MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

To whom it may concern: I currently have DTN IQ Feed client version 6.1.0.20 installed on workstations as well as MultiCharts.NET 12.0.20094 & 14.0.19286 Beta. Both versions continually ask to install IQ Feed Client V5.1.1.1 even if the IQ feed is already connected. Please what can be done to correc...

Thank you for the quick reply. That did indeed solve the problem, and I was able to connect.

bryanzim

To whom it may concern:

I cannot connect to Interactive Brokers standalone either V976 or the latest Beta using the latest release of MultiCharts .NET, i.e. V12.0 Release 77 x64. The JAVA JRE on the system is V8 update 212. The OS is Windows Server 2019 Build 17763.593

Thanks,

Multicharts.NET is now the only product I have which requires .NET 3.5 to be installed. Are there plans to drop this 3.5 requirement going forward?

Sincerely,
Bryan Z

This is easily reproducible and goes along with the other issues which were produced via remote control. Any timeline for a response?

In order to try to speed up ASCII mapping, I reduced the mapped files to a single interval file of 5 minutes for a symbol. I have a 37MB file which when loaded into a chart of 5 minute interval takes about 30-40 seconds on a SSD drive(>550MB/s read speed). If I now change the chart interval from 5 m...

bryanzim

I am following up to see if MultiCharts was able to replicate the slow data loading in ASCII mapped files. If so, when an expected fix will take place.

bryanzim

For anyone having issues here are the exported VB.NET studies which fix compilation in VS2017 so you don't get hundreds of errors. I reimport these everytime there is a release.

bryanzim

This issue seems to still exist in the current version, or do I have to go through the pain of remapping all the ASCII files again?

bryanzim

The GMT ASCII data was mapped as GMT when doing the ASCII mapping. The displayed time zone of local time is correct as that is what I want to display not GMT time. This is not an antivirus issue. The drive is an SSD drive and I can parse the large files entirely with C++ code in about 5 seconds vers...

bryanzim

I do not share the opinion that this should be a feature request. It is invalid VB.NET code and should be fixed for future releases. The latest release overwrote the changes and will require manual reentry of all indicators, strategies, functions to get proper compilation.

bryanzim

The latest release resolved the issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling previous releases did not.

I keep getting the attached warning when launching Multicharts.Net with IB charts. Also the message pops up when trying to add a symbol through IB. IB is installed on the machine as a stand alone version, in fact there are a couple which are the latest beta and the stable, i.e. 963. Once the message...

Even though I am not currently using VB items in order to get them to compile properly in Visual Studio 2017 enterprise, I had to do the following: 1. add "Imports PowerLanguage.Indicator" to every indicator 2. add "Imports PowerLanguage.Strategy" to every strategy 3. add "Imports PowerLanguage.Func...

When I create a new chart for an ASCII mapped file, I have had issues with missing data which is either gaps in the chart for data that is in the file or chart not displaying latest data at the end of the file. I have attached a data source file, the new chart produced, the instrument settings scree...

When I map more than 2 ASCII files then resolution to file name mapping shows incorrect values. For example I have 3 files: Day - QCL#-Daily.txt 1 Minute - QCL#-I60.txt 5 Minute - QCL#-I300.txt all mapped to the symbol QCL# In the ASCII mapping window under Edit Symbol of Quote Manger the I300 file ...

Henry,

Thanks for letting me know about the poll. I have voted and now consider the topic closed.

To whom it may concern: I currently use Interactive Brokers as my broker and DTN IQFeed as my historical data provider. I would like to request that this combination be supported for simulated trading in playback more. I tried to report this under the PM section but could never get the confirm butto...

bryanzim

Henry,

Thank you for confirming the issue.

bryanzim

Henry,

I have tried mapping the ASCII file by clicking on it and still unsuccessful. Please find attached the tick file as well as a shot of the mapping and the error I receive.

Thanks

bryanzim

When trying to map tick data in the ASCII mapping, I get an error to pick resolution size even though the resolution is n/a. Attached is a screenshot of the mapping and error.

Thanks

bryanzim

Hello bryanzim,

Please find the code fixed by our developer attached.

Henry,

Thank your developer for the corrected code. It now works as expected.

Bryan

bryanzim

Here is the indicator changed as requested as well as the error produced if the file is not closed after each access.

Thanks

bryanzim

No sir. This was a single study on a single chart.

bryanzim

I am having this problem just by applying indicator to chart and haven't tried optimization process.

bryanzim

I was able to get the data to export but ran into a peculiar problem. If I wrote the code in CalcBar() as follows if (OutputTextFile != null) { StreamWriter swFile = new StreamWriter(OutputTextFile, true); swFile.WriteLine(m_swingtime[1] + "," + m_swingprice[1]); swFile.Close(); } It would work. But...

bryanzim

Henry,

Thank you for the clarification that only plots get exported, I will create a new indicator based off of ZigZag and use the File class capability.

bryanzim

The attached workspace file contains the YM# chart with two indicators, the moveing average 1 and the zigzag_pnts. I also included what is exported by turning each indicator on.

I am using Multicharts.NET 64 V8.5.6862

Thanks

bryanzim

Dear Henry, The indicator was added to the chart and showed the appropriate lines indicating it was functioning. I also had the "Export values for indicators based on symbol" checked. However all the was exported in the CSV file was the instrument data, i.e. Date, Time, High, Low, Close, Volume but ...

bryanzim

I would like to export the swing highs/lows of the ZigZag indicators. When I add it to the chart and say File->Export the indicator values are not exported with the Instrument data. Is there a way to export this indicator data, or does the indicator need to be modified to enable this function? Thanks

bryanzim

I was able to create a scale out strategy after discovering two important points. First, the stop and limit entries must be entered on each CalcBar and do not remain in effect. For example, void CalcBar() { m_SellStop.Send(m_StopPrice, (int) OpenContracts); m_SellLimits[targetx].Send(m_TargetPrices[...

bryanzim

Henry,

Thank you that was the information I was looking for.

Bryan Z

bryanzim

To whom it may concern: I have been trying to implement a scaling out strategy but have been unsuccessful. If I have the default number of contracts set to 2, I have tried the following two methods. The code is simplified to show only 1 side, and I have verified that the Stop and Limit prices are co...

bryanzim

To whom it may concern: Is there a way to access the contract info from within a strategy applied to a chart. For example the following information: 1. Tick size 2. Multiplier 3. Regular Trading hours 4. Extended Trading hours Our does this information need to be created as inputs to the strategy? T...

bryanzim

Henry, Thank you I did get it to work. However, the symbol mapping still requires manual editing even when the correct symbols are chosen during setup of the chart. For example when creating a chart with the following IQFeed - Historical - Symbol @ES# IB - Realtime - Symbol ESM3 the symbol mapping c...

bryanzim

To whom it may concern:

I would like to use IQFeed for historical back fill and IB(Iteractive Brokers) for realtime data and trading. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks for the help.
