly I am using the wrong search words). Does any body know of a way to view a bond chart as the yield or interest rate it represents as opposed to it normally being quoted as the price. eg; ten year bonds at 116....

Hi, from memory i had this problem - I just did a work around whereby I had numerous strategies for each contract. That way Strategy 1 would buy 1 contract at Y and sell at X, Strategy 2 would buy 1 contract at Y and sell at X2, etc; Since then I have not revisited it, but from memory I think one of...

Hi I downloaded MC6, and tried a simple test on it. ............ condition3 = high>high[2]; condition4= high>high[1]; if condition3 and condition4 then begin //buy this bar on close; buy next bar at open; end; ////////////// condition1 = low<low[2]; condition2= low<low[1]; if condition1 and conditio...

thanks, for the info .... In terms of intraday testing, I understand that it seems in order to be able to trade at any time other than the OHL or C, I would need to do intraday testing. (When I said I did not want to test intraday I just meant I did not want to test for price bar times of less than ...

TJ and Super - Thankyou - I tried that and it worked.....on certain contracts It did not make sense to try that as I would have thought it still is "this bar". But regardless it works using "next bar" and not "this bar" also..... When it comes to IOG - I did not fully understand that it needs the ac...

Hi TJ, (sorry I incorrectly assumed it was a simple question - end of a long day) the simple example code is to backtest an idea - not for live trading....... ...................... vars: atr(0); [IntrabarOrderGeneration=True]; if currentbar=1 then begin cleardebug; end; atr=AvgTrueRange(20); //////...

Hi, I have been racking my brain - and I think its something obvious that i am missing, but, am I correct in saying that sellshort CAN ONLY be used on the close of the current bar, or the during the next bar, but it CANNOT be used to trigger to sell intrabar. Eg; Say I have a trigger that I want to ...

Hi personally - I use it to test if i am being realistic in how I would view the market as if i was watching it live time. If I see something developing I would do a trade, record it with my ideas and then continue to walk forward. Slow and painful, but still quicker and cheaper than live markets. I...

your file is missing

possibly use a trend line alert whereby the trendline is drawn + and 0 0.75% above yesterdays close, and if the last crosses the line ALERT.
(i have no idea how to do it though)

While I don't look at ticks, and i am not a programmer, and hence have a little trouble following the thread.
Thankyou to those guys doing this. As an MC user, anything that can make it bug free, or more accurate is fantastic.

hi TJ, for some reason i must have set up a new thread, instead of replying. I was trying to reply to the tread that showed this... wullenweber helmut Nov 5th 2009 { Indicator : Equitycurve 04.11.2009} var: EQT(0), InitCapital(10000); EQT = InitCapital + I_CLOSEDEQUITY; Plot1(EQT,"Net Equity",black,...

Hi TJ. I came across this thread and it confused me a little, and i was wondering if you could help explain something. under the help for MC it says I_CLOSEDEQUITY; can only be used in studies. but if I try to plot something in a study i get the error message ------ Compiled with error(s): ------ Ke...

thats fantastic. This would mean that MC becomes even more flexible. As most other programs cannot talk to excel....apart from a few exports of OHLC If you could export say the scanner into excel, or even just do a cut and paste so that the columns values in the scanner can be dropped into an excel ...

Thanks TJ. I understand all this. We built a very detailed backtester with a lot of flexibility in excel. It tests 40 instruments over 15 years of data. The problem is it takes 45 mins to run a test, and a lot of maintenance of the data, hence i am trying to go to a system that packages the data, an...

I am not asking for them to program. I am asking them why certain things that are meant to work in a certain manner dont.... the signal is very simple. I would just like something that works. Supposedly you can name and exit specific entries. eg; buy 1, buy 2, buy 3, exit 2, then exit 3, then buy 2,...

Hi super, I appreciate the help (I need it when it comes to programming) But unfortunuately this just reversed the situation :cry: Now the exits all seems to occur on the low of the day. I was wondering if MC had an ability to measure/alert if the stop was triggered. ie; so when backtesting you had ...

thankyou.
Yes it does on the entry bar, it resets and allows it to trade on the open.

Now how do i get it to exit once the exit is triggered and not just on the close?

Hello, I am a little confused by the result kicked out here after i have downloaded the latest version 5.5 and was wondering about interbar order generation. The chart has more notes on it as an explanation. I have also attached the code as well. - why do the orders get executed at the high when the...

Ditto...it confused me as there are sometimes too many options. I now get into the habit of any signal/ indicator that I am working on when i make changes I unload and reload. It only takes a second or two, but it ensures that it will pick up all the changes I may have made, without having to think....

Found it....
it was a bug as it did not work, and the TS people seem to have fixed it in 5.5 Beta version...

Hi TJ, the values are sometimes the same, sometimes different. I noticed that something strange was going on initially when I plotted two different plots when both had the same values, and plotted two slightly different charts. Then i experimented a little. With two different values, say 20 and 25, ...

I am having problems with multiple entries and exits. The problem i get is that when I pyramid longs and each long has a different stop, they ALL exit when the first stop has been hit. I have tried numerous different solutions from the forums etc; but i am stuck. If i try something such as "X contra...

Not sure how to word this, but there is definately something going on... This is the simple code i was testing..... to get two different donchian channels. Problem is when adding the second plot, and compiling it does not replot correctly. {Donchian Channel} Inputs: Base(Close),Length(25); Variables...

For future reference.... I think it must have had something to do with maxbarsback setting. I went through and reset every chart as having the same maxbarsback settings, and then rechecked every text file that was written. Then it worked. So in summary for any one else who might encounter such an is...

thanks for the response... it probably is that, when its applied in a signal test it only starts printing when a signal is triggered, as opposed to an indicator that prints once the max bars back is reached. The script is pretty small, just a get long on 20 high day break, sell out when ATR trailing...

Hello, can anyone help or offer advice for a problem i have encountered? I wish to export data (OHLC) plus any trades that are executed during a signal test on a chart.....so i use.... print(File(FileName+getsymbolname +".txt"),datetojulian(date),",",open,",",high,",",low,",",close,",",AvgTrueRange(...

Hi, as a suggestion. Allow most things to be exported to excel for greater flexibility.... eg; the scanner window data. Portfolio performance reports - individual sections and not the whole thing. That way people can easily use the flexibility of excel to do things that they require that MC might no...

Just as a side note.... I had the same issue, and occasionally receive a message saying that i need to close the chart or power language editor down. I do so and then it all works.... I have no idea of the sequence of events that leads to this. But generally it allows me with no problems. I initiall...
