I am looking a way limit entries between a certain time say 0300 - 1200, or exit if it is a certain time 1600. I have tried to use DateTime objects however they are specific to a certain day so you cant just create a general 0300 time. Advice/tips?

I was wondering if there was a way to output to a file like you can in the powerlanguage version of PRINT. The output methods seem to only be able to print to the console. Is there a way for me to save to an ASCII or txt file instead?

I was changing parameters, then i reset them to the original default. Now I am getting totally different results. I have missing trades and just different trades in general. Anyone else having inconsistent results? I have the most up to date version of multicharts, updated it yesterday.

I have been doing walk foward optimization on my signal strategy. I have tried to sew together the out of sample periods, and their parameters to create 1 equity curve analysis that can be done on the chart. I am using YM back point adjusted. Everything compiled correctly, however the trades are not...

Thanks for the code.

Are we optimizing by ascending or descending?

I just want to get the value, then export it to a text file, basically i want to record the inside bid, inside bid volume, inside ask, and inside ask volume.

I am looking to reference the inside bid and inside ask volume. Is there anyway to do this?

Yes I have a custom futures contract, However if i use custom futures in data1, then it will never execute a real trade using the current contract. How can I get it to execute on YMZ12 but use the custom YM contract for calculation, I think i am in a catch 22.

I have it set to 200, however the 1st data set can NOT have 200 bars in it. Due to futures roll over. I need the calculations to be done on the 2nd data set and executed on the 1st data set which will in inherently have less than 200 bars of data. Is this possible?

I am developing a trading strategy. I am using data2 for calculation and data1 for execution. However I have had problems, that are two fold. 1) The strategy doesn't execute on the data1 set if it doesn't have 200 or more periods ( i am using a 200 period MA on data2). 2) It now is suck calculating....

I am also interested in repositioning the print column. Any help with that?

Agreed there, I mean i signed up for that data feed based on the multicharts post that it worked. Now i am out that money, its not much. But i believe they should have CONFIRMED action on both sides before saying its operational and posting sticky. They should have tested this, if AMP/CQG isnt worki...

I have tried every iteration of examples in the post#2 both inside and outside parentheses. and of data2 as well as declaring variables with ,data2. the reason you see the same "mistakes" is because i didn't keep the changes. if you would like to show me what changes you think would fix it i would b...

I have used the custom contract. Back adjusted for the YM, which i am trying to trade for this. This is fine. also when i just use 1 data stream it trades fine. The only problem is shifting from 1 data stream to 2 data streams in order to actually execute on the current front month contract. I just ...

I still haven't been able to get it to work, even with the updater. I have called AMP and they have contacted CQG. From the AMP tech support desk found that the updater and the CQG index data feed still do not work. I have been trying to get this to work for a few days, and have worked with Henry. S...

I am trying to figure this out as well.

I have tried those techniques as outlined in the post you linked. I even referenced reading them in the first post. However the execution is still lacking. Can you please explain to me how to fix that problem. I understand that you can execute that way but the strategy wont even though all the calcu...

I have created a strategy that uses daily bars. however contracts do not last 200 days so i needed to use data2 to do those calculations however because the current contract does not have 200 days it wont put in an order. I dont understand why not it should execute on data1 (the current contract) an...

if date>=1090624 and date<=1090627 then begin print("b#= ",barnumber," d= ", date, " t= ",time," RSI_Sum = ", RSI_Sum, " < BuyLevel = ", BuyLevel , " and c = ", c," > ma200 =", MA200 ); If ( RSI_Sum < BuyLevel ) And ( Close > MA200 ) Then print("-----------------------------------------------------...

Here is the exported files. this forum is hard to use

No idea how to add multiple attachements sorry

Hello MeiHua, In order to investigate this case please provide additional information: 1) What exact version and build number of MultiCharts are you running? (in MultiCharts go to Help tab-> About) 2) the workspace you are using 3) send us the study export file in Power Language editor->File->Expor...

I have been using daily charts to enter a trade using the enter on close feature. However I would like to enter them on the 5 minute chart instead to allow me to use more fine tuning. I have used data2 correctly however when comparing the daily vs the modified 5 minute entry i am coming up with disc...

Sorry, another quick question. I am trying to get that to take the data from data 2. But i keep getting wrong results. I used a print and output debug already. I also tried to use the custom true range function as well. But i don't think its calculating correctly. Is there a way to use the averagetr...

Thank you, I should have never believed it to be impossible. Very quick solution.

I have had it plot fine before but now over longer data i cant understand why. Is there ever a time here where the average true range will be 0?? its the only divisor. I am using 5 min charts of YM for past 10 years if anyone can replicate. input: length ( 10 ); Vars: Ratio ( 0 ), TSI ( 0 ); Ratio =...
