I used esignal for the same purpose many years ago, so I am not sure if I can remember correctly but anyway I think you can try the following : 1. In QM, go to tools>exchange & ECN>add, to add "HKF" as exchange because HKF is not a default exchange in the exchange list. 2. In QM, go to tools>symbol ...

Hi Henry, Thanks for the revised code. The average function and array function now return the same average; however, it should be noted that the revised code also highlights the asynchronous secondary data issue when using average function on multiple data series. Below is the output based on the re...

Thank you for showing us how to calculate averages. I believe the issue we are dealing here is the asynchronous secondary market data series. May be i should reiterate my findings based on the above code and the attached report : 1. Averages of data1 calculated using array function and average funct...

I thought the error was quite obvious and abundant so I didn't go further. Anyway, from 9:42:50 to 9:45:05, you can see that the averages of data4 are different, same for data5. Whereas the averages of data1 during the same period are the same. I have already manually checked the calculation before ...

Thanks for the advice. Revised the code but same issue happens. input:printswitch(0); var:array_average_1(0), function_average_1(0), array_average_2(0), function_average_2(0),array_average_3(0), function_average_3(0), counter(0); array:ma_1[10](0),ma_2[10](0),ma_3[10](0); counter=counter+1; ma_1[cou...

I have been checking on the mechanics of the array function and found some possible issues with the function when using multiple data series. I compare the results of simple average calculation using array function and the build-in average function. This is the code I used for testing on a 5-second ...

i have the same issue today with hsi futures, cannot receive any data for that symbol but I can receive data for other instruments from the same exchange and other exchanges without problem. i am using mc build 7634 and ib gateway on a 64 bit machine. i use hsi futures as data1-3 and others instrum...

It seems to me that the best bet may be to do a fresh re-install of MC and Java and make sure installing java32 first then java64. That's what I did and it works fine using gateway now althought somehow I have the feeling that using TWS is still more stable.

Hi evdl, 1.Just want to clarify if you try to run one stance of gateway and one stance of tws at the same time? I tried to run two stance of tws/gateway for connection to MC at the same time without any success. I used different IB profiles for connection to different markets using multiple tws/gate...

I tried to use expert commentary after the trading day to check why my actual trades are often different from the model trades; but everytime I switch on the expert commentary, all the performance reports (including those of other charts and workspaces that use the same strategy) become blank. Just ...

I have been advised by ib that it is necessary to install both 32 and 64bit Java in order for tws/gateway to function smoothly. May revert back to using gateway for trading to see if everything is OK.

I had similar experience once while using ib gateway and mc64bit and MC keeps on firing orders and failed to pick up trades until I turn off autotrading. The issue probably arises from the latency of ib gateway because I didn't install java64bit in my computer. However, using ib tws seems to be OK s...

No entirely sure what happened but the connection is back to normal now. Didn't do anything on my part. The port number in Gateway and TWS is the same; the reason for the delay in receiving quotes and placing order upon opening MC is still a mystery but somehow seems to be able to self-correct. Anyw...

The version no. of my IB tws is 925.6b and MC version 8.0 beta 3(build 5375). I don't have any problem with TWS, it is Gateway that has issue. I usually open Gateway first then MC. With MC 64bit, MC will then open a TWS login window again even Gateway is upand running. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/403065...

Thanks for your input. IB's website was actually the first place I look for instruction but I don't seem to be able to find anything on how to install IB TWS and gateway in a windows 64 bit pc, any pointer is greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased a windows 7 64bit PC to take advantage of the new 64bit MC. However, I don't seem to be able to find a standard procedure to properly install IB TWS and IB Gateway in a windows 7 64bit PC. Currently, I have installed only the 32bit java and copy javaw.exe to the windows /system3...

Does the keyword Maxiddrawdown refer to the drawdown of a. the account, b. the particular strategy, or c. the particular instrument? Because I apply one strategy to different instruments and I'd like to know in actual trading if the maximum drawdown is aggregated across all strategies and all instru...

After I installed MC7.4, the order type in order and position tracker shows that all orders are entry. Is it a bug or I am the only one with this issue? Thanks.

well, actually i was pretty sure it is a bug so i reported it and then i realize it may be a good idea to alert other MC users, espeically those who use autotrade, to be aware of this strange issue in the forum which has busier traffic. i myself had to search thru the signals for reference to avgpri...

When I reviewed my chart recently, I find that calculation involving avgprice is wrong. I report the issue here :

Just wondering if it is a bug or I am missing something. Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for info. Now I realize the definition of volume for tick data is different. I changed to ticks and the volume figures match now.

Hi, I have compared the tick volume stored in quotemanager and that stored in the cache of the chart. It seems that the tick volume in the quotemanager is sometimes double of the tick volume in the cache. Is there an explanation for that? This is the data exported from quotemanager: 21/9/2011,16:14:...

You are wecome, Stan. I really think that bar magnifier for all data series can unleash the full power of MC.

Currently, backtesting percision and extended backtesting can only be applied to one data series. Backtesting on strategies that use multiple data series for intermarket analysis and IOG would produce faulty result because calculations involving the non-trading instruments are based on values at the...
