Hi, I have been trying to code something. I was trying to write a strategy which allows me to establish a few ways to exit after I establish a position. For example, I like to buy 20 contracts when the ES crossed above its 200-bar EMA and place a limit sell order to sell 10 contracts after it moves ...

Hi Henry,

Thanks for the reply.

How do you support the QuickFIX user? Any adjustment to be made from Multicharts?

Regards,

Does multichart work with QickFix engine (http://www.quickfixengine.org/index.html)?

Thanks

In Metastock, there is a syntax called Barssince. This syntax is able to find out how many bars since a condition takes place. For example, bars since MACD crosses above its moving average. In Multicharts, I like to write something similar. I like to know if it is possible to write an indicator that...

Hi TJ, If I want to use MTF trading strategy or a indicator in Multichart, I got to load a subchart 2 which has a different timeframe. In my strategy, I got to use data2 in my signal to generate signals. I cannot do a optimisation on the "timeframe" to see which combination is the best. What will yo...

Will be very good to have it. In fact, MTF (Multiple Time Frame) strategies or indicators are not so easy to write. Because we have to use Array to compute a new set of OHLC before we can use it. I believe there may be less than 5% of the traders know how to program this unless you have programming ...

Hi, I just created an indicator and I tried to incorporate an array in it. I like to plot this array, but it doesn't seem to work. I need some help Below is the coding. Regards, Ken input: Field(Close); var: MA6(0), var0(0), RSIArray(0); array: Array1[100](0); MA6 = Xaverage(field,6); var0 = 0; For ...

Hi,

I like to know a few things about programming. If I like to take up a programming course that will improve my coding skill, which programming language should I take? C Programming, C# or C++?

If we like to build DLL, what do we need from Multichart?

Hi,

I have created ES CC as my symbol for Emini S&P Continous Contract and I conducted a backtest over it. So far, the result has been good and I like to use it for automated trading.

Can I use ES CC as the chart for automated trading rather than using ESU1?

Ken

I want to look at the daily pivot in the intraday chart.

Hi,

I created a array in my indicator and I like to plot it onto the chart. My array is a PivotArray[199,2] and I like to plot the entire column 0, how do I plot it? Which syntax to use and how do I structure it?

Thanks in advance.
Ken

How come whenever I restart my computer, those Symbols that I created in Symbol Dictionary are gone? Anyway to save them once and for all?

Like to clarify something.

When I am creating a custom futures, I notice there is a back adjustment mode, what is that for?

I see Difference, Ratio and No Adjustment in it.

Hi Stan,

yes, I can see that Stop Limit is in Multichart. But what is the syntax of stop limit order in Multichart?

Ken

Thank TJ,

Finally did it.

By default, ES is in the list and I can create a continuous contract in ES. However, MHI is not in the list and I got to create one MHI ticker in the Symbol Dictionary. I still can't create the MHI continuous chart. Anyway to show it?

Assume that my strategy has some leftover positions. For example, it has 5 long open positions in my last session before I stop the automated trading. I want to resume the automated trading and I want the automated trading to continue to manage the 5 long open positions that it has from the previous...

Hi, I am trying to create a nearest continuous futures for Mini Hang Seng Index (MHI) via IB feed. I went to the Symbol Dictionary to create the ticker. From my understanding, MHI expires on the business day immediately preceding the last business day of the contract month. I keyed in the session ti...

I am impressed by the types of orders in Interactive Brokers. Certainly I hope that Multicharts can do something similar in near future. Are we able to put in Stop Limit, Market with Protection, stagged orders, iceberg, MOC, MOO, Scale, VWAP, TWAP and Accumulate/Distribute? The details of the orders...

Hi Stan, I am using marketposition in my strategy rather than marketposition_at_broker because I may run 2 sets of strategies in the same instrument. And if it is using marketposition_at_broker rather than marketposition, ithe strategies may trade based on my total positions rather than acting indep...

Thanks Stan, You alway come to my rescue. But will the system manage the positions it initiated in the last session and trade accordingly? Or will it start afresh? For example, in my code has something like this: If Marketposition = 0 then begin xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx; end; If Marketposition > 0 then b...

Hi, I am trying to use the automated trading with multicharts and interactive brokers. I initiated the automated trading and it initiated a short position. I like to know, while it was holding on to the short position and I turned off the software after market close. How do I re-initiate the positio...

Hi Stan, Recently I tried out the portfolio backtester. I would say that it is quite impressive. It managed to show us how our strategies perform across the board. There is something in my mind regarding portfolio backtester and I am not sure if the current portfolio backtester can resolve this prob...

Thank Stan,

Let me send you the log file for you to evaluate.

Hi Stan, Just found one. This time, I did not use the strategy. I merely use it to close my paper trading position. I hit the close button on the chart trading and it closed at a price that never traded. It is not one or two bids away. It is miles away from the market price. Pls see the chart, how d...

Hi Stan, Thanks. I will look for the logfile and send to you if I encounter this again. Having said that, I believe that my orders in SA mode are in market order and it doesn't require my order confirmation to execute the orders. So very unlikely that the order has been delayed. By the way, what is ...

This is not the first time, I think this is the 2nd time I encountered this. Multichart initiated a market buy order that is not met during that bar. Attached is the chart. Pls see if there is a bug issue.

Hi,
