Strange thing is the timer in the same workspace is not equal (pic2), but after few second, timer change to the same value 5:30. Update on issue above, 2 days ago, the internet in my area is down. I observe the problem is caused by the refreshing of each charts (each chart will refresh if receiving...

Would be nice to have in this page https://www.multicharts.com/multicharts/tech-specs/ The minimum requirement for Server spec. Since i have no clues on this, i use the recommendation from FXCM for Strategy Trader as attached. Which works fine. The PC spec. (8 to 10 charts) as suggested in MC page s...

For example, are there any keywords to determine the total number of filled or pending orders for this strategy, for all symbols? You can get unfilled order indirectly by unfilled order = MarketPosition - MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy MarketPosition is the position that shown on chart, ...

I would say before optimizing the first thing is to address a few stability issues. I used to get the same feeling as yours. But imagine if you have 10 datafeed * 10 brokers could be 100 pairs to create the problem because each has thier own software. One reason i choose MC is variety of choices. S...

As usual, server said no problem on their end. If i want them to go further then i have to show them proof which i have 1) Logs (already forwarded to Katrin by e-mail) tsMCFXDataFeed.txt end at 05:18 = Internet or MC stop pulling the data? FXCMTradingSystems.txt end at 05:23 = This is usual, because...

Thank you Dave for your reply. I did not change anything. Suddenly the problem is pop up at 03:30 yesterday. Waiting for the openning of live chats. ======================== After checking with Katrin. Somehow server clock is wrong. So we synchonize it and problem of timer is solved. Good to know th...

For 7.2&7.4 Does the countdown timer (pic3) problem resolved with this version? The resolution is 5 but timer from time to time is 6:50. Lastnight even a good internet, timer is disappear and MC hang, so i think it is not entirely link to internet. Somehow it is related directly to the setting of MC...

No perfect software in trading world.
So far MC trying to solve serious problem with in a week which is rare in this business.

Therefore you've got me 1 vote, Done.

I got the same problem. Then i restart MC, but it does not solved. After that i restart my server. So far i have MC run 10hrs with out problem (placing 3 to 4 orders). I spend all day looking at monitor! My observation, from the log (in my case "FXCMTradingSystem_Trace") ----------------------------...

Finally, if I follow what I write above, I will have something like 16 charts that could each hold a position. It seems to be a bit of a pain to manually reconcile open positions at the start of each day (many of these may hold overnight). The idea is to store your value (position) in seperated tex...

In my case, i do not want to try new features. But the reasons to use the beta are Stability and communication between brokers and datafeed. For example i can not use 7.0, because of stability. 7.2 is my only choice because stability resolved. Then i have stop problem with 7.2. Would it be a good id...

PricePuzzle

For most users, there is absolutely no reason to constantly upgrade. Unless you MUST have a new feature in the new version, otherwise, please, don't fix anything that ain't broke. A trading system is like a Rubik's cube, if you move one thing, it will impact others. Trading is a serious business, p...

Genetic Optimization is one of sampling method. Nobody can answer your question because the performance of Genetic Optimization rely on your criteria, data, your strategy. Try to plot it with 3D Optimizer. If the combination above produce only 1 peak of result, then 109 samples out of 480k is enough...

Hello Henry, It is understandable that MC is in the tough period, since you are trying to combine auto and manual trading. Most of the problems are generated from new features of manual trading, i beleive. Since i am fully automated trader, i do not need any new manual trading features. But we are f...

1) This is the second time. First time is 2 to 3 month ago, but i did not capture the screen. To enable the logs may not help since i already removed Stop order and change to Market order. 2) In my opinion both cases are similar that is the charts execute sell order above stop price (order send to b...

Problem of Stop Limit is the need of confirmation from broker if either one filled. After receive the confirmation, MC will cancel the one left. The communication time may take longer time than market moving to hit left stop. Means you have 2 positions both stop price and limit price instead of 1 or...

Hi Henry, Thank you for your reply. 1) AUDUSD: This is the real time mode with real account. To my knowledge, stop order no matter if the bar magnification is ON or OFF, it is executed right at the price. When i restart strategy then the trigger time moved from 4:00 (realtime) to 5:10 (historical) a...

2 issues. 1) AUDUSD chart execute Sell order at 1.02840 while the lowest price at 1.02841. The executed price is lower than the lowest of the bar which is not correct. On the other hand, my real FXCM port with stop is not hit. So this create discrepancy. 2) EURUSD chart has a discrepancy in executio...

Agree with TJ, from my experience the biggest factor is number of charts which means the number of data complied. Skip identical tick option can reduce some workload. OPT window is another big factor, try it you will see that it consume 10 to 20% more of CPU. So i will open only if i want to see ove...

Not yet. Actually it is 2 issue. 1)Market is closed. Any trading functionality is not available.(ORA-20126) 2)Order is in process 92556808(ORA-20136) on (2), Katrin already passed it to the engineers. For (1) is not critical for me cause it happen once a week at openning of market. However i will do...

7.2 Stability is hughly improved since 7.0, 7.1. Fully automated trader should be satisfied with this version (with trace disable). However regarding the logs file that is writing at crazy rate 1GB per day (8 instruments running), i think it is not practical and not handy to deliver. From my opinion...

PricePuzzle

That means you have more quotes than your computer can handle at that moment.

This also means your CPU/RAM power is not enough. You have to close something. Check your Task manager.

I suggest you check first your data (OHLC) to find out if there is any mistake by. 1) Plot in 1 minute bar or the raw unit of data that you have. 2) Open your data as text file to see if there is any different. If there is no different in data, then it is the issue of how to plot the bar and shift t...

I already sent the code. Please inform your result. 1) As i suggest, the problem occur only when you have positions on hand with some (5-6 )instruments with FXCM account. 2) For optimize code, please inform what keyword that has effect on TradingServer.

TradingServer.exe consume more CPU than MC itself. I beleive because of the stop order that update every tick with IOG.
