Re: Problem with EntryPrice

This the way it works in TS and MC. I can't imagine a way to fix. could you think of a way to retrieve the entry price using the label of the entry ? I don't think it is an elegant solution. We just need to add a separate function in the future releases. And did you add a separate function already ...

Referencing back to the entry bar.

Hi, I just searched for a function which can reference back to the entry bar and found in the EL_Ref_Guide on page 127 "Tying the Exit Price to the Order Bar" that there is a simple function called "At$". I tried to enter this simple code: Buy ("Buy1") next bar at High stop; sell from entry ("Buy1")...

Re: Problem with bar magnifier

A backtest with a 24 hours chart / 1440 minute chart gives a VERY different result than using a daily chart. So I have no idea which backtest I should believe.
If you are backtesting on a tick based data I recommend using 86,400 sec bars.
thanks for your recommendation!

Re: Problem with bar magnifier

Another problem I have with the bar magnifier: A backtest with a 24 hours chart / 1440 minute chart gives a VERY different result than using a daily chart. And again, this only happens with the bar magnifier. So I have no idea which backtest I should believe. I hope somebody can shed some light on t...

Re: Problem with bar magnifier

Dear tradeprice, Please go to Quote Manager, right click on the symbols that you trade on and Clear Cache. This should help. Hi, thanks for the advice. However, unfortunately clearing the cache doesn't solve my problem. I manually calculated several bars where the execution should be, and my buy an...

Problem with bar magnifier

Hi, I wanted to use the bar magnifier on daily charts with 240 minutes precision. In the normal backtesting mode without the bar magnifier all my trades get executed well and as they are supposed to. But once I turn on this bar magnifier, my entries and exits get triggered all over the place but not...

Re: Problem with stop orders

MC is working as expected, to overcome your problem you have following choice: A) Increase your capital base or decrease your order size to fit within your margin/capital requirements. ( I am sure you already know that) B) Hold your stop orders on your side and trasmit them when the event occurs. C...

Problem with stop orders

Hi, I have a problem with stop orders. Let's assume we straddle price with a buy stop (1000 shares) above the high and a sell stop (1000 shares) below the low. Now let's say the buy gets executed, then my protective stop will get placed by multicharts. That's fine so far. However, multicharts also i...
