MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

In this fast market I have taken the steps to break each chart into its own .mcd and wsp. First I attempted to just run MC.Net v14 B3 and just open the desktops I created for v12. It came up with a popup stating "Unable to open Workspace f:\- " I have attached a screen capture. Next I attempt3d to b...

johnromeronc

I run MC.Net 64, so I do not know specifically about MC. What I did was create a desktop .mcd for each of my charts. So, I have a 6 desktops and workspaces each with a different single chart in it. If you want to start all of them at the same time,you can use the windows file explorer and select the...

A possible solution would be to use Events in C#. I have been reading and I am going to try to use them instead of global variables. I have not implemented it yet. I hope to get 'around-to-it' during holidays. I will have some indicators / strategies be an event publisher and others will subscribe /...

johnromeronc

You are correct, the behavior has not changed in V 14. It is just something that as I am now using it more, I see a need for this. There are times I am debugging, and I want to change things and save all. There are other times, I am just trading and I want to change none, or just the ones dealing wi...

johnromeronc

This is not something a bug in Beta 3, but an issue that is a minor hassle. When shutting down MC.Net, it pops up a window asking if I want to save my workspaces. I wish it would do 2 things differently. 1 - It always pops up the window in the same place. This happens to be partially hidden behind t...

I am not sure of the timing, but ... I suspect the latest Win10 feature update has taken away this ability of mice. I have tried another Logitech trackball and it has the same issue of recognizing the Ctrl+Home / Ctrl+End keyboard assignments to my mice. If I find out more, I will reply here again. ...

MC.Net Mouse issue 2019-11-19_11-26-31.jpg MC.Net Beta 2 does not recognize 2 actions with my mouse. It does work in MC.Net 12 current bld. I have assigned Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home to the side pressing of the mouse wheel to be able to quickly scroll to the beginning and end of a chart. I did not test...

MC.Net Startup Pref window 2019-11-19_11-09-50.jpg In starting Beta 2, I have the StartUp Preferences window appear. In it by default there are 2 workspaces checked, which are the 2 that were running when I last shut down. I can uncheck either one or both of them and the results are the same. MC.Ne...

johnromeronc

Henry, Thanks for the update and time line. Since getting access to the data for each drawing tool is complicated, a possible solution would be to send an event when a VP tool was created, moved or edited. You have to perform all of the calculation, so maybe just before exiting, send an event with t...

johnromeronc

Henry, I must have had a brain fart the day I submitted this. as missing capabilities. I know the triangle in front of Style gets me what I want in the way of drawing capabilities. I requested --> I need the ability to interrogate each drawn tool and get data for the values range High, Low, POC,VH,V...

johnromeronc

RonS, First thanks for the time to reply. I am having a similar issue of start up timing, and reported it. They hope to have a fix soon. (Early 14 builds?) My situation is an indicator that uses the Volume Profile data. The VP has not finished loading / displaying and the indicator is trying to acce...

johnromeronc

Maybe this is working as designed, but I feel it is missing needed capabilities similar to what is available in the Chart Data (tab) Volume Profile. It is the ability to only see the features you want and not having to seeing ones you do not want. It makes it TMI - too much information. There are so...

johnromeronc

When starting I always get an error, early in startup, before MutliCharts splash window. Then the 2nd error is when I start a workspace with multiple windows, I get the error 3 times. 3 things they have in common are: - they all have a data 2 - it is hidden and Volume Profile (so I can get at the bi...

Thoughts ... Comments ... Advise .... As I think about implementing a sharing mechanism for plots and other values between my indicators and signals I looked at a number of possible solutions, that meet what I think are my needs, I have read about the following areas. 1 - Concurrent Dictionary - Glo...

Hey FattyHead, There is a different ID / PW for that area of MultiCharts. I'd prefer one ID for all.

johnromeronc

Problem solved. I am now able to read the Bid - Ask, sum them up. and plot after some other calculations. My issues came into play from ass-u-me-ing. Such a bad, bad habit. This stems from my coding to try 4 different methods of averaging. I assumed they were all the same. but no. 2 were Simple and ...

johnromeronc

I can read the error popup and it speaks to a null pointer. I started with the Volume Profile code profided by Henry and then enhanced by mirek to read Bid / Ask , and plot on bottom. I then changed it to print out the Bid / Ask and Delta, very similar to mirek. All is good. Runs - no issues. Next I...

johnromeronc

Is there an environment variable or some other way to be able to tell my indicator that is calculated using VolumeProfile Bid / Ask values @ each level to wait for the load / completion of calc of Volume Profile, so it's data / collections per bar are available to use? If the indicator is on the cha...

johnromeronc

I found a solution over here in this topic. The example Henry provided was total volume, but it is just a matter of selecting the Bid & Ask Volume values and then use them once retrieved.

johnromeronc

First a shout out to -->> Henry, Thanks, I found an example solution you put on forum to get at ILevels - bid/ask volume. It has taken me a few times to read it to understand it. But I have to admit, I would have never figured that out on my own. It is my lack of C# general knowledge. Now I know how...

johnromeronc

OK, I am aware, my inability to complete this is due to my depth of knowdelge of c#. I have successfully coded and run the sample code to min & max VA limits on each bar and print it out. So I have a start. I am now trying to access the 'ILevels' -> Values part of the VolumeProfile structure of data...

johnromeronc

I ahve not been able to figure if this is possible. So far, I think not. What I am looking to do is to have the candle and wicks in the center of the foot print (where the 'x' is). Also as part of that would be to have the numbers at each price level have the 'X' centered left / right. I have tried ...

I am attempting to test the ver 14 beta. Prior to doing this, I am trying to use your BackUp program as suggested before loading the Beta.

johnromeronc

In thinking about it more - I guess I could create an additional variable for each "group" and call the Variable something like _RMI_ as a text variable and have the default value be "===============' so it looks like it is a grouping.

johnromeronc

Is there a way to add comment and / or blank lines in the input window. I am migrating things over from NT7 and over there was the ability to do the following in the input parm popup window. They used something called "Groups" as you defined things. [GridCategory("RMI")] public int Period { get { re...

I have been following along for a while on this topic. I have an interest, as I am in the beginning stages for creating an indicator that accumulates, the ticks that come in to simulate putting back together a large trade that gets reported as a few /many small trades. So my intention is to take all...

In latest C# 7 (2017) there is the ability to return multiple values. Is this supported in Ver 12 ? I have not tried yet.

I have a feature request in for a while now, and it is under review, but needs more support. IT is to create custom drawing tools. This will handle this as well as other requests that have been submitted.

It is my understanding, that depending on where I define my variables in C#, they can be global in MC.Net across indicators, but what I am looking for is --> has anyone implemented or created some wrappers to use Global Variable 2.2, so I can share values with MC regular. I'm hoping not to have to g...

johnromeronc

I would agree having the ability to use values, other than the original data series allows for a much more flexible building of logic. There are many platforms out there that act as requested. I come from NeoTicker, which was that way. Henry, I believe in your suggested method, all code would still ...

johnromeronc

I looked but did not find it, soooo .... is there a way to access all drawn objects on a chart? What I would like to specifically do are 2 things. 1 - find the locations of the 3 points used in Andrews pitchforks, and then use them to draw some other lines on a chart. 2 - read the 2 points used in d...

I am trying to implement my DGL in NC.Net, similar to what I did in MC. I am using the mouse events. I have looked at the sample code. When I get a mouse event, the MouseClickArgs has a member of keys. No matter what I press, or not press (mouse click only), it always returns the same value. I have ...

Are there othere restrictions when using C# with MC.Net? Addign this to a FAQ would be a good thing.

Is it possible to create, debug and compile in VS2010 without the need to bring the code back into MC.Net editor and compile it there? As per another thread I created, there are things that are not implemented in MC.Net Editor that you can do in C# in VS2010, like the ability to add Com .dll functio...

johnromeronc

Henry, Using that guide is how I did access the COM .dll in my test stand alone program in VS 2010. So are you saying I can add the reference in VS2010 and it will stick when I open the indicator in MC.Net editor? Or, are you saying I need to use the TlbImp method? A more manual approach. If I use t...

Josh, I did set the variable (text) I am displaying with Text_New_S and I can change that after drawing and with IntraBarPersist, it now draws the 'new' text on the chart. But they still do not stay there. As soon as I either use another mouse 'click' it's gone. Also if the bar completes then the te...

johnromeronc

TJ and Josh - thanks for your time to reply and put some thought into it. I can now get text to appear on the chart, but it does not stay there under some conditions. Should I submit this as a bug? Observations - Debug still shows the same handle # being created again - every time I press Ctrl Mouse...

This is my implementation of some aspects of Dynamic Gann Levels. using mouse events to recalculate. I prefer to use fib ratios instead of 1/8s as the original DGL - you can change the input if you want. I also did not implement any of the extentions fo the DGL levels greater than 1.0 -- like 1.32, ...

In reading the manual, it looks like I can access text and trend lines from an indicator. Is it possible to access the other drawing tools? I do not want to create them, I just want to read their values. In particular, I am looking to identify all Andrews Pitchforks on a chart, and obtain the barnum...

Henry, 2 things, 1 - I am not asking MultiChart to 'not handle' right click. I am asking it to only handle right click by itself, and pass to my indicator Ctrl-R-Click and Shift-R-Click. 2 - On Left click, the engineers need to use a more specific selection criteria in their routine handling mouse c...

johnromeronc

I created this sample indicator to see how the mouse buttons works. ACtually I found something and expanded it. My question is this - for the left click operations, my indicator works as expected. But the "Right" mouse click - my indicator gets control, and prints to the output widow as expected, bu...

I think I am close, but not there. This is my first attempt at this, so any help is appreciated. I have read the TS SDK doc. I have also looked at some samples used to call functions to put data in Execel SS. I am trying to access a set of routines in a a COM-server (DLL). I do not have the source, ...

johnromeronc

Another possible solution would be to have teh ability to create custom tools. Other programs do this, like NeoTicker and Wave59. NeoTicker also lets you have multiple "template" setting for drawing tools.

johnromeronc

In the DOM it allows you to change the font, which is a good thing, but there is no way to change / increase the column or window size. So the result is that some of the numbers get truncated when you switch to a larger font (needed by us older guys). More configurations options are needed. - abilit...
