Re: Portfolio Optimization Report

You have to do each one seperately- Take the first and "clone strategy", then for each symbol run the optimization. This should save the opt. start and stops and step so you have less data entry to do. If you are using MC6.x please post your speed results compared to MC5.5 or message me

Re: TS tick data getting "stuck"

Should definately be a priority since many users utilize TS for their data and soon 8.6 will not be supported.

Re: Multicharts 6.01 official release feedback

Has anyone else experienced MC 6.x running extremely slowly in portfolio backtest and optimization mode? I am running 10 symbols over 1 year of minute data on 174 test and it has taken 30 minutes to get halfway done. The memory usage is through the roof- before upgrading I was able to backtest the s...

Re: Data Issues with TS

Also when optimizing, a 960 test optimization estimated 8 hours for completion, previously this same test required 2-6 minutes to complete on MC 5.5. I have 2GB of RAM and a fast processor. I dont understand why the newest version of MC runs so much slower.

Portfolio Backtester commision and slippage

I am using TS 8.6 now to get data for Portfolio Backtester, which has become much slower than MC 5.5 which I used previously. When running a backtest on 50 symbols over 1 year of minute data, my virtual memory used quickly climbs to 1.7 million Kb. Previously I have been able to run such backtests. ...

Exporting Data

I tried to export data of 1 tick and 1 second bars of an ETF, and clicked the option to export indicator values as well. The indicators are Bid&Ask. I know they are real time only but for some reason the only values exported were 0.00, even though I started recording at the open. How can I record ti...

Quote Manager Hangs

Sometimes when I put on a portfolio backtest of 5-30 symbols, the quote manager will begin to download the data and then hang up at certain point. The last message is always sending "stock" 1 minute trade history to data server... but then the quote manager never finishes and resumes downloading. Ha...

Rebate Trading

Our firm is paid to provide liquidity (e.g. getting passive (limit) order filled on the ECNs that we use) and I would like to account for this in a strategy. For example, 1 strategy we are testing made only $-500 to $1000 ove the past year but would have done over 30,000 passive entries and exits on...

HFT and rebate trading

I have a strategy that remains mostly flat in P/L curve but generates 10,000s of trades passively and would earn $24 per 1000 shares in ECN rebates. Is there a way to account for this in my backtest?

I have a strategy that requires minute bars with hidden daily bars to reference for then same symbol. In TS you can simply type the name and it changes both- however in MC this is not the case. Is there a quick easy way to load both symbosl by typing it once? It is particularly difficult when they h...

Creating Second, Minute, and Custom Bars from Tick Data

Is it possible to create minute bars from tick data imported from TS? I was backtesting a strategy using 1 minute bars, and took forever to reload 30 second bars, and then again 1 second bars, even though I had originally performed the test over tick level data.
