Wrongly displayed / scrambled because of overwrite, text top right.

I should add, that I'm using point bars, don't know about other bar types.

I have the same problem. All worked fine with displaying text to right of the screen in version 9. In version 10, both releases, the text is not displaying correctly. At first, it comes up correctly, but then it overwrites itself as the bars move on, and the result is that the text gets scrambled. S...

Many traders keep their system online 24/7 for multiple days/weeks. Now that MC has migrated to RAM cache, that means the data never gets to save to the database. It would make sense to provide an option to periodically save the cache to the database, either manually or automatically, so that days ...

You make a wonderful product and you have a fantastic support team! I thought that if I'm a registered user I shouldn't have to register again in order to update from 7.x or 8.0 beta to 8.0 release. Well, I missed that, and used my registration code during the update process, instead of filling out ...

The 64 bit is a separate program, it will not overwrite your 32 bit version. If you don't want your 32 bit copy, you can always delete/uninstall it. I've had the same problem with updating the 64 bit version and managed to install it without filling out any form. Although it refused to install in t...

As noted above, if you have more than one data series and use non-traditional bars (point, range, tick, volume bars), the data replay function is unusable, since only gives you minute-by-minute replay of data. In practice, it actually makes it impossible to use multiple data series! I think, if you ...

Thanks for clarifying. So it's a 'feature' and not a 'bug'. Although it both looks and feels like a bug. E.g., sometimes, when the market moves fast, a one-minute step on the data playback will move you maybe 20 bars ahead in one jump on a point chart. And when the market is slow, you can click 3-4 ...

Hello Kiasom, Can this behaviour be easily reproduced? Could you describe the sequence of actions leading to that? Please also attach the workspace you are using and screenshots demonstrating the problem. Have you tried to use MC 8.0 ? Can this behaviour reproduced on this version? Yes, it can be e...

Here's a word file with a screen shot. You can see that there are two instruments in one chart, crude oil 20 points and crude oil 33 points. On the time axis you see that it's not linear, due to that the instruments are in Points. In the chart, the two point values are both shown together, with two ...

Thanks TJ for the suggestion, but it doesn't change a thing.
Sometimes there is one bar per click in playback mode, sometimes two bars, sometimes three (after having no progression at all for three clicks). I assume there is a bug, since the playback options are in minutes, and not in bars.

I'm having my strategies in Point charts. All works fine if I use only Data1. However, I've started to introduce some calls to Data2, with data from the same instrument, but with another point value. The data playback seems to get confused from the introduction of Data2: It steps oddly. In the list ...

Well said, TJ!

Hello, sdonahue. We are doing our best to support the latest Zen-fire API. Still there are some moments that need to be resolved from the Zen-fire side. Unfortunately we do not have an estimated time for that at the moment. The Zenfire connection has been rather unstable the last days, it's droppin...

- Stop Loss orders are doubled. Right click (on active order) => Attach Exit Strategy => Stop Loss When Stop Loss becomes active the amount of contracts are doubled. So if you're Long one contract and the Stop Loss is hit you're short one contract instead of flat. This bug was confirmed by the supp...

I think it's contra-intuitive to ever use the comma as decimal separator, since in EasyLanguage only the dot is accepted. And why should the optimizer behave differently in its handling of inputs than when formatting the very same inputs of the signal in MC? For less confusion, I suggest to revert t...

All input dialogs for optimization use regional settings for the decimal separator. If in your regional Windows settings a comma is used, you should use a comma - ",". If a period is used, you should use a period - ".". OK, but how can I use doubles with comma for the decimal separator in Easy Lang...

Holidays = time for optimization J I'm on MC7 beta 4, but the optimizer refuses to work as in previous versions. After a lot of head-scratching I found that the optimizer doesn't accept any decimal inputs. Actually, in the list of variables to optimize, it transforms inputs with decimals to integers...

You can login at zen with a demo login, write to your broker and they will tell you the login / psw Thanks kiasom. I called and talked to my broker at Mirus. He said they have no log-ins for demo trading. He even checked with the MC gurus at his firm. He thought MC might have a sim mode in the futu...

What I am post about is either a bug or a blessing (?). Peculiar thing :D Because Duka does not send historic data to MC, no backfilling of gaps is possible (I closed my computer for 20 minutes and no backfilling followed after I restarted the computer and MC ). I checked that it is impossible in M...

Dear TS Support, I share comments made by Bowlesj3 regarding the need for an option to use of the original MC versions of Arw_GetActive, Text_GetActive, TL_GetActive. Some serious arguments supporting the idea were already made in earlier posts on this subject (when the issue first surfaced in MC v...

Thanks for these examples. This is very valuable and can e.g. easily be adapted for some simple order processing.
Hopefully TSS will soon get the _GetActive functionality restored.

... I think this all works.

Yes, if the bug is a stable one... if it's a 'real' bug, or just a 'reporting' one...

Would you mind pasting your code fix here, it will save us all some time. Thanks!

If you read the whole thread, another picture is emerging... TS users are quite cynical: http://www.TS.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=101702&SearchTerm=grail&txtExactMatch= TS9 will supposedly solve a lot of the big issues with TS8, but the history of TS development tells me that TS9 will take ...

I have a BIG nose...

... thanks, TJ.

BarType Returns a numerical value, indicating the resolution units of the data series that the study is applied to. I have two questions! 1. Is there any way to get the current BarType from within a running signal or indicator, is there a 'GetBarType' of some kind ? 2. On TS forum I found the follow...

I was using D4 on XP and it worked like a charm, but have upgraded to Windows7, which is not supported. Anyone knows how to tweak it to work in W7 ?
Btw, none of the programs mentioned seem yet to be supported in W7.

... Personally, I plan to use other related software tools such as "Global Server", "HistoryCentre", "TS Data Hub", and "MetaServer RT" in conjunction with MultiCharts and a venerable old copy of "TS 2000i" to manage a historical database of price and volume information on one computer and then sha...

Thanks a lot for your valuable and useful posts on Zen-fire. Very appreciated. As regards historical data, at bigmikestrading.com there are historical tick data for ES covering 7-8 years (and for CL too, for two years of data). It's in the 'elite' section, meaning you will have to donate $ to BigMik...

I have the same need as Mike.
Zen/Mirus is a realtime, $ account. But they also DO have demo accounts.

Anyone knows if it's possible to share the data feed between two accounts inside MC? Then I could run a demo trade system on the demo acct, and the real trades on the $ acct.

Can someone please explain why plotting is not allowed in a signal study? I've been developing indicators as a function so I can call the same function in an indicator study for plotting, and a signal study for trading. On the face of it it appears silly to load two studies instead of one every tim...
