MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Andrew Kirillov

Dear customers! I’m really pleased to see this discussion and I do recognize importance of your suggestions. I’m happy that many of you find MultiCharts is the best platform out there. Please take a look at the list of fixes and improvements we’ve made over the course of the last 10 years! It is ter...

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
The hsitorical volume delta charts will be identical to MD in beta 2 since we use your suggested additional IQ feed information. It is only true for IQfeed.

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
Thanks for your comments. So you believe that MD/IRT backfills footprint charts right? Am I correct?

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
1. Could you specify software that works identical with real-time and historical data?
2. Take a look at the picture attached. That is the native IQfeed client. You can see that the trade price doesn't match either bid or ask. Ideas?

Andrew Kirillov

Hello Triage, 1) Does MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy give the market position of the strategy in the MC order engine? Yes. 2) If I have multiple strategies in a single chart, then does MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy keep track of each strategy separately for that chart symbol? ...

Andrew Kirillov

It is just awesome.

Andrew Kirillov

The programming tools will be obviously different on the flagship MultiCharts and MultiCharts .NET. MC. NET will give more power for advanced programmers and they can do more. At the same time it is not friendly for traders, not programmers. So we will be developing both products at the same time. N...

Andrew Kirillov

You will get complete documentation and 30 day trial. The built-in indicators will be available since we've converted them into MC. NET.

Andrew Kirillov

why would they buy a version of MC.net compared to the free NT software that support NinjaScript (in fact dot.net)

Keep in mind that the free version is a limited product that doesn't allow you to trade and auto-trade. In contrast MultiCharts .NET will be a complete product for better price.

Andrew Kirillov

MultiCharts has great charts. However .NET version will allow programmers to do even more. This is what we've created for a few hours as an example of GDI possibilities in MC .NET. It looks great and doesn’t have any significant impact on performance. http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/download/f...

Уважаемые клиенты, Убрать донгл равносильно прекращению выпуска новых билдов плагина, поскольку это потеряет экономический смысл. Я полагаю, Вы не хуже нас знаете, как наши люди любят бесплатное ПО. Мы не будем это делать, чтобы обеспечить развитие продукта и поддержку тех, кто честно заплатил за эт...

Andrew Kirillov

Are there any plans to create easy language reserved words to access the DOM data (level 2)

Yes it will be done within 6 months.

Andrew Kirillov

We do appreciate the comments. We will consider all suggestions. The basic mouse click functionality is already implemented and will be available soon.

Andrew Kirillov

I must admit that GetUserID is not perfect. So GetUserName will be added in 7.5 in two weeks.
I do apologize for the inconvenience.

Andrew Kirillov

customizable - buttons (this is huge feature)

How does it work?

Andrew Kirillov

at this point - this is one event ( one click).

Could tell me the name? I can't find it to be honest:) Thanks.

Andrew Kirillov

Could you give me the TS9.1 script that uses down & one up events?

Andrew Kirillov

Thanks for the comments. Yes we must improve our PM feature management. We are working on it.

Andrew Kirillov

Yes indeed, but we don't believe the add-on value will justify the developments efforts.

Andrew Kirillov

it's also important to return the BarNumber as part of the mouse click event. There are occassions - maxbarsback is going to cause issues and this needs to be carefully examined to make sure there is unique bar number returned to the mouse event handler. You are correct maxbarsback affects the effe...

Andrew Kirillov

We will not make the idle feature, because we don’t believe it is worth to do. Regarding PM. We are very careful about it. You will see lots of the PM features done soon (some of them already finished). For instance MC-390 is completed and will be available very soon in MC 8. You will see other grea...

Andrew Kirillov

You are correct. We've been in touch with NVIDIA folks and they can't find a way how we can use their technology in MultiCharts. It doesn’t work for bar by bar calculations.

Andrew Kirillov

Please tell us if this functionality can give you some benefits and how you are going to use it. Thanks

Andrew Kirillov

To load 64 million ticks, how much RAM did you need? About 5Gb. Firstly, since we'll have the opportunity to work with tick data spanning several years, would it be possible to noticeably speed up ASCII import/mapping operations? I imagine, import of a couple of 5-6 Gb tick data ASCII files will ta...

Andrew Kirillov

We believe we will have limited beta testing in January.

Andrew Kirillov

It took less than 5 minutes in debug mode on a modest pc so it is more than expectable for such an advanced analysis.

Andrew Kirillov

Please see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9674.

Andrew Kirillov

Stock up on RAM and achieve what’s never been possible with EasyLanguage! See attached image.

Andrew Kirillov

We are really close to the original schedule so don't worry please. We did take all bug reports carefully so we had to postpone x64 release, but now it is almost done. We believe we will have limited beta testing in January.

Andrew Kirillov

Could you post a screenshot please?

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
It is a good point. Did you use an indicator to plot the data for print screen you posted? If so please give me the indicator code. I encourage you to add ask and bid data streams only and see overlaps. It will allow us to make an isolated test.
Thank you

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
Please send me a screenshot of QuoteManager->Data Sources-> Zen-fire data feed.
It should show 1.0.1284 version.

We have no issues with the latest dll on our end. Please let me know.

Andrew Kirillov

Please wait for the new build.

Andrew Kirillov

"However you should never get a new best bid at 12 without having a higher (13) best ask first. "
Is this statement based on some facts or your opinion? I'm telling you what we can see. Did you come to helpdesk?

Andrew Kirillov

MultiCharts DT Alpha 3 is coming tomorrow and it will fix this issue.

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
There is no MC 7 beta yet. We are working on it. The plug-in is not compatible with MC DT. So if it doesn't work you can visit our helpdesk for further investigation or wait for the beta. I would prefer if you take advantage of the helpdesk!

Andrew Kirillov

Nick, I do understand your concern, but the issue is Zen-fire/Rithmic specific. Let me give you an example. Let’s say we have Best Bid = 10 and Best Ask = 11. The new Best Bid comes and it is equal to 12. MultiCharts design requires that we send both ask and bid at the same time. So we must use some...

Andrew Kirillov

Nick,
MC6 will work. Just try the dll. I don’t want to spend more time discussing it. See Zen-fire/Rithmic API and you will see the ask/bids fields are sent separately, not as single data field. It is easy to understand that they will be updated at different times and that overlaps are possible.

Andrew Kirillov

Hi Nick, I understand your concern. Obviously we don’t throw data away. We just wait for milliseconds to get an updated value for bid if ask changed or vice versa. Again the issue is they are not updated synchronously and as a result the overlaps are possible when market changes quickly. Please try ...

Andrew Kirillov

Please downgrade TWS. IB have changed data structures slightly. The next MC DT build will support the latest TWS.

Andrew Kirillov

Nick, Dave is on vacation so I will try to continue investigation of this important issue. We conducted a few tests and found that overlapping happens on Zen-Fire/Rithmic plug-in only. It is a single problem that doesn’t characterize MultiCharts. It is explainable, because all other data feeds provi...

Andrew Kirillov

With DOM - when try to enter the buy order at bid - it masks the contracts at ask price - which is very inconvenient as I don't know how many contracts are in ask side ( inside ask). Would it be possible to change this functionality similar to NT - where the working orders are displayed in the left...

Andrew Kirillov

Tresor, TJ
Please stop. It doesn't make sense. Let us talk about features. The thread is large and it will be hard for the new users to see what is going on here.

Andrew Kirillov

Tresor, I was refering to discretionary traders and only discretionary traders. Not (all) traders. I admit I exaggerated. Right. I'm talking about discretionary traders as well. We do recognize the different trading styles and we will add attachment to a position soon. I never wrote that placing a b...

Andrew Kirillov

Tresor, Despite I really value your efforts and very carefully listen to your suggestions I must comment, because I will not tolerate so active advertisement of other products here and instructions what we must do. I don’t like unfounded statements like the one you did saying that our judgments are ...

Andrew Kirillov

Yes it will be supported in MultiCharts 7. The stop limit orders are done. BTW it is available in the released pre-alpha.

Andrew Kirillov

As far as I can see there are no attach, detach, reattach isons in the top right corner of the DOM. There will be no attach command for the DOM window since it doesn't behave as other windows. It can't be maximized, stretched and so on. The DOM window is always floating. It will have a feature to k...

Andrew Kirillov

... just got my breath back :) Regarding the DOM, as far as I can see in the images, it is detachable, right? Yes. Now, imagine that we have 6 charts in a workspace and we want to have a DOM for each chart. Several of those charts are detached. One cool thing would be to have a way to attach each D...

Hi Guys, Dennis is going to post some screenshots of MultiCharts pre-alpha tomorrow at our blog.

Andrew Kirillov

Andrew Kirillov

Thanks Janus. We do have a significant resources and MC 7 will demonstrate it. Stay with us.

Andrew Kirillov

Andrew Kirillov

OPP is a logical step and we support this idea. It will take time before it gives a value to end users since it is necessary to write new indicators and strategies.

Andrew Kirillov

Guys, Thanks for the support. It is hard to make emotion-free statements, but I will try to do. 1. Regarding copying, imitating and “stealing”. We do respect TRAD and EasyLangauge.

Andrew Kirillov

Thierry, 1. Since Wouter is one of TRAD people now it is his duty to advocate TS. However it is a fact that his own tool/DLL that never being designed with multi-threading in mind works several times faster on MultiCharts. It is an achievement of our vision and engineers. We were first introduced se...

Andrew Kirillov

Hi Guys,
Strategy Trader and MultiCharts are different products and will have different manual order capabilities. So please don’t send ST comments to us. It is better to send them to FXCM.
We are completing MC 6 and anticipating manual trading features this September-October.

Andrew Kirillov

Super, Thank you for the report. Although you sent a lot of logs they don’t contain Trading Server log folder. It is not possible to say that happened without it. Our assumption looks as following: 1. You sent a market order. 2. We haven’t got an execution status from IB for 30 seconds. 3. We sent a...

Andrew Kirillov

Flipflopper (aka as AG), The yesterday issue on helpdesk was irrelevant to what you described today. It was a crash that occurred on beta which has been quickly fixed by our team. You said it is “beyond beta”. You misinform people. The problem is that you don’t try to understand nature of a problem ...

It is not true, because you can see it from messages that popup or in the tracker. If you want to have a function that returns true or false it will not change any...

Andrew Kirillov

Thank you. We are still in decision making process. We must consider a lot of factors.

Andrew Kirillov

Flipflopper you are rude and non-constructive. The next time such unfounded statements will be deleted, just because it is not true. The screenshot doesn’t show anything except that the customer lost connection for minutes. You should blame your setup, not MultiCharts. The orders could be rejected, ...

Andrew Kirillov

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your kind advice.

It seems the contract is set up correctly, I use the same settings for the same instrument for another data feed.

I took two screenshots if you want to have a look.

Many thanks,

It is a MB Trading issue. Please see attached. It looks like they have spikes.

Andrew Kirillov

Do you compile 3600 studies?
Regarding the data loading issues. Could you give me your workspace please?

Andrew Kirillov

Thank you. The new beta 4 is coming in a week or so. It will have some more fixes. After that we are releasing MC6.

Andrew Kirillov

We will start to work on DOM after MultiCharts 6 release.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Mike,
We failed to reproduce the issue. Could you illustrate all steps we must take to reproduce the issue?

Andrew Kirillov

Brendan,
We don't factor entries that have been made before AT initialization in 'Exit from Entry' statement.
We will improve it soon. A possible walk around is avoid the 'Exit from Entry' statement.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Bob,
Of course you are not wasting your time. We do read it the forum. We analyze the most critical issues. We simply don't comment as often as we want. We will fix this issue very soon. Thank you for understanding.

Andrew Kirillov

This is a confirmed bug. We will fix it in MC6. Thank you!

Andrew Kirillov

We will definitely do but it will have a few changes compared to Beta 2.

Andrew Kirillov

Thanks Guys! I'm doing fine. I wasn't on the forum the last months and I missed it. I did some things that will allow me to spend more time here and interact with you. It is very productive.

I respectfully disagree. You want to have a documentation that addresses all possible questions. It is not achievable.

Steven,
Please be realistic and don't trade with MC 6 beta. It has a lot of exciting feature, but it should be debugged first!

Andrew Kirillov

John, Yes it can. We haven’t tested it on 100 charts, but it works fine for reasonable number of charts. You assumptions are correct; we had to delay since we added some features we didn’t intend to include originally. Plus some bug fixing took longer than expected. The release will be done this week.

Andrew Kirillov

We've improved IB Advisor account handling in MultiCharts. The program can handle different scenarios now.

It will be available in MultiCharts 6 beta. If you want to use it with MultiCharts 5.5 please use the attached DLL.

Our assumption is that this error is rare since IB is quote robust, but sometimes it happens. It is possible it returns us that the order is canceled, but ac...

From my knowledge about current Mutlicharts bugs, situation described be geektrader CAN happen. Every time, when one of the open orders is modified (partially filled, filled, cancel, priced of the order changes) Multicharts will cancel all other orders (and resubmit them, what is completely wrong; ...

That is to bad that they don´t take such a serious bug seriously. Gonna have to look for another trading-software if nothings changes soon... Geektrader, The statement “That is to bad that they don´t take such a serious bug seriously.” looks at least strange considering the fact that on Mon Aug 03,...

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sirs,

You could come to our HelpDesk to get advisor accounts set properly.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sir,

klick Ok / check list -> no new entry.

Just sort the list of exchanges by "Abbr" (just click on the header) and you will be able to find it easily.

I just added it without any problems.

Let me know.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sir,

You should add exchanges in QuoteManager > Tools > Exchanges.

We've sent you the detailed instruction via email.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear sirs,
I completly agree with it. We will do it very soon.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sir,

Manual contract renaming is the only workaround available at the moment.

We are going to add Continious Futures for IB in 6.0 version.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sir,

At the moment this is not possible.

Andrew Kirillov

Andrew Kirillov

John, It would be even better if TSS would fix that problem where it keeps redrawing the Text or Line or Arrow on every new tick until the bar is finished You may try to have code working with drawings when bar status = closed: if barstatus=2 then begin //... Your work whith drawing (creating, chang...

Andrew Kirillov

Dear TraderJ,

Please, use "Replace To Market Partially Filled Orders" option.

You may find it on AutoTrading tab.

Andrew Kirillov

We confirm this defect. It will be fixed in nearest future.

Andrew Kirillov

Dug,

We will implement this feature next several months.

Andrew Kirillov

Does it work the way you want in build 2723?

Andrew Kirillov

MC_Prog,

This behaviour is improved since build 2723.

Andrew Kirillov

flipflopper,

You are welcome.

Andrew Kirillov

Show me a recent screenshot, please.

Andrew Kirillov

TJ,

Looks like there is no way. The only thing is that for intraday resolutions you may compare ComputerDateTime and the time of current bar. It should not be more that the current resolution step in case the chart is displayed in Local time.

Andrew Kirillov

grinmoure,

Unfortunately, the text in this help topic is incorrect.

Andrew Kirillov

aljafp, So Andrew can you confirm, the procedure is to 1. download official 5.5 from the website 2. install 5.5 3. overwrite the official 5.5 Multicharts.exe with the one in the patch Yes you are correct. So will all subsequent bug fixes for version 5.5 be fix via patches ? I guess the more impt que...

Andrew Kirillov

Emmanuel,

it means that we have to review our configuration.

Did you managed to get it working? Let me know. If not - come to our HelpDesk please.

Andrew Kirillov

bannershi,

In this case you need to create a custom indicator. Deploy "Print" command.

This way you'll be able to collect data from all the symbols and all the studies you have in a Chart Window.

Note that you'll have to apply this indicator to all the symbols in this window.

Andrew Kirillov

piranhaxp,

Yes MultiCharts works via FIX.

$2,000 looks costly. Try another broker. As far as I remember GlobalFutures offered FIX for significant less price.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sirs,

This bug will be fixed in next version. No ETA yet.

Andrew Kirillov

bwb,

To investigate this issue we need this .xls file at least.

Zip & email me or upload to some file server and PM me the link.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear flipflopper,

Send us the .wsp file and Logs. We need to investigate this issue.

Andrew Kirillov

brendanh,

You should improve your script so it will consider the Sessions settings.

Andrew Kirillov

grinmoure,

Yes, this is the way it works now.

Probably we will add this functionality in future.

Andrew Kirillov

CrazyNasdaq,

We need your script to see what's the problem.

Email, PM me or post here.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear marekj,

We are going to implement this functionality in the nearest future.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sirs,

Current latest available build (5.5 build 2723) does not contain the patch.

Those who need the patch: use the file attached in this thread please.

The bug is fixed for the version 6.0. So there will be no need in patch. There is no ETA for 6.0 yet.

Andrew Kirillov

HeiBeh,

Come to our HelpDesk please.

Andrew Kirillov

Please copy that dll from previous release.

Andrew Kirillov

Statements like this

Time_s = 93821

should not work on 2-min charts.

Give more details on your issue.

Andrew Kirillov

Could you provide detailed information?

Andrew Kirillov

TJ,

We will consider it, but not in the nearest future.

Andrew Kirillov

Please come to our HelpDesk tomorrow.

Andrew Kirillov

They should be the exact same bars.

Compare precisely a dozen of latest bars, they will be slightly different.

Hence the difference in indicator.

Compare 405-min and 24300-sec - they should produce no difference.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear ppan,

Here is nothing wrong in your code and there is nothing wrong in MC (in this case).

I would suggest you to read MC help to get details on how backtesting works in MultiCharts and which assumptions model is used.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear MicroTrader,

Does it print anything? On which exactly step the exception appears?

Andrew Kirillov

Dear flipflopper, This is because datafeeds send slightly different data for Tick/Minutes comparing to Daily requests. As you understand we can do nothing with the way they construct the daily bars. You just need to use smaller resolution to construct daily bars. So this is not the MultiCharts bug. ...

Andrew Kirillov

Dear SP,

We didn't test MC with eSignal OnDemand. As far as I see the installer is the same for both RT version and OD version. So I'm not sure about blocked DataManager. You may give it a try.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear quark,

Please come to our HelpDesk.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear bannershi,

Yes it export only for one symbol at a time. What exactly is your problem?

Andrew Kirillov

konstantin, Please check built-in Absolute Breadth indicator in MultiCharts. Also we have a couple of breadth-related studies in the Knowledgebase. The McClellan Oscillator is a market breadth indicator that is based on the smoothed difference between the number of advancing and declining issues on ...

Andrew Kirillov

bwb,

What is the version/build you are using? There was such a bug in previous releases (in case you have IE8.0 on your PC). Now it is fixed. Please use the latest version available and let me know.

Andrew Kirillov

Bill Ng,

Please check .wsp file properties (via Windows Explorer or similar).

Probably it has "Read-only" property; uncheck it.

Andrew Kirillov

Dear Sirs, Many our users asked us to add the Advisor account support in MC and we added it. We developed it according to IB API and we have several dozens clients who have advisor accounts up and running. So I can confirm MC works with IB advisor accounts normally. Probably some of you have some sp...

Andrew Kirillov

Dear cyberdad, Is this normal? Is there another way to make multicharts use all cores at any time? TJ gave you the correct answer on MultiCharts. Tradesignal does use all 4 cores of my Quad Core for the same Strategy as in Multicharts and it is definetely calculating faster in Tradesignal. As far as...
