Smart Money Index / Last Hour Indicator

Anyone create this in MC? It looks at only the beginning and end of the regular session, usually 30 or 60 minutes. The thinking is that the smart money is active at the end of the session... The calculation is: Today's SMI reading = yesterday's SMI – opening gain or loss (after 1 hour) + last hour d...

Re: Options Module in MC [SOLVED]

Interesting take hilbert. I personally didn't get MC for automated trading, but I admit that I do like the concept and would entertain the idea. I've been trading options for 10+ years and find it rewarding. I swing trade, with transactions lasting several weeks, generally. I also do boring stuff li...

Re: Options Module in MC [SOLVED]

Andrew, thank you for the prompt reply. We hope that MC's management and development team will have interest in making this happen. From a business perspective or stand-point, I personally feel that it would be prudent for MC to incorporate options into the platform. This would attract a whole new, ...

Options Module in MC [SOLVED]

There were plans before to have an options offering within MC. To make sure I am not mistaken, I just found this: https://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-253 Any reason why it was declined? It was slated for MC 7 at one time... Sure, I trade futures, but mostly equities and options....

Re: Trying to Use Market Scanner with Free End of Day Quotes [SOLVED]

Henry, thanks for the follow-up. Was hoping they might include some market data too, as see on the website, but apparently not.

I've got TS now, so all should be ok in that respect (equity market data). Thanks again.

Equity traders using MC?

I know that I must be in the minority here, and while I trade the ES on occasion, typically on the short side as a hedge, I primarily trade stock, ETF's and equity options, not futures. Who all is using MC for equities? What broker, or MC broker, has the most equity and market data? I currently have...
