Re: Forex Position Management with Interactive Brokers

Sounds like you need to use the unmanaged orders from MC .NET, and if you want to (or need to) go that way, regular MultiCharts won't allow you to achieve your goal. That being said, I gladly let an official MultiCharts employee answer this topic so that I'm not misinforming you. :) Thanks JoshM Do...

Re: Not Backfilling with IB Connection

I decided to just try it all again, and now, for whatever reason, all is working fine. The data is correctly connecting and, when I pressed Ctrl + R, the data backfilled. At this point, I will just call it a glitch, but if anybody has any more insight on the matter that may have caused it to not wor...

Re: Not Backfilling with IB Connection

Thanks! I have gone through the TWS settings exactly as the wiki says. Here is a screenshot of the IB settings in the Data Feed Configuration. I had not known about that - but it appears that everything is up to speed. On another note, I unchecked the box that says "Don't request data for empty peri...

Re: Not Backfilling with IB Connection

Thanks for writing JoshM

Here is a screenshot of my Quote Manager

It looks like it is saying Not Connected (for the IB Data...don't know what the MCFX is and why it is requesting data for pairs I have not asked for...)

But, you can see that it is connected in the Trade Bar.

Re: MC.Net integration with TWS

I am attempting to try out the MC.Net integration and it is not connecting to TWS - which I understand that I should be able to use the charting feature, but if I want to trade with it then it is 39/month. But, when I attempt to connect, I am getting these two error messages shown in the screenshots...

MC.Net integration with TWS

The MC.Net integration with TWS appears to cost ~39/month.

If somebody has the lifetime license, is this still required?

Re: Best Forex Broker for MultiCharts... ?

Are you an expert trader of NT? Are you an automatic forex trader? If yes, can you share in some details your trading experience pertinent to this topic? Thank you in advance!

Re: Forex Position Management with Interactive Brokers

Thank you both for your answers. Josh, I don't that I quite made myself clear enough - which is unfortunate because you gave a wonderfully detailed answer. First of all, yes, scenario 2 is really simply an extension of scenario 1. But both scenarios could have far reaching consequences when attempti...

Re: Best Forex Broker for MultiCharts... ?

Yes, to be honest, I can see that being an issue What other platforms have you tested that do not have this issue? This is an area that NT has dialed in as they have in their software preprogrammed what to do in case of connection losses. In fact, if someone steps into deeper level of coding, they c...

Re: Best Forex Broker for MultiCharts... ?

Could I be mistaken? I am actually encouraged with the fact that Someone should restart their platform once per day with IB and that being the only problem - if someone even considers that to be a problem. No matter if it were required, I would probably do that anyway because of that nature of windo...

Hello I have a question about how EasyLanguage or .Net will handle the following scenario. I am trading a breakout FX strategy with Interactive Brokers.

Is it possible to write in the code that it will automatically offset them based on the strength? Tha...
