MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Laurent

Same for today, the session is closed, the data is available on yahoo. But I'm not able to get it on my chart.

Laurent

I know. But the session was already closed and you could already download the quote manually in csv on Yahoo. It's more a problem of refreshing in MultiCharts.

Laurent

When I use edit data on my Instrument (ACA.PA) in the quote manager, there's not the last day (27/04/2017). It only gets yesterday 26/04/2017.

But the 27/04/2017 data is available on Yahoo/Google.

Laurent

I have the last version of MC (10.0 Build 14245 x64) I have a serious problem with the refreshing of the free quotes connector. It's not refreshing at all. For example, I add a symbol in the quote manager (ACA.PA) I open the chart in MC, it works. The next day, I open the charts, it's not updated. I...

Laurent

Thanks for your answer JoshM. Presently the following field types are not supported: Time, Open, High, Low, Close, Total Volume, The program receives ticks only and assigns the current system time to them. Sometimes the tick's real time may differ from the assigned one due to delay I'm not sure DDE ...

I want to trade cryptocurrencies via the Ripple network (https://ripple.com/payment-network/). I fetch the cryptoccurencies data (price, volume, order book) via their websocket protocol and I store everything in a mongodb/couchdb database. Now I would be able to use that stored data as a feed for Mu...

Laurent

Yeah.. we definitively need this.
I'm waiting for that feature since 2010 lol

Laurent

There is still no way to get bitcoin quotes from live gateways (mtgox, bitstamp, btcchina) in MultiCharts? No connector for it? You can only download manually daily EOD quotes...?? :( So in fact you cannot trade BTC with your own indicators/systems. It kinda s.....x :) I do not call that a SOLVED to...

Laurent

In fact it's not a good idea to MC with eSignal on demand and delayed data. It just does not work on MC, it does not refresh correctly. ;) You can only use eSignal on demand with historical data. Too bad :'( https://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9668 https://www.multicharts.com/...

Laurent

Hello from France, MC lacks of support of european brokers, but it seems some efforts are done since the last year. I hope it will continue! IwBank is italian isn't it? You're lucky :) I have some experience with eSignal, for realtime + some european feeds you will pay almost 150 euros per month, th...

Laurent

I have cleaned some directories with a lot of EasyLanguage indicators. I have tried to compiled them in PLEditor and put the one which worked in an archive. About 95% should compile :-) You can download the archive here: http://www.lecoindutrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/PowerLanguage-Compatib...

Laurent

There are both versions!

Laurent

Laurent

If I post a code, I post a few things about the API (and so about the program).
I will not post codes until I have the authorization of the MC staff!

But you know, if you are customers of MC, you will easily get a beta version with the documentation!

Come one, send a mail to the support

Laurent

Hello Tresor,

I'm not sure I can post them here! The beta is closed for the moment.
Maybe the best thing to do, is to ask to be beta tester to be able to read the documentation!

Regards,

Laurent

First function and first indicator done! Wooow happy

Laurent

Hello tozwp,

I have done an update on my site to be compatible with MC 8.0.
You can download the archives here: http://www.lecoindutrader.com/mes-indicateurs

Regards,

Laurent

I had not the time to update my site and the SEF files for MC 8.0.
I have recompiled Jurik Average Filter for you!
Do you need another one ?

Laurent

Cool, I will buy it then

Laurent

Everything is in the title

I would like to create a video to send to the support.
What is the best freeware to create one ? Any advices?

Laurent

You should write a mail to the support with your mail and your actual license.
And it should be ok!

But I think the support is closed soon! So tomorrow

Laurent

My first impressions as beta tester: After 30 minutes of try, it looks more than promising!!! It looks really great! I'm sure .NET fans will love it ! I'm reading the code of common indicators (bollinger/keltner/average), it's really clean and the api seems really easy! That's what I wanted!!! So gr...

Laurent

A new tab on the Web site

So Great!

Laurent

In my opinion, that would be nice to have an official feed (unfiltred) for MC (as Kinetick for NT). No need to reinvent the wheel. Just rename/label a good feed such as CQG or IQFeed and sell it with MC as a package (maybe cheaper?). Are some users interested ? Maybe I could post a feature request o...

Laurent

I have used it on a blog, and it works well.
It becomes easy to read code. You also can add your own syntax (to support powerlanguage).

Laurent

Yep, that's cool ! I suppose/hope you have a deal with MC ?
But for older customers, urgh :-p

Laurent

Profit with the Market Profile by Dr. John Keppler

=> I agree a very good book (I'm reading it since a few days)

Laurent

Swisstrader, I agree with that, you did a great job, I'm sure it's complex to develop, it takes time and money. Your toolset is cheap and surely works great. MD has monthly fee, your toolset has not. But I want your toolset or an equivalent in the core of MC, as a native implementation / feature! I ...

Laurent

You're right, I have not tested them myself, so my judgement is not really fair... Mea culpa. I have checked your videos, it looks to do the jobs but are you sure it can be compared to softwares such as MarkDelta (the reference that I have tested) ? I do not think but I hope to be wrong! The fact is...

Laurent

I also hope to see MP/footprint charts implemented in the next version of MC (8.1 or 9.0).
I think it's one of the major feature that is missing for the moment. Commercial indicators/custom indicators are not as good as the native implementation in MD/IRT (or codes in NT)

Laurent

So True

Laurent

I have added some feature requests. If some people are interested, do not forget to vote. IG Markets support - http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-1010 BinckBank support - http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-1012 WH SelfInvest support - http://www.multicharts....

MC supports a lot of brokers but mainly for American or English people. I do not want to open a trading account in an american bank or another distant country. Not a good idea for me to put money on a foreign account (I'm not fluent, I do not know enough the legislation, there are brokers in France/...

Laurent

too much teasing

Laurent

I wonder if the MC.net API will be very different of NT (Initialize()/OnBarUpdate()/Plot()...) or others softwares. Maybe if it is not so different, it will be also easy to convert existing scripts. That's the unknown, I wonder if it will be easy to adapt :-) PS: maybe it's not but maybe it is also ...

Laurent

We will announce prices shortly and I believe you will be pleased with it and decide two have both products at the same time just in case some programmers will develop the great (free!) stuff you would want to use in your MC.NET version!

Any news about the price ?

Laurent

That's a great idea, not only for traders but for the marketing/commercial part of MultiCharts!
(Help for MC with powerlanguage + help with MC.net)

Now only MultiCharts knows if it is viable economically.

PS: And I do not see how to protect a public code in EL/PL from being ripped by a TS user.

Laurent

Hello Arnie, It's always a pleasure to read you! I think more and more traders are developers nowadays in order to develop complex strategies. On BMT, I think there are a lot of individual/independent traders. That's not with an RSI and an exponential moving average on a chart that's you will get mo...

Laurent

I do not agree with a few things in your post, but it's nice to have different opinions.
Thanks for your post JoshM!

Laurent

Why not, but I think that would be better to work on the GPU optimization.
But it has been refused on the pm for the moment!

Laurent

I see lots of sharing, not just for MultiCharts, but for EasyLanguage at large. That's the problem, that's TS community, not MultiCharts one. We can say we have a community just by posting code from TS forums (or apparented) (just because it's compatible). For me EasyLanguage is being declined, but...

Laurent

In my opinion, the main problem with MultiCharts is the fact there is only a small community. Just a few users (still the same) that share their strategies/codes/experience or that participate to the features/bugs. That's not because the product is bad. We all know that MC is a great product, surely...

Laurent

Well, the most famous trading software that use .NET is certainly NT. Moreover they have a large community with skilled users/developers. I think it's also the first one to have supported .NET. They have an experience :) AB for me is losing "momentum"... They also do not have a large community. On a...

Laurent

Sniff :'-(

Thanks Henry!

Laurent

Will the beta be out this week?

I'm curious to read the "API" to interface .NET indicators!

Laurent

There is a commercial set of indicators to identify almost all the candlesticks you want

It's for TS but maybe you can convert it for MC if it's not protected!

http://www.technicaltradingindicators.c ... n-72-p.asp

Laurent

http://www.bigmiketrading.com/ninjatrad ... hread.html

That's a great list of features from NT 8 users!
I'm sure it can give some idea to the MC.net developers

Some ideas looks great!

Laurent

Too bad to lose money due to a bug of the application :-/

Laurent

Hello,

Will be the compatibility between SEF files added in MultiCharts 8?
(Will it be possible to use SEF from MC 7.4 in MultiCharts 8 )

I do not know if it will be possible to do that in MC.net (I do not think so but I'm asking). Sometimes, you want to do some automated tasks in MultiCharts. For example, every day, I want to open some instruments with custom indicators and take automatically screenshots of the charts. Actually, the ...

Thanks for your post vking!

I hope to see other posts like that from old/current NT users!
I think that the way things can be improved for MC.net!

Take the best from everywhere

Laurent

Yep, that will be great!

Laurent

It will be also easy to connect to a database (sql server, ...) to do some stats for example! It is not the case with MC!

Laurent

I find actually the MultiCharts community lacks of people who develops in powerlanguage. In fact people are taking code/indicators from TS forums & co, but I find there is not a real community of traders that are developers. I think it can change with MC.net, the NT community is full of experimented...

Laurent

Let's wait for the official release!!!

If some (old

) NT users could post their expectations of MC.net, that would be so nice!

Laurent

In fact I have never used NT, I thought it was completly free but as you say, it's not free for live trading/auto-trading! That's a good point ;) BTW I'm sure some people have tried NT, that would be nice to know what are the "limitations" of this software in order to fix them in MultiCharts.NET (if...

Laurent

Wow looks great!

Laurent

Let's start as I'm alone

Advantages:
- Multiple brokers,
- 64 bits,
- Nice charting,
- Nice support in MC.

and?

Laurent

Oops where?

That would help customers to make a choice!

+ That would be also cool to know what are the limitations of NT to be able to change that in MC.net.

Laurent

I wonder why nobody has asked this question before, but I'm sure a lot of people are wondering what are the advantages of MC.net compared to NT ? I have never used NT and I really love MultiCharts (I'm really happy to know there will be a version that will support .NET), but for new customers (?), w...

Laurent

Hello that's a great idea to have a .net plateform.
I hope it will be easy to convert code from NT for MultiCharts.NET!

)

I also hope that people like me who have a lifetime licence,
the price will be correct! That would hurt me to pay twice for this "feature"/new concept

Regards!

Laurent

Maybe that can be use:

Thanks TJ,

That's the way I'm going to do it.
But that's really not easy

In fact TJ, I would like to save data of indicators each hour of a trading day. Each hour, I would like to plot my indicators/signals and to save their results in a MySQL database. But I have 2 problems with what I want to do: 1. Is there a way to do some automations with MultiCharts? I don't think ...

Laurent

Is there an easy way to save data from MultiCharts (indicator values, price, ...) in a MySQL database ?

Is there any kind of MySQL connector ?

Hello Stan, Let me add 2 questions :) 1. Does MC use sequential calculations or parallel calculations during the optimization/backtest process? Does it depend of the kind of optimization? (neural/exhaustive?) 2. I do not know if you know "bitcoins" (that's an electronic currency you can generate wit...

I thought it was also using multi cores

That's why GPU is a lot better

You can have performances 100 times better (just see mining with bitcoins)

For the MFI, I have also coded it (it looks also ok on a chart). // MFI - Money Flow Index - Function Inputs: Series1 ( NumericSeries ), // High Series2 ( NumericSeries ), // Low Series3 ( NumericSeries ), // Close Series4 ( NumericSeries ), // Volume Len ( NumericSimple ); Variables: TP ( 0 ), RMF ...

Damn, I need to buy some glasses .... :'(
Thanks a lot.

Just in case, as the link was not available, here is the code of the indicator... input:thold(20),length(25); var:hiref(0),loref(0); hiref=100*((length-nthhighestbar(1,h,length))/length); loref=100*((length-nthlowestbar(1,l,length))/length); plot1(hiref,"hi"); plot2(loref,"lo"); plot3(50+thold,"hire...

For the IMI, I have coded it myself (it looks ok on a chart).

During an optimization (backtest) on a portfolio, I have the following error: "Tried to reference back more bars (51) than allowed by the current MaxBarsBack settings. Please increase the MaxBarsBack settings". Well I do not see where I should increase the MaxBarsBack settings in the Portfolio Backt...

Laurent

Thanks a lot TJ!

Laurent

Thanks, but I will try to improve myself =)

So to clarify, my last word

Higher than all the highs on a definite period after my buy signal (like a peak).

Laurent

Hello TJ,

Sorry for my english! Not easy to explain it being froggy

High/Top as I thought => Higher than all the highs on a definite period after my buy signal ( or the first higher after my buy signal, like a peak on Metastock).

Hi, I want to optimize a trading system to find its best settings. I need your help for a part of the code ;-) Let's take a simple example: I have an indicator which give good buy signals. I want to find best settings to use it. I would like to create an indicator which sell every high/top after I h...

The original version coded quickly, hope it helps.

Code: Select all

inputs:

	DataValue ( NumericSeries ),

	Length ( NumericSimple ) ;



Value1 = 2 * WAverage( DataValue, Length / 2 ) ;

Value2 = WAverage( DataValue, Length ) ;

Value3 = WAverage( Value1 - Value2, SquareRoot(Length) );



HMA = Value3 ;

Laurent

Thanks a lot Geektrader for the code!

How do you prefer to use them ?
With a signal line? with supports/resistances on the charts? as an oscillator?

Is there documentation about it?

Laurent

Thanks for your answer Dave.

Laurent

Hmm there is one in my version.

1. Launch MultiCharts Portfolio Backtester,
2. In the Porfolio Tree, right click on Instruments (Strategy 1 for example)
3. Import Instrument List

Do you want a screenshot?

Laurent

Hello everyone, I have a few questions :) 1. What is the format of the csv file for the Import Instrument List feature of the Portfolio Backtester? 2. In this format, is is possible to also add Instruments for Data2, Data3, Data4 ...? 3. Is it also possible to specify the resolution (Day/Week/Month)...

Hi, Is it possible to create my own indices on MC? If yes, how to do it ? (For example, I would like to create an indice by sectors / subsectors on french stocks. Sometimes the indice I want to create will be composed by more than 20 stocks). Any idea or link to explain how to do it? (If it is possi...

Laurent

So As I said, eSignal On Demand cannot be used with MC.

MC can be used with eSignal Premier or with eSignal Data Access!

Laurent

Thanks to Dave for his help!

It seems eSignal On Demand cannot be used !
I'm going to use eSignal (Premier) feed, and I will tell you

Laurent

I presume, I have just seen... "Compatibility with some 3rd party software" on the main page :'( Well maybe I was blind with the difference of cost between eSignal Premier / eSignal On Demand ... Btw, I do not want to suscribe to eSignal premier, if it's a problem of connection of MC and not a probl...

Laurent

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Did not see that.... FAIL :'(

I'm waiting for an answer of the MultiCharts team (are you in the MC team SP?), because maybe that's not the issue! There is a winsock error at the end of the log.

And I wonder how they would detect that MC I use and not me =)

Laurent

Yesterday I have posted a message... I was trying to make MC works with eSignal LiveCharts. In fact it is not possible, MC needs to have the eSignal Data Manager installed. I'm okay with that! So today, I have suscribed to the last eSignal On Demand Offer and I have tried it with MultiCharts. (I hav...

Laurent

Ok it does not seem possible to install eSignal Data Manager and then to use it with a LiveCharts account. Too bad for me!

Laurent

Hi, I have recently suscribed to the esignal LiveCharts offer (http://esignal.com/livecharts/default.aspx) and thus to realtime feeds with LiveCharts. I would like to use the login/pass of LiveCharts with MultiCharts esignal module but there is no settings with the esignal module in MultiCharts. - S...
