Well, I don't want my Friday data to be all screwed up and I want today to be filling in correctly. No rollover condition I have tried accomplishes this. There should be a standard for the EuroFX that will give me something like when I look at any platform... NT, ToS, MBT, etc.. I suspect more bugs ...

Friday, everything was fine. Today, Friday is one big bar and I am not getting data, so I guess it didn't roll over. Every help topic refers you to custom futures wiki, but noone says what all the settings should be. I am using the defaults Build Cont Fut Contract on: Nearest Contract Rollover Condi...

I had been drawing them by eye, but I was starting to get nervous about my precision. That's a good trick to use the gann box. I just draw the box from pivot A to B and move the tail to the center of the box. Still, MS Ptichfork should be included in any premium charting package.

I really need to be able to add a modified schiff pitchfork to a chart. All of my other charting packages have this ability (ToS, mbt desktop, NT and ensign). Is it possible to get a plugin or create a custom drawing tool to do this?

You should get twice the processing power from the dual cpu, but the software you are using has to be highly multi threaded. I am guessing that the optimizers are. You could build two i7 machines, but then you have to buy another MC license which blows your savings. You'll have to decided how much p...

I wouldn't take my opinion on which board. You should read the reviews on the first few boards and see which you think will meet your needs. I think the board I mentioned was rated well because it is economical. You may not care so much about that. You may prefer the ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS which I think ha...

Yeah, you will have to use a XEON processor for dual socket boards. Apparently, the i7's are missing the feature that allows them to work with another processor. People seem to like this one. But you will have to find someone who will ship it to you. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N...

After looking closer, only the XEONs are going to run on the dual socket boards. It is confusing because they are both LGA 2011. So, I would still go with the dual socket if you can afford it. With this option you can go with 128GB memory, so you will be in good shape there. Here are some of the boa...

Are you in the UK?

I would get a LGA2011 dual processor board and use two Intel Core i7-3930K on it. If you have money to burn then you can go with the xeons but you won't get much more out of them. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html I can't imagine you would need more than 64GB of memory. Can you estimate...

Thank you. I was able to target the 64 bit platform and .Net 3.5 and got this working in no time. I was all over this formum last night and did not see the post that you referenced. I was trying to do this from scratch and it was getting a little cumbersome. That is a wonderful sample project; just ...

I have created a C# dll and MC8 64 seems to find the dll but can't find the function. Is it possible to call a C# dll or does it have to be C++. If it C# can be used then what do I need to do to reference the function. I tried to just use the function name but do I need to reference the class that i...

And why do my posts display centered?

I am using FileDelete and FileAppend to output indicator values to a file. if LastBarOnChart then begin filepath = "c:\mcdata\" + FileName + ".txt"; FileDelete(filepath); FileAppend( filepath , NumToStr(var1[0],0) + "," + NumToStr(var1[1],0) + "," + NumToStr(var1[2],0) + "," + NumToStr(currentbar,0)...

I have registered MC 8. I am using the 64 bit version. I want my last workspace to open when I start up MC, but it keeps opening the demo workspace. How can I fix this?

Yeah, the plot on the indicator starts 21 bars after the data series. Is there a way to tell the indicator to get the current bar of a specific series or indicator?

Yeah, I know that the plot on the indicator is shorter than the plot on the series. Maybe this has something to do with it?

When you move your mouse over a bar on a chart you will see information about that bar. The barnumber is one of those pieces of information. It should match what was output to the file in my code example. The barnumber in the file is about 20 bars behind the chart, but I expect them to be equal.

Currentbar on my custom chalkin osc indicator doesn't match currentbar on series. Why don't these numbers match? Example: if LastBarOnChart then begin FileDelete(filepath); FileAppend( filepath , NumToStr(currentbar,0) + "," + NumToStr(Date,0) + "," + NumToStr(time_s,0) ); end; So, when I check the ...
