MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

4trading

Expand Price Scale icon is unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work.

Consequently, this makes some charts hard to read when price bars are compressed into a tiny portion of the chart.

Thanks again to MAtricks for his helpful reviews. Here are some FCM financial ratios that I put together. Hopefully it may be helpful.

Hi Henry: I don't know what caused yesterday's problem.. I re-installed 10.0 v2 today and just did a RT trade at IB. It is working properly now. I guess the re-install fixed the problem and I am signed into PM... but I am forbidden from accessing my Dashboard. :? 403 - Forbidden You are not allowed ...

I had problems with Beta 10 and now this problem, so I re-installed 9 again. It works with IB.

So... is anyone using a 4K monitor and graphics card with Win 10 to report the 4K graphics compared to the old graphics regime of MC?

I already own MC, so the new 4K capability is more about buying new monitors and graphics cards.... or not.

Thanks Henry.

2. Is the new TS PSP (Price Series) supported? It allows you to access the higher timeframe through one timeframe? This functionality is not supported. That is possible to do something similar in MultiCharts .NET Hi Henry: re: Higher time frame within a lower TF chart without data2. Can you point t...

Thanks TJ. I will give that a try.

I just tried MC 9.1 with TWS on another PC and it worked properly in RT.
Something must have gotten corrupted somehow.

4trading

Since I was not comfortable with allowing MC tech support to enter my PC, they were unable to help.

Thanks TJ. I sent in report.
I'll try live chat. Fortunately the ES market is dead today and I'm not missing much.
I'll give live chat a try.

DoM also no longer displays the Daily High/Low either.

MC is currently unusable for me for real $ trading. Works fine in Sim, but that doesn't do me any good.

Orders seem to work OK in sim mode in IB on MC 10.0 beta 2.

Problems earlier today were RT.

Trades do not show up in the MC "Positions History" any longer. MC cancels my stops after being filled @ IB on ESZ6. It shows a flat position (when NOT flat) in DoM starting today.

Can I install 10.0 Beta on the same PC as 9.1, like TS 9.1 and 9.5 on the same PC?

Also, am I correct in assuming that saved workspaces in 10.0 are not also usable in 9.1?

MC 10 will overwrite MC 9 in the same computer.

Good to know.
Thanks TJ.
I will try on a secondary PC.

Hi MAtricks: Thanks. :) I may give your recommendation with Optimus and Rithmic a try. Currently I'm mostly trading futures with IB and IQfeed and MC, some @ TS. P.S.

Hi MAtricks:

Thanks for the broker reviews. What are your thoughts about broker risk, like MF Global and PFG Best failures?

Is it somehow possible to send TS manual orders to MC/IB? Yes I suppose, by writing the orders in TS to a file and then having an automated trading strategy in MultiCharts read that file (with ADE or the ELCollection) and submit the orders based on the file's content. I don't know if the other way ...

I have the same problem with TS 9.1 data.

Thanks for your generous input MAtricks. I'll look into Vision and Optimus this week.

Are you using the Optimus Hosted Solution?

total profit < (Long profit + short profit)

The total profits should be equal to the total of short and long profits, but it isn't equal. Am I missing something, or is my grade school math still OK?

The error is repeatable.

Try chat with MC tomorrow. I haven't done before but there is some way to chat live with them. I'm sure they can fix you up. You could send them an email now about it for tomorrow.

I just added AAPL from SMART (IB) into the MC (trial version) .NET chart. No problems. Sorry I could help you further. I can't think of what might be wrong unless it's the IB - IP address input.

P.S. The charts take a while to load up.

That is a very cool idea for broker diversification in case of another MF Global or PFG Best, etc. I'm afraid to put all my eggs in one basket. I was thinking about this earlier before I saw this post.

For the inquisitive minds, here are the codes of SMA from NT, and the Moving Average 3 Lines from MC.net. The experts can give a rundown on each. Fewer lines of code to accomplish the same thing strikes me as better and more efficient. But I'm not an expert programmer. So MC .NET wins out here vs. ...

Thank you.

Market depth is not supported for some data feed, such as TS?

IB data disconnect seemed to have reset indicator with System.NullReferenceException.

TS supports Level II with a data subscription. IB data is working with this indicator OK for me.

4trading

Same here. Should we download from the trial page instead, so we can get the proper update immediately?

P.S. Your download page where you request a customer number is not encrypted.

Thanks TJ, that's good news. I'm picking components for my new PC build now, so this is important info. MC is newer for me and I'm going to dedicate more time with it. It's quite a bit faster than TS for testing.

P.S. Nice icon or Avatar...

Wow, that's what I thought. Thanks. That's great news.

Hi Henrik:

When you ran your AMD x6 cores, was MC using all 6 cores then? Based upon the backtest time, it would appear so.
