It would be fantastic if Deribit was connected.

Volume Profile is something like this:

So true...

A word of caution here, DO NOT trust GOM CD indicators made available by MC support. As so many times mention here and thoroughly discussed at BMT, they do not retrieve real delta. Compare MC CD indicators with SC, IRT, MD. They couldn't be more different. MC need to retrieve true bid and ask volum...

What's your chart type and data?

I am using IQFeed #ES@ on a 500 tick chart.

bibulous

I have a problem with MC 8 RC and the delta volume ( UpTicks - DownTicks ). If I use it in a signal it is always 0. Although, the GomCD indicators downloaded from here seem to work just fine... Do I have to set up something differently in signals? Or in other words are "UpTicks" and "DownTicks" supp...

Hi, I tried 8.0b2 x64 live yesterday. I have QCL# (IQFeed) on a 0.04 (Better)Renko chart and Interactive Brokers as Broker. I could enter the position from the DOM and/or chart just fine, but the display of the position switched from flat to some weird P&L with every update... Stop and limit order a...

I am currently trying to try the x64 version and am running into a problem with IQFeed. I am unable to retrieve any data using the IQFeed client 4.8.1.7 or 4.7.2.0 version.

Same here with TWS 920 and MC 7.2beta.

Hello Bibulous.
Please change the Symbol mapping for Broker Symbol:
6EU1; Futures; GLOBEX;MIBSX;CME; Interactive Brokers

Thanks, but unfortunately this did not fix it. I am still getting the invalid value in field error.

bibulous

Hi, I again get a symbol mapping error "Invalid value in field # 55" in the latest MultiCharts 7. I had this in some beta version before the local symbol field had been added (which seems to have gone again). The mapping error occurs for the EURUSD future with the following mapping: Chart Symbol @EU...

I have a weird issue with Heikin-Ashi chart types. I have MultiCharts 7b3 installed on two computers and on one I do have less choice regarding Heikin-Ashi chart types (see the attached pictures).

It's just a message from the IB API, meaning that you are requesting more than a certain amount of data packets per second. Just an information message that's it.

I understand. My point is that MC should request anything or at least not much...

bibulous

It just means that you are making more requests than they like. Did anything stop working? Shouldn't have.

That's what I thought. I am just wondering what requests it should be... My feed (realtime and historical) is IQFeed and the strategy was not sending any orders.

bibulous

I had the same issue see:
http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/v ... f=1&t=8394

you have to enter a "Local Symbol" with MC 7.

bibulous

Is an implementation of the SQN as fitness's code available somewhere?

bibulous

With beta 2 I just got a "Max rate of messages per second has been exceeded:max=50 rec=453 (1)" (profile "Interactive Brokers") error. I have never seen this in 6.0. Is there anything I could/should do/set?

bibulous

There were additional fields introduced to Symbol Mapping in MultiCharts 7. Make sure you fill them all out. Interesting. Where? I only found "Local Symbol" which I have set to the same as the "Chart Symbol". Is there more I have to fill out? Attached is my current mapping for the ES. Attached is a...

MC has introduced requirement for extra information in Symbol mapping section found under format Strategy, I remember having same problem with MC 7 Alpha and after making necessary changes in symbol mapping it worked. I have not downloaded MC7 Beta but I suspect it could be the reason. Thanks! Look...

Hi,

Which suggest I have to add some configuration. But where and what?

IIRC then mbtrading only accepts GTC orders.

bibulous

I do not think it is the mapping, since it works the 2nd/3rd time I reconnect, but I attach a screenshot of mine.
Any help appreciated...

bibulous

If nobody has an idea about the first point how about the 2nd or 3rd? They do not result in orders with wrong prices, but in case of the 2nd point in no orders..

bibulous

I now managed to make a screenshot of this. This is even without MC being connected to IB. The screenshot shows MC which is 33 to 34 ticks off - connected to IQFeed. Atrader connected to the same IQFeed and NT connected to Zen-Fire. As you can see the prices shown Atrader/IQ and NT/ZF are only 1 tic...

bibulous

do you have any screen shots?

Unfortunately not. I quickly shut everything down, since it was trading live. So, I forgot to do screenshots..

bibulous

Left out the most obvious in my first post... Of course this means that wrong (== based on prices) limit orders are sent to the market.

bibulous

Interesting.. I have a similar problem.This is in combination with IB and IQFeed though. See my post a couple of threads back..

bibulous

The position / P&L shown in the "Order and Position Tracker" is ok though (based on current prices).

Clarification, the "Strategy Open P/L" seems to be ok. The "Open P/L" is off.

Hi, I am running a strategy with IQFeed as feed on @EU# and Interactive Brokers as broker on an 8 point chart. And with this combination I ran into multiple problems. 1. The chart lags.

Figured it out. Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to set up my chart using the IQFeed S&P E-Mini continuous futre (@ES#) and enable auto-trading using Interactive Brokers as broker. For this I somehow need to map @ES# to ESH1 I assume. How and where do I do that? Any help appreciated...

Hi, I am wondering what is from a computation time point of view the best way to deal with inputs. For example: inputs: inputA(1), inputB(2); variables: a(0), b(0); once begin a = inputA; b = inputB; end; Does it make a difference from a performance point of view to rather use "a" and "b" or "inputA...

bibulous

"somehow" this seems to work now. I do not remember changing anything though. Weird. Anyway, now with every tick the same (entry stop) order is canceled and re-send by MultiCharts. Is there a way to prevent this? For example is it possible with IOG to set that the order is only canceled at a new bar...

Good to know.

Thanks,

Bibulous' and other folks' motivation to purchase MC might have been Bloomberg data feed for the end of their life.

I do not even try to imagine how they must feel now...

bibulous

were you testing with bar precision?

I have tried with and without the "Bar Magnifier" (Intra-day 1 minute) on the 1H data series. In both settings trades are being generated.

bibulous

have you tested your logic with an indicator?

Good idea. Haven tried this yet!

bibulous

Hi, I have a problem with in MC6 and enabled IntraBarOrderGeneration. In the backtest the strategy works fine, but in live trading there are no orders being generated at all. And I do not get my head around what I am doing wrong. The strategy logic is like this: if Barstatus(1) = 2 then begin Signal...

Hi,

is the IB Gateway ( http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/a ... ateway.htm ) officially supported by MultiCharts 6 for automated trading?

I found my error.. I actually have to use H[1], since the incoming ticks are already for the new bar..

Ah, ok that's great!

Hi, I have a question regarding IntraBarOrderGeneration. From my understanding if I put [IntraBarOrderGeneration = True]; at the top of my strategy then it is triggered at each tick coming in and I could use if Barstatus(1) = 2 then to check if it is the close of a bar of my selected timeframe (e.g....

Hi,

the Bloomberg data feed does not work anymore with 6.0 final. It says it could not load the data feed. This used to work in the beta 4.

Marc

bibulous

you can manually edit the data with QuoteManager.

Yes, I know. I am thinking about my automated strategy though..

bibulous

not yet...
my understanding is,
this feature has been requested and is scheduled for a future release.

ok, then I will have to work-around this in my strategie.. The chart is still messed up though..

bibulous

Hi,

is it possible to let MultiCharts automatically filter out bad ticks? For example if there is a price difference of x% or if last, bid or ask are 0?
