MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

evanscje

Can you direct me to a place that explains how to use the new Trade Bar in version 7. I need to use it but need to enter the right settings so trades go to (in my case) TT. I have highlighted TT as my "broker" but i still can't enter trades.

I seem to have countless examples recently of simply copying code from TS over to the Powerlanguage Editor - it compiles, I insert the signal in a chart (that uses TS data) and ... it gets different signals!! Surely I am not alone in having this happen. Are there certain commands or indicator calcul...

evanscje

except it's not working .. I added a second data stream = 1 minute. The historical time for an indicator that is = time data2 is always equal to the last time of the the day so all back-testing fails and no historical trades are shown

evanscje

Great idea

evanscje

I thought that wouldn't be necessary since I was using a 5 minute chart but I can see (now) why it's needed. In a similar vein - If I have a daily chart and have switched on iog and use an identical order I am getting fills at the opening tick .. is that because (in those cases) it's using the open ...

evanscje

I need to say - if the open >high of yesterday then sell at the open - 10 ticks stop
Data1 = S&P 500 5 minute bars
Data2=S&P 500 daily bars

I wrote:
If opend(0)>highd(1) then sell 1 contract next bar at opend(0)-2 stop;

This does not work. I don't know why.

evanscje

If i switch on enable intraday orders and then write this:[/b] If Rsi(close,2)<30 then buy 1 contract next bar at opend(0) + .25*Avgtruerange(20) stop; If RSI(close,2)>70 then sell all contracts next bar at opend(0)-.25*Avgtruerange(20) stop; Why is that not the same as switching off enable intraday...

I need to set up a chart in the most efficient way possible to execute an order like this: If open>high[1] {a gap up} and RSI(close,5)>50 then sell 1 contract next bar at open-.25*Avgtruerange(10) stop Do I set up a 2 instrument chart with a 1 minute bar time frame as data1 and a daily as data2 and ...

I got help from Moscow .. all I need to do is apply a multiplier in the description field in Quotemanager

evanscje

The data comes from TS. If I write buy at close*100+25 stop the system will never show a fill (since the chart doesn't show the price ever hitting that level)

evanscje

I have a case where - when I switch on a chart to automated- an order is apparently sent and filled but it's not one that appears in the chart. It says "my stop order was filled" what order?! There may in fact be a stop way above the market but why is it getting filled. It seems that TT uses prices ...

evanscje

so to be clear - will this work?
.. D1= daily data and D2 = 1 minute data
If close >Average(close,10) then Buy 1 contract next bar at opend(0) of data2+
.5*Avgtruerange(20) stop;

evanscje

I want to use open next bar +- to enter and exit the market. That means I need to convert a normal daily bar chart and .... Is the easiest way to just stick with a daily chart and add a new data series = the 1 minute chart and substitute "open next bar" with opend(0) of data2 ??

Will that work?

evanscje

Thx for that .. I did eventually call Russia and they gave me this tip ... works fine

evanscje

Has anyone tried passing data from TS to MC using ADE

evanscje

What if the primary data is a live feed and the second data set is NOT live (overnight data from a 3rd party) ..??

evanscje

.. so why does it work on version 6.0?

evanscje

You eliminated Open next bar orders while referencing multiple data streams! How could you? - I have been condemned to forever live in the 6.0 world.

I am running TS 8.6 and MC 6.01 .. I am moving everything over to a new Windows 7 machine and I now get that same Orcal error. Am I dead?

I found a help section about the topic and realize i need some info from TT. To do the symbol mapping i need to set up the links in the chart by choosing the automation tab .. the default is Interactive Brokers. What do i change in Quote Manager so that TT is the default gateway?

evanscje

I need to connect my MC to TT...

To send orders to TT what do i need to do?

How do I translate or map an order for a symbol that comes from an MC chart that gets its data from TS to the TT symbol name?

Here's what I have so far: variables: int ArrayIndex( 0 ) ; arrays: Double NetProfitArray[10000]( 0 ), Int TradesArray[10000]( 0 ), Int DateArray[10000]( 0 ) ; // If the prior bar date is not equal to the current bar date then this is a new day. // Capture the date, netprofit, associated with the fi...

OK .. the bottom chart is the @E7 electronic session for the E7 contract from TS (no problem) .. the top chart is the same data (daily) but shown for a session = the CME F/X open outcry period. The bar for 9/13 has evaporated. If you look back a little you'll see that 9/3 is also missing.. this is a...

evanscje

I understand all that you have written, and tried it .. my problem is that when I choose a different session other than the default then either today's bar or yesterday's bar disappears .. I'll go back to the chat room again to see if they can figure it out.
Thx for your reply

evanscje

I did a chat with Anastassia .. still haven't found the answer .. the issue is fixed if you change the default settings in the Quote manager but then you have a problem if you want to plot 2 charts, one for (say) ten year notes using the electronic session and one for the same contract in the London...

I have a chart that uses (e.g.) the symbol @US (the TS symbol) which loads perfectly and the data is current. I would like to change the session to (e.g.) the London time frame as defined in your "London" choice. When I do, the chart changes so that either today's bar is no longer there or yesterday...

Andrew, I too have the indicators for TS but need them to work in MC .. if you have any solution for this then I would love to hear it

I have various symbols from TS that are set up in QuoteManager and work fine for the electronic session. I want to load (say) the London trading period or session only so i go to Settings/Sessions and choose London and magically today's bar disappears (the old bars look OK) ??

Let's say I had to start connecting MC 6 to another company's platform so my trades were executed through their order system and (I assume) their broker of choice (whoever that is)..
