Hi: I am closing down my TS Account at the end of the month and I have downloaded all the historical data that I need in 1M formats for the instruments that I use. I have an active IB account so I can get the new data easily enough. The data in TS is for a continuous contract using there @ESH17 symb...

I have searched and don't think I have found a very good solution for this. We have a master portfolio that is trading real time at a different broker in a substantial account. Lets call that program our Pool. Now I have a new client that wants to trade a similar risk reward profile in his account o...

What is the status of 8.5 with CQG? As a CTA I need this capability to keep MC in the loop. WE need this to trade at other brokers and it is presently costing big bucks doing "give ups" to trade at other brokers.

Thanks

Thanks, I will try that. I was doing something similar but I think I was using too small of a time period.

I have been trading the emini's since 2004 and have a good idea on what the day times I should use. Although the closing times were changed recently, still the 8:30 to 3:15 continue to work well. I would like to add additional commodities to review and study but don't want to trade in "off hours". D...

I am in the process of setting up a new computer and have done this a number of times. This is the first time with Windows 8. I have MC 8.0 working with Windows 8 with no issues on the chart side and data side. I then imported a number of studies and indicators that I have been using in both TS and ...

OK, here is the idea. I have been using TS with MC for over two years and from time to time there are glitches that are not repeatable. Drives MC in Russia crazy. I have finally managed to get a robust set up and this is how it works. 1. Once a week (if you day trade maybe you want to do this more o...

Henry:

I have demonstrated this affect to your team a number of times. The next time it happens, who should I speak to when I go into the live chat?

Thanks

TO: For the past week, by not opening up TS, and not saving the historical data, I have not had any issues withing MC. I just don't open TS (the platform) if at all unless I need to check something. One thing that I found is that if you are still logged into TS from MC from a previous time period, y...

Solved the issue, but deleting all the data, and not opening TS prior to opening MC. Now the data loads perfectly after I get the sign on from TS. I have changed my trading platform to only keep data for 2012, so I won't need to keep historical data. Thanks for the help. I may have to do something w...

I use TS as my data provider and then use MC to automate my trades through Rithmic. Everytime I delete all the TS data in the cache and storage, and then delete all the cache data and other data in the Quote manager, when I re-make the chart, MC always misses some days. The problem is that I have to...

Hi guys, the CTA is at it again. I now use MC to trade multiple CTA accounts at Vision utilizing Rithmic. Now I have a new large client that is going to use FC Stone. FC Stone supports Patsystems, CQG, and Trading Technologies. Any issues in utilizing any of these systems to automate my trades? Any ...

I use the external grail package (no longer available) with MC, and after I updated to the 64 bit version of MC, I am having difficulty finding the dll called in the program. The error I am receiving is as follows: "Can't find dll "fileappenddll.dll" . I have tried to put it in all system directorie...

I have just started WF analysis in 8.0 and I have a couple of suggestions. 1. Allow an equity curve to be plotted for each OS of the report as you flip through the tests. 2. Highlight what the system thinks is the "best" value depending upon the fitness used. So if Net Profit is used, what run and s...

I have to expand my CTA with trading at RJ Obrien. Are their any issues using Multicharts interface to Pat Systems. I already do this with Rithmic, and use TS for my data. I am planning on doing the same again, but just wanted to make sure it was a similar installation.

Thanks

OK, with the demise of MF Global it has brought to the front burner the idea of having a backup plan to one's current methodology of trading. Right now I trade my CTA/CPO through TS, but am worried about its long term viability (see MF Global) since I have very little viability to their financial co...

I didn't and went directly with TS, but this brings up the point of having a back up to TS now. What brokers and what data services are easy to incorporate with MC to trade the E mini's and also some currencies (not Forex), metals, and oil. I desire to diversify my CTA/CPO business away from one bro...

thanks for the heads up but it is not my decision. I am a CTA and consequently, I have to figure out how to trade in an automated fashion at an account based where the client wants to base the trade. Consequently, I am trying to figure out a method of executing my trades from the MultiChart platform...

Hi, I am a CTA and responsible for auto trading with Multicharts with Trading Technologies trading platform. I run a number of accounts at TS so getting data is not the issue.

Thanks Stan, I will contact you directly via email.

Hi: Is there any tutorial that will allow me to develop an application to interface MultiCharts to a new broker. I am trying to figure out if I can interface with CX Capital Markets.

Does MC have a list of vetted consultants to do a small programming project?

Thanks for the clarification. By the way what furytrader wrote is what I am trying to accomplish. My issue is not with just one trade, but I use pyramiding in the algorithm. I guess I should start with one contract, get it working and then move onto subsequent trading. Just started out trying to do ...

Thanks, I am thinking data 1 and data 2 would be the same instrument and time frame in minutes. You can't use Global variables since they don't work with back testing so i am stuck with the data 1 and data 2. I will try it out and see how it goes. I assume I can use a variable that will be either a ...

OK, I need a suggestion from the programming "guru's". I want to incorporate positive dependency into my strategy. What I mean by this is to have another indicator or strategy running (I guess it could be in a separate chart but has to be back testable with optimization) so I was thinking run one on...

Thanks for your detail reply. This gives me a great start. I do have the Diamond system so I may use that also.

Thanks again. Very excellent response.

OK, I have two paid installations of MC and have used it in the past with the external Grail application. Don't get me started on 9.0, I am just too old to learn C# and if I wanted C# I would have moved to NT and not be stuck with any proprietary languages. OK, here are the questions: 1. Under Exter...

Ok, I have been fighting with this release for some time. I have a brand new machine, with a 6 core Intel along with 18 GB of Ram. It runs at 3.2 GHz.

OK, I have purchased ES historical data back from 2000 to the last date, which is 05/07/10. This is 1M data. Now I want to merge with IB data and use that data going forward.

I am a new user to MC but a long time TS user. I am using my TS for the data feed for both historical and real time data. I followed the tutorial for getting the @ES.D data from 7/1/04 to today on a 3 minute chart. that went fine, but it took a long time. No big deal. Now I then wanted to add anothe...
