The "Build trade-tick from bid and ask" option will not result in the bid-ask midpoint. It just does what it says. Not sure why it is beeing suggested as solution. I cant be done except for custom-painting a chart, and this wouldnt work with backfilled data anyways. I made a feature-request for a m...

Revisiting this issue as I could never get it to work but am looking to use multicharts again if I can sort this out. So I have the very latest multicharts.net installed and I have followed your instructions and enabled “Build trade ticks from ask ticks and bid ticks” option. I have restarted my com...

Please go to File->New->QuoteManager->Tools->DataSources->LMAX->Settings->enable “Build trade ticks from ask ticks and bid ticks” option. You need to restart MultiCharts and all of its processes in order to make the option come into effect. If you want your historical data to be built this way- you...

Cheers mate.

So you say it is possible to plot the chart based on mid point of ask and bid with LMAX. How do I do this? I only see options for ask, bid or trade.

Ok, thanks for the answers So now I have done some trading on multicharts I have some more questions. Firstly, when I am using chart trading and enter a 2nd position in the same instrument my positions are automatically combined and represented as one position and the stop losses are also combined. ...

Also, with chart trading on is there a way to get the little box to the left of the line showing profit and close trade/reverse trade icons to not be displayed? I just want the line and maybe to be able to right click the line and hit close or something to close the position. Please uncheck "Show O...

In the Format Window (double-click on the chart) you can display empty periods

Cheers mate, thats great

Also, I trade forex via LMAX and they reset the servers at 5pm NY time for 5 minutes everyday (not trading from 5pm to 5.05pm). It seems multicharts does n...

Hello I want to be able to draw trend lines and the like on 1 chart and have them appear on a different chart. Like a linked chart but I only want some of the lines to appear on the other charts. So say I have a 1h, 1m, 5m and 15m chart open of the same instrument I want to be to draw a line so that...

Hello, thanks for the reply. Concerning the average between the bid and the ask question the studies you directed me to are not what I want. I want the actual chart to be plotted using the average instead of the ask, bid or trade. How can this be done? I have an EA for mt4 that will do this but beca...

Hi How can I display the average between the bid and ask instead of the ask. Also, why are there gaps all over my candlestick charts even in the 5m and 1m timeframes? The open and close of a candle based on time is the exact same moment so they shouldn't vary and the gaps make the chart a lot harder...
