Has this ever been resolved?

a lot of those vps places, were designed for things like database references or webservers where access was more important than processing power. dont think those would be useful for backtesting large amounts of data, so yea i think finding your own processor for your own needs is probably the route...

That's interesting. For backtests and optimisation, the extra Xeon cores seem to help me. Although I am using the .Net version. It's only when when I enable the autotrading does the Xeon chip seem to run slower. If you enable autotrade (even if put a tiny amount using live real money as a test), doe...

For optimising, the Xeon with more cores was faster for sure.
For live testing, I decided to go w/ the I7.

So that's how I ended up using it.

Here's an update. I installed MC.net on a different i7. And it also ran exceptionally fast, like 4 seconds vs 30 seconds to enable auto trading. Could it be that the Xeon processors weren't designed to run something like Multicharts quickly? It works fine for backtesting and optimisation w/ all of t...

Hello Everyone. I have 2 different computers running Portfolio Trader using Multicharts .NET trading 100 sp100 stock symbols. I am only using End of day data to generate trades. I changed the time the exchange closes to a few minutes before the market actually closes, so when it does generate trades...

US equities. However I do want to note, I have one account mapped to SMART which works fine. However, if I want to use a different exchange that uses different closing prices, I use a different exchange, and it doesn't do it automatically. I want my own exchange on the chart side, but SMART on the b...

Ok, just so I am clear. If I use a non IB quote feed like IQFeed, and want to connect to IB, there is no automated way of mapping. So if I have a few hundred symbols for Portfolio Trader, I will have to map each symbol manually? I guess as soon as I finish I have to save the list in case something s...

Thank you for the confirmation. Will wait for the release.

Does anyone have any problems with MC not giving back RAM after it's done optimizing? I have the latest MC .NET 9 build 10715. I have a Xeon processor and 40 gigs of ram. But it doesnt' matter whether I have 4 gigs or 40, it will just take whatever memory I have and doesn't release it. I'm not sure ...

ok thank you, will look at it, and hope to incorporate it

Thank you Felix, I will take a look at them. However, I already purchased the .net version and I figured that would be more flexible in the long term as my needs may grow. My friend who has more programming experience will help me w/ the general structure of it. However, he is not familiar w/ MultiC...

Thank you Felix, Ok, it's good to know that it can be done. I just have to play around with the code since I'm not that great at coding. I took a look at the link (thank you), but it doesn't give an example of how to actually integrate it what I need. The problem I seem to have is getting the rankin...

Hello Everyone, I have a need to test my strategy but hopefully as realistic as can be in market situations. I am going to explain what it would need. Please let me know if it's possible with MC.net I want to trade a portfolio of 100 stocks, say the SP100. My account balance would start at $100,000 ...

I found the formula to implement the smoothing. Apparently it's not just a simple moving average. If anyone could be so kind as to help me code it, since I'm not a programmer. I got the formula from this webpage: http://www.linnsoft.com/tour/techind/adx.htm ADXi = [(ADX(i-1) * (n - 1)) + DXi] / n wh...

I just found this link on Esignal regarding the formula. It mentions something of using Exponential EMA smoothing. Is that something different than the code we have?

Hi TJ I just realised you edited the code you placed. Thanks very much for your response and work. I ran that script in MC to see what kind of results I get. Unfortunately, the numbers it spit out were not what I was looking for. This is probably due to the link that had the formula that I posted ea...

Hi TJ, thanks for your replies, it's very much appreciated. ADX itself is already a smoothing of the DMIs and asks for the period length. Since the ADX is already a type of smoothing, I guess I am going further, and asking how to smooth the ADX itself. Therefore, on the software packages, that allow...

kind of interesting, i see it available to esignal, ameritrade strategydesk, stockcharts.com, ninjatrading, metastock, but for some reason i cant find it for TS or multicharts, after hours of googling. can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I found this webpage, which may be showing the formula, for what I want, but I don't know how to convert it. Does anyone have an idea, if this is the classic "smoothing" that esignal, ameritrade, stockhcharts.com have for ADX smoothing?

I'm not sure exactly, I hear something either a ma, or a wellswidex smoothing. Something similar in a forum I read, but I still don't know exactly where it is to input this "smoothing" http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?threadid=24076 btw: ameritrade strategy desk, has this second smooth...

Hello, new to MultiCharts. I just have a simple question, if anyone can help me. I wanted to put a custom setting of ADX (AvgDirMovement). On my Esignal, I can place, the length, and also a smoothing variable. On MC, I only see the length part. How would I be able to put this in my charts, and later...
