My timezone is correct. I'm not sure how to see if my clock is different than internet time servers. I'm in Windows 10 and my Date and time settings are configured: Set time automatically - On Set time zone automatically - Off Time Zone - Pacific Time (which is correct) Adjust for daylight saving ti...

I'm on MultiCharts .NET64 Version 10.0 Release (Build 13630) connected to Interactive Brokers (via TWS). Periodically (twice this week and is happening as I write this (3/31/2017), my spx chart has no current data. The last data I have is from yesterday (3/30). Looking in quote manager, I see there ...

Thank you guys. Great information.

I'm looking at possibly doing this externally with windows automation, but in the meantime, I'm using time settings in my signals.

Is there anyway to schedule the times that automated order execution, on a chart, is turned on and off?

How do you access currently open orders that are open as a result of GenerateProfitTarget() and GenerateStopLoss() ? For example, if I do this: buyLimitOrder.Send(Bars.Close[0],1); GenerateProfitTarget(.25); GenerateStopLoss(.25); How can I access the open orders generated by the GenerateProfitTarge...

Too bad, it renders using those to trade much less useful.

I have several DOM windows open with various instruments. If I configure an Exit Strategy, the settings look to be global for all the DOM windows? (I.e. if I set a Profit Target/Stop Loss in one DOM window, all the other DOM windows get those same values). Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Are you saying it only works if the set (or get) is inside of a signal on the main chart? Meaning you can't use this between two indicators or functions?

Ok, thank you for checking on your end.

My version is Multicharts.NET64 Version 9.1 Release (Build 12413)

I must be doing something wrong, or not understanding something because the value I get back is always 0. From my source indicator, I do this in CalcBar(): StrategyInfo.SetPlotValue(0,profit_target); And then in my destination indicator, I do this in CalcBar(): profit_target = StrategyInfo.GetPlotVa...

Can Set/Get PlotValue be used to access a variable (double) between two indicators?

In my case I have one indicator (I2) that is on a daily chart (data 2). Another indicator (I1) is on a point based chart (data 1). I calculate a needed value in I2 and I need to access that value in I1.

Got it, thanks.

Here's the snippet that sets the color to green (in case anyone else has a brain fart).

How do you set an arrow's color in c#?

It was already in there for IB and CBOE. Looking more through the quote manager, it seems like the session times for the exchange (or symbol) might be off. Regular trading hours for SPX (from CBOE) are: Extended Hours: 2:00 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. Central time (Chicago time). Regular Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 3...

My chart (in both) is 1 minute resolution. The first bar I see in MC for SPX is 9:31 (for both local/exchange timezones). All other stocks in MC show the first bar (1 minute resolution) at 8:31 for local and 9:31 for exchange as you would expect. I can't seem to get MC to show me the first hour for ...

Hi, I'm using IB for my data, an I live in the CST timezone. When I put SPX on a chart, it always starts at 9:30 for the open no matter what time zone I use in Format Instrument -> Settings -> Display. Matching up MC and IB (TSW) charting, the MC SPX 9:30 matches the IB 9:30, but I can't get the fir...

Is there anyway to see what the "Default" session is set to? Is there anyway to change that?

Done.

Thanks!

Ok, so those are not for a 'study' in the global sense, but rather an indicator. What's confusing is that if you click 'study' on and off, the signal name toggles on/off in the status line. It seemed reasonable that 'inputs' and 'study values' would follow suit for signals. Can this be added as a fe...

If you look in Format Window -> Status Line in the Enable Status Line section there is a list of items that you can turn on and off. Two of them are 'Inputs' and 'Study Values'. Can someone explain to me what these are supposed to show? Clicking them on / off changes absolutely nothing on any chart ...

I do have one more question. After I installed the beta, I do see the functions in the power language editor (right pane). I don't see them in visual studio 2010, though, where I see signals and indicators. Are they supposed to be in that VS solution?

Great, thank you very much.

Considering you all haven't exposed the code for functions yet, can you (multicharts folks) provide a simple and complete example of how you create and use a function in .NET (c#)? Namely, build a function with one parameter and show how to create and call that function from within a signal and how ...

Thanks, that function looks good! I'll give it a try.

Does anyone know if / where the code is to test for market half days? I thought I had seen such a thing floating around on these forums, but I can't find it now.

I'm looking for an easy way to determine when the market closes each day? (Or just when those half days occur)

Is there a way to manage and customize themes?

In the market scanner, I notice that there is a solid flashing color on the instrument (assuming this is tick indicator). Is this color flash connected to the theme?
