MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

FIXED. Thanks again Henry and noodlesong.

I want to turn my av back on as soon as possible. Which MC process should I exclude from the MSSE realtime monitoring? Perhaps start with tsServer?

horton

Disabling Microsoft Security Essentials (the only anti-virus I have) did the trick for me. Which processes should I exclude to prevent this from happening again?

I'll give that a try. Gracias.

So something is going off the rails between the Advise event and the Request event in the MC code that interfaces with the eSignal DM minute server, but I don't know which side is causing the problem.

horton

I have an old version 6 beta for MC on an old workstation running against the old eSignal DM. This one is running ok. Here's what the QM event log shows for successful minute server requests: [02/19/2014 13:54:35] Advise Transaction 700 Minute 6E #F 19.02.14 17:08:00 - 19.02.14 19:00:00 [02/19/2014 ...

horton

I had eSignal reset my entitlements but I'm still down. The real hangup appears to be the interface with the minute server. Here's the last several events in the QM log, showing that minute requests are not resolving: [02/19/2014 13:35:17] Advise Transaction 1441 Day 6E #F 19.02.14 06:00:00 - 20.02....

Has there been a change in the way Multicharts handles symbol limits for data providers?

horton

I started up my MC 32 bit for the first time in a few months and observed the same issues. So now I am thinking this is an Esignal Data Manager issue.

horton

As of this morning my Esignal interface no longer works with Multicharts. I updated MC and Esignal to the latest releases without a resolution. My Esignal charting app and my Qlink excel client are working so the issue is isolated to the MC interface to Esignal. Anyone else having trouble with MC/Es...

I'm running MC 32 bit with Esignal 10 32 bit on a 64 bit machine. As I recall, Esignal did not support third party access to the Esignal 11 64 bit data feed a couple of years ago when Esignal 11 was new. Has that changed? Can I run MC 64 bit against the Esignal 11 64 bit data feed now?

horton

Resolved. I had a LastBarOnChart condition in the indicator code for the scanner that was not in the indicator code for the chart. When I removed that condition the values matched. Sorry for the false alarm.

horton

I should mention that the "Last" field values in the scanner DO match the "Last" field values presented on the chart on a real time basis. So I seem to be dialed into the same data series on both sides.

horton

I'm setting up a scanning workspace that uses alerts. I'm having trouble getting the related indicator value produced in the scanner to match the value produced by an indicator with the same calculation in the chart. The resolution and session values for both charts are identical. The symbol is regi...

I upgraded my version of TWS about a week ago but I have used the paper account since then with no problems. I have been experimenting with the issue today. I found that the delay is much shorter when I use order confirmation in the MC DOM. Of course the confirmation takes up some time as well but a...

horton

I've been testing the MC DOM with an IB non-advisor paper account for a few weeks with acceptable results. Today I fired up a live IB non-advisor account and observed significant delays in the DOM. The delay can be 1 or 2 seconds when I click on a level to enter a limit buy, limit sell, buy stop, or...

I would like to create an Excel spreadsheet that pulls real time prices, historical prices, and a few Indicator values from Multicharts 7 for a list of instruments. Does Multicharts publish an API that can be called from a Excel via DDE or RTD? Or does a third party vendor offer this capability for ...

An option was made specifically for IQFeed to have minute and daily bars made out of ticks - then it does work, from what I've been told. I believe the code DOES NOT work with regular minute and daily bars because it needs ticks. The option is a tickbox in QuoteManager > Tools > Data Sources > IQFe...

horton

I have submitted a request in the project management system for Multicharts to provide Esignal users with the same uptick downtick support now available for IQFeed. If you are an Esignal user and you want this functionality you should vote for my request or submit your own. My request is MC-361 - Hi...

horton

I submitted a ticket to IB.

horton

I am observing the same TWS behavior when connecting Esignal to TWS. So I believe there is merit to the notion that this is a TWS issue rather than a Multicharts issue. Specifically, Esignal appears to be polling for account balance information about once per minute. When it runs through each of the...

horton

I have the same issue. What is the plan for a fix?

horton

Here are some more of my observations. I’m using IB and TWS: 1) As noted before the P&L show in the DOM is incorrect, it looks like randomly generated numbers at times, for both price and tick values. 2) When I place an order in the DOM and then place another order to scale in and add-on to an exis...

I'm still having trouble with auto strategies in DT. Here's my typical use case: I enter 3 unit order with 3 exit levels. Then my first or second target is hit and I still have one runner on. I get a second entry setup and enter 2 units with 2 exit levels. Rather than entering this as a separate par...

This issue appears resolved in Beta 4.

horton

Also for the record the "cleanest" TWS/MC config for me has been 1. Master client id set to 1 in TWS and client id set to 1 in MC This gives MC priority for all API functions. 2. All precautions disabled for API in TWS This prevents IB from blocking an order from MC which can lead to strange behavio...

horton

Well I guess I can't let this one go yet. I am pretty enthusiastic about the potential to get away from IB Booktrader without going to X Trader or NT since I already run all of my charts on MC6. So I played around with it some more this morning after reviewing all of my config parameters between IB ...

horton

I'm shelving this topic too until MC 7 final is released. Maybe the issue is the paper trading account at IB. In any case there were multiple instances where working orders were merged and I could not unmerge them.

horton

Yes I tried that and more today. I think the issue has to do with the setup of the paper trading account as an advisor account. The PnL shown in the open order status window is for DF******A. But the DF account number does not have an A. However, I think this implies that IB is not distinguishing be...

horton

I have the Master Strategy configured to all in/scale out with 3 exit levels. If I establish a position using the MS and then choose to double the size using the MS again, all of the new exits are grouped with the most extreme exit from the first entry. And they can not be separated from that exit. ...

horton

I've been testing the new DOM with my IB FA Paper Trading account. The DOM does not show my PnL for open positions and the FLAT button is disabled. The PnL shows up in the open order tracker but the account number shown is my master account number "DF******A, whereas the account I am trading with is...

horton

I can't access the eSignal settings in QM either. And as I mentioned in a prior post, there is the duplicate issue and the delay waiting for a new tick to show the latest daily bar. It seems to me the issue with the current daily bar could be resolved by building the current bar using data from the ...

horton

Here's another one on the daily chart issues using Esignal. I have this issue too.

horton

This looks like the same issue I am having as referenced in my prior post. Is anyone else having problems with daily charts using Esignal as the data feed?

horton

I'm using Multicharts as a frontend for Esignal. When I run a daily or larger timeframe chart the current day bar or data does not update until a new tick is received from Esignal. This is frustrating because I often have to wait a few seconds to see the current daily bar load despite the fact that ...

horton

RTP to Excel would be ideal. I'm running an alternative platform next to MC just for this feature.

horton

I use MC on Esignal for monitoring the relative performance of 100 + commodity, currency, and equity asset clases and for on demand charting of various securities. But for individual scanning of U.S. equities I use Worden Stockfinder (historical plus real time down to 1 minute) and AB plus Premier D...

horton

I'm running 6 beta on Esignal and frequently find the last bar missing or the last trade on the last bar out of synch with the real time scanner last trade field. The scanner instrument is configured to update on tick, but I can't find a way to do this for the chart. I was able to fix this by settin...
