which is what kate replied.
anyway, thanks kate.

then what happens?

thanks.

rokanten

thank you JoshM.

that's actually very functionally important one.
hope MC will add that soon.
i saw developement page and status of bar magnifier for portfoliotrader was 'postponed'

rokanten

Hi. i am about to buy a workstation notebook. and wonder if any cpu(amd or intel) is better for MC, and if any gpu(for example rtx 2080 or rtx quadro 5000) is better for MC. i use optimization via portfolio trader heavily like running it for days, and plot over 200 chart windows, with signals and in...

ok here it is, simplified, array:list[10000](0); var: stdarray(0)...... many var....; totps=totaltrades; mp=marketposition; date0=month(date); date1=month(date[1]); symstr=getsymbolname; (setting starting point for each symbol in array) if symstr="A6" then smonths=335*0; if symstr="AP" then smonths=...

rokanten

i think it's not possible for multi instruments.
for example, custom fitness value as standard deviation of monthly return,
ES 200 300 400
6E -100 200 -300

then what i need is stdev(200,300,400,-100,200,-300)
and it seems what i get is stdev(200,300,400) and stdev(-100,200,300) seperately.

rokanten

can i use my own proprietary code like monthly return of my strategy on Fitness Function window?
or can i use only reserved words?

rokanten

hi.

is it possible to use custom fitness value on portfolio trader of 10 instruments?
for example.. if i use averagetrade/mdd as my custom fitness value,
and try to get that value based on all 10 instruments trades, not based on each single instrument,
is it possible?

hi.

i use HLC chart.
when i do "plotpaintbar(h,l,o,c);",
then this shows me open price even with HLC chart.
i don't want open price to be seen.

how can i get this problem solved?

regards.

rokanten

@Andrew MultiCharts

thanks for your suggestions.
but both of them are not the way i wanted.
the first one would be missing data, and the second one would be exhausting work.
thanks anyway.

rokanten

@sptrader

thanks for reply.
but doesn't work that way.
i tried to plot "1" if there's any blank day, and plot "0" with no blank day
with this codes
" if c of data1<>0 and c of data2<>0 then val1=0 else val1=1;
plot1(val1); "
but it doesn't work.

anyway thanks for your reply.

Hi. i am trying to use correlation function to see the result between nikkei and s&p. the problem is that there's some difference of holidays between japan and US, so if i plot nikkei and s&p on one chart, there shows up a blank day.(as i pointed it in the attached picture) and then suddenly correla...

rokanten

strangely, it works now.
i can't understand why it didn't work back then,
but it's working anyway.

thanks for your support.

Hi.

rokanten

And take a look at this too.
This is anouncements from eSignal.

rokanten

Ondemand hadn't supported 3rd-party, As you said.
This is an image file from eSignal forum, which is my thread.
See the posted date, and please could you check this problem one more time?
If Ondemand works fine with MC, it would be really big help for me.
