MultiСharts team,

Carry on and release a better, simpler C# API please! Otherwise, it is difficult to compete with others that also offers C# API.

Thanks.

Found it, PowerLanguage.Function.XAverage, but I have a few questions 1) Is it always a 3 step process to simply make a function call? a) Create function object in Create() b) Set function params in StartCalc() c) Use function return values in CalcBar()? 2) If I need to calculate EMA of a few differ...

I can't seem to find one under PublicFunctions, can someone shed some light?

Thanks.

After I opened up Visual Studio, all the docking windows (e.g. error list, navigator, help, etc.) are gone, and when I try to re-open them under View inside PowerLanguage .NET editor, they just open up as normal window and cannot be docked within the main editor window. I even tried to uninstall the...

Thank you for the reply. I am not an expert C# developer but an average one. I have to admit that the C# classes are somewhat more complicated than it needs to be, primarily because (I think) it needs to mimic Easy Language and attempts to provide a wrapper classes/interfaces on top of it, as oppose...

Can you do out params for a MultiCharts.Net function? I mean like ByRef parameters in EasyLanguage?

Other than the programming guide, is there other beginner tutorial on MultiCharts.Net?

Thank you very much!

It seems there is an asymmetry between these two, in that EntryPrice[0] is the entry price for the last position, but ExitPrice[1] is the exit price for the last position, and there is no such thing as ExitPrice[0]? Seems to also apply to others like ExitDate, ExitTime, etc. Why this asymmetry? Than...

So that is why it will not conflict with the order sending client ID connection of MultiCharts? How random will the client ID be? Reason I am asking is, I have other trading apps also connecting to IB TWS, and using other statically chosen client IDs (of course different from the order sending clien...

I am positive that I saw a "show historical order" option somewhere, but can't remember where.

What does that historical price option do?

I guess another alternative would be to manually draw the arrows and the "entryprice" using bar open/close when the real entryprice turns 0 in sync mode?

Actually, is there a reason for this design?

Thanks!

I am using Sync auto trading.

It seems historical entry price is only available in Async auto trading?

Thanks for the reply.

What is the client ID used by Quote Manager when connecting to IB TWS?

There is no option to set client ID inside Quote Manager.

In broker profile, I can select my client ID.

Thanks.

Hi, I noticed there is only one IB setting within QuoteManager, but I can have multiple settings in ChartTrader, when connecting to Interactive Brokers. Is real time data sourced only from the QuoteManager IB setting? Or is it sourced from the IB connection connected within the chart? Thanks for you...

Hi,

I have a strategy that manually draws arrows and entry price on historical bars. Entry prices are showing fine when auto trading is turned off, once auto trading is turned on, all historical entry/exit prices becomes 0, i.e. EntryPrice becomes 0

Why would that be so?

Thank you for any advice!

you mean multicharts will implicitly keep or cancel such stop order?

Say current market price is 1000, and I sent a "buy next bar stop 1100" and if it happens that the market never reaches 1100 in the next bar then what happens to my stop order? cancelled at the end of bar? or still remain live on IB? If still remain live, then how do I modify it from Easy Language s...

Hi, I noticed that when a strategy is running real time, entry/exit price will be automatically plotted on the chart. However, for historical prices during backtesting, only a tick is drawn on the chart at the entry/exit price, with no price printed. If I want entry/exit price on historical prices, ...

Hi, I am trying to implement a dynamic stop order, i.e. the stop price will be recalculated on every bar, and is not a fixed points away or a fixed percentage, hence cannot be a simple trailing stop. I see two logical approaches, with MultiCharts connecting to IB TWS, and am wondering which is possi...

Now the market is closed with no more live ticks, values do match between indicator and my function call inside strategy...

Need to try again Monday.

Hi, I am new to EasyLanguage on MultiCharts. Because I cannot use the indicator output directly inside a strategy, I called RSI function in my strategy, then add RSI indicator to the same data series, then when I cross check the RSI values in the indicator data box vs. print statements (output from ...

Thank you so much for the reply! Can you give me some common scenarios that might make use of this session end marker? One I can think of is, typically day trading positions might be closed at the end of the T sessions, so in that case, should I check the last session of T and not T+1? Sorry to soun...

I guess my question is, is there something in MultiCharts like close all position X seconds before session end, or anything that is going to use this session end marker. If this session end marker is purely a check mark not used by anything at all, then why is it even there? e.g. NT does use it to d...

Hi,

What is the significance of session end?

If there is one morning session (trade day T), one afternoon session (trade day T), and one evening session (trade day T+1).

Which one should have session end checked?

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply.

So if I have my order instruction as "buy this bar close", then it will still buy at bar close?

When I have Intra-Bar Order Generation = on, does it matter any more whether my order instruction is

1) buy on this bar close
2) buy on next bar market

Does my order instruction need to be "on this bar close" for intra bar order generation to take effect?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

When my strategy is running and orders being created by the strategy, order entry/exit price are not shown on the chart by default. However, when I open the chart trading panel, the order entry/exit prices suddenly all appear.

Is this a known behavior?

Thanks.

Thank you very much. The historical download was already checked. It seems this might be a bug in earlier versions of 8.7, after updating to latest build of 8.7, this problem goes away!

Thanks again!

I did have begin-end block as per your suggestion, my mistake in the original posting. It is still printing entry price multiple times, maybe it is because the strategy has max 1 position, and that's why the cross over condition is actually satisfied multiple times, but still only 1 entry always? An...

Hi, I am new to EasyLanguage, I have some logic that determines when to long (as below), and would like to also place the entry price at that bar (since order label cannot be dynamic). However, the text is placed on every bar after the condition is true, which makes me really puzzled Order is not en...

Hi, I have IB TWS started AFTER Hong Kong futures market open, and I have both MultiCharts and NT started, AFTER TWS is started. NT can retrieve 1min historical since market open, but MultiCharts can only retrieve 1min data from the point I opened up MultiCharts. Is there any setting/config that nee...

Hi, I am new to MultiCharts, have read from the documentation that order objects must be created in Create() so after order = SOrderParameters(Contracts lots, string name, EOrderAction action); If I want to change the label/name, how do I do that? e.g. attaching the actual price level for the order....
