I've got something in mind that I'm going to try to implement.. will share with the community if it looks promising

Forgot to mention that I would like to be able to use the same code in real-time trading as well as backtesting, if possible. Thanks.

Hi All, First, I'd like to say that now that I've been using MultiCharts.NET for a few months, it's really an impressive effort. I hope that the documentation continues to improve- definitely building up a good knowledge base here in addition to the programming guide. I have a question on position s...

Looks like a _ton_ of meaningful bug fixes. I'm excited to try it out.

Hi, I've been using MultiCharts for a few months now, and have an issue that I have encountered in 8.7, 8.8 Beta 1, and 8.8 Beta 2. This has occurred on two different computers- one an 8-core Xeon with 36gb of RAM, and the other a 16-core Xeon with 128gb of RAM. I am using about 5 years of minute da...

Hi,

I just saw that this is still an issue in the latest beta (8.8 r2).

Would it be possible to add a reset button within the PL.NET editor to do this if the problem is not going to be fixed? Thank you.

This may be possible with the Scanner, but I haven't tamed it yet. This is starting to become my default answer on such matters, but it's certainly possible if you used an external datasource, like a local MySQL database. How easy it will be to accomplish depends on your coding ability and requireme...

Specifically, what visual parameters are you trying to apply to the chart? Can you post any sample code on the indicator?

To further clarify, that's just printing out the price from 2 days ago in output. If you want to use the lagged price, set a variable = closeprices[(closeprices.Count-3)]. Sample output using the code that I posted is as follows: note: format is date/time, day's close, (newline) 2 day ago's close. 9...

Here, I've done it with ArrayList and printing the close price from 2 days ago in the Output window of the PL.NET editor- using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using PowerLanguage.Function; using ATCenterProxy.interop; namespace PowerLanguage.Strategy { pub...

Bars.TimeValue gives you what you need. Example: you can set this for hours, minutes, date, etc.

edit- sorry, I seem to have wandered over from the MC.NET forum. This is the C# answer.

ASCII mapping of minute data seems much improved, but to me, QuoteManager is still the weakest link of the whole package. I find that when I run a portfolio backtest on symbols that are mapped using ASCII mapping that there's very little visibility about what's going on behind the scenes- you just w...

I've had a lot of success using MySQL for external data sources (including time series). Even with minute bar data, there are some tricks to making it work quickly, but it's quite doable.

If I'm understanding the code correctly, the first few lines of CalcBar() determine whether the data is daily or intraday, and when to update m_yestclose.Value- EResolution resolution = Bars.Info.Resolution.Type; if (resolution == EResolution.Quarter || EResolution.Week <= resolution && resolution <...

Thanks, Henry, that seems to answer it.

Hi, From what I've read, in MultiCharts (but not MC.NET) there's a BarsSinceExit() function that will return the number of bars since exiting the previous position. Is there something similar in MC.NET that can be used in strategy & portfolio backtesting? I have tried to find a way to identify the b...
