Hello,TJ,

Thanks for the reply, it is good to know that 'quantity' is important and that is the one will send to brokers.

It seems I have to adjust point value of datafeed to be the same as broker's point value setting.

Thanks.

Hello,TJ,

Thanks for reply. Do you mean strategy calculation is based on chart data feed?

If So, what if my chart data feed has different point value than the broker?

By the way, in strategy property, I have to set commission rule.
Is this for chart as well?

thanks

Hello, I try the following 3 combinations: 1).Lmax data feed for USD.JPY charts and X strategy based on Lmax lot applied on this chart (1 contract=1000 base currency) 2).

The reason I asked is I set up both Lmax demo account first and receive datafeed , and now I have LMax Real account. But I still keep getting data from Lmax demo account data feed, which has some restriction in trading hours. I want to switch the datafeed to Lmax real account, but I found even I del...

Hello, I tried to uninstall MC from Windows (including user data, indicators...) and reinstall it . I found the old broker setting is still there .

I see, but do we have to adjust the point value of Lmax default from 10,000 to 1,000?
(Please see the screen shot.)

Otherwise, Strategy on the chart will still treat 1 point value as 10,000
and 1 lot trading in chart will shows P/L of 10,000's P/L instead of 1,000's P/L?

Hello, At some supported brokers as Lmax support to trade 0.1 lot through Multicharts, however I found if the lot is less than 1 in strategy, it does not show on the chart. Plus, I cannot input 0.1 shares (lot) at the trade window in Multicharts manually either. Any other way to place 0.1 lot(shares...

Hello, By the way, I notice the synchronizer script's default setting is [intrabarordergeneration = true]; Is it possible to set it to "false"?

Agreed, SMS is not 100% percent reliable either.

It's better to have other measure to take care of those time critical issues.

Hello,TJ, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the test you suggested on my desktop. This time,I got it at my receiving email account right away.

Hello, I agree MC is not a phone company so sending email alert function should be enough. The problem is the email alert is received several hours later.

Hello,

I am wonder if we can do portfolio backtester with renko chart?
It seems we can only select "instrument" and "strategy" from portfolio backtester, but cannot specify
in what bar chart the instrument will be.

Any insight?

thanks.

Based on your description , it seems you are trying to place an order through esignal.
In that case, it might not be a problem of MC, you might need to test connection within esignal with your broker.

Thanks Josh, it seems VB and C# all works but existing MC indicator and strategy will be coded in C#.
So it might be better to learn C# to be able to understand those existing indicators in MC.NET...

By the way, do i have to learn how to access data base in .net language or just learn the language will be enough?

justmake

I am a power language user and
I am thinking about learn .net language in order to use MC.net and access more features.

Can I just learn VB.net to use MC.NET?

or I have to learn C# as well?

Please advise.

Maybe you can turn on "Intra bar order generation" mode, so that the stop order can be placed at next tick. I am not sure if this will work, but can try it.
