Re: close of data2 issue

Thanks TJ,

How would one code for the scenario of using data2 and data3 in the same moving average.

MA2 = average((close of data2 + close of data3) / 2, Length2);

using

MA2 = Average( close, Length2 ) data2 ;

close of data2 issue

Hi, I have written a very basic indicator that calculates the midprice as the average of the bid (data2) and ask price (data3). it then calculates the simple moving average. See code: vars: intrabarpersist PxRef(0), intrabarpersist PxRef1(0), intrabarpersist BidData(0), intrabarpersist AskData(0); i...

Re: Export multiple symbols

Hi,

Following up on this has anyone got any method to export multiple instruments to ASCII at the same time or any tips to speed up the manual process of 1 instrument bid,ask or last at a time?

Thanks

Re: Manual, Reference, etc. for MC 7

Hi TJ, Thank you for you reply. The fact that 99.9% of the function are already there makes it easier for MC to document the rest of the functions. As a newbie like myself, i am not aware that certain functions exist such as RecalcLastbarAfter, PlaceMarketOrder, ChangeMarketPosition etc and only fou...

Re: Manual, Reference, etc. for MC 7

My main concern regarding the manual is simple: a complete list of keywords documented and up to date. That's all there is to it. Manuals don't have to be 1000's pages long. Precise, concise, and the simpler the better. If Multicharts could maintain the timely, and up to date list of PL keywords wi...

Re: IOG and RecalcLastbarAfter()

Thanks Dave,

That makes sense, so effecively if i have IOG = false and RecalcLastbarAfter(1), the global variables will still update every second and be "up to date" but orders will only submit/ammend/cancel every new bar.

IOG and RecalcLastbarAfter()

I need help understanding how powerlanguage works regarding the use of intrabar order generation (IOG) used with RecalcLastbarAfter(). I am running a 30 sec chart with RecalcLastbarAfter(1) set to recalc every second. There reason for doing this, is that i am sharing information between charts using...

Re: Where is the timesetting for "this bar on close"?

Hi 2haerim, Thanks for the comments. The functions SetStopEndofDay and SetStopInactivity do not seem to be supported by Multicharts. Are you able to use them or are they 3rd party functions? These functions would be very useful and would solve my problem shown above. I am finding using RecalcLastbar...

Re: Where is the timesetting for "this bar on close"?

Hi All, I am struggling with the same problem. I trade in a market where continuous trading is between 09:00 and 16:50, then there is a 10 minute auction between 16:50 and 17:00 and then a final close price. Between 16:50 and 17:00 there will be no ticks as no trades go through. Reading the informat...

Re: Simulated tick to clock MC. Could it be done

Does it take over the complete clock re-calculation. Or it is complementary to the actual bar scale time. I will read about it. I am also interested in this question. I think what is being asked is if the running of the code will only run every RecalcLastbarAfter(x) or if new ticks will also cause ...

Re: Transfer Data between charts

Re: Transfer Data between charts

You can achieve this with MultiCharts simply within your code – always place your limit order at best ask or best bid, or the midpoint by doing the calculation (currentask – currentbid) / 2 and placing your order there. Turn on IntrabarOrderGeneration so on each tick you will keep current. Effect i...
