Josh M, thanks for this awesome tool. Any idea when the Downloader.exe will updated to fix this? Problem for identification of hour in: <td class="calendar__cell calendar__time time">1:30am</td> Obviously FF has changed their time format.. I hope that's all anyway, I would pay to have this tool up a...

There is no need to copy to clipboard for this, write the information straight to a CSV and have your excel to refresh periodically EL Collections is what you need Download and install the .dll and read the word file, takes some learning but worth it If you get stuck can help you http://www.multicha...

Yes there is, you can customize your holiday list and choose whether to exclude holiday data or not

There is no way to customize the x-axis label of the crosshair pointer as far as I know quick indicator for you.. first click of the mouse plots the day of the week for the bar in the middle of the screen, second click makes it disappear.. next click shows day of week again.. next click disappear et...

If you have some groundbreaking proprietary strategy that you're just itching to get off your chest you could just PM it to me

OZ Trade

Read the attached and have a try.

But you basically got it. Try putting 'Value1=' in front when storing a variable.

OZ Trade

The StandardDev function does not like the value of Log( OpenD(0) / dayClose[1]) BL_CO_VOL = var0 * StandardDev( Log( OpenD(0) / dayClose[1] ), NumDays, 1 ) ; Put a double forward slash // in front of BL_CO_VOL and using the last bar on the chart as an example investigate these in the output window:...

You can achieve what you want if your only focus is on 'price action in space' and the actual values on the X-axis don't matter to your studies/signals you want to backtest. Use your other application to generate a list of dummy dates in the correct order and then populate the list with your OHCL an...

OZ Trade

Corrections to the declaration of Input and Variable code and changing 'BL_CO_VOL' to Value1 allowed me to compile the study Inputs: NumDays(0); Vars: var0(SquareRoot( 260 )) , j(0); Array: dayClose[30](0), dayOpen[30](0); for j=0 to NumDays-1 begin dayClose[j] = closeD(j); dayOpen[j] = OpenD(j); en...

First let me say this is excellent software and getting better all the time.. keep up the good work Second can I suggest adding a "120 Minute" option to the "Minute" drop-down list of the "Resolution" tool bar.. It would be handy if it was there.. but not worthy of a full blown feature request Thanks

OZ Trade

I would recommend ELCollections in combination Recalclastbarafter..

64 bit version is available here:

OZ Trade

Thanks,

Its works in stopping the calculation but the study remain 'on' in the status line.. Was looking for the same effect as abort where the study becomes toggled off..

Its no big deal anyway

OZ Trade

And it would be great if the proposed SessionClose for intraday futures charts actually returned the settled daily closing price for past session which have completed.. Provided that it's the same symbol in QuoteManager and the daily data is up to date for that symbol.. could it be possible? Current...

OZ Trade

Hi all, Wondering if there is a way to abort a study without the run-time error. Basically I want my study to run once then toggle off without the annoying pop-up and sound. I am aware of the abort keyword (execution control) and have investigated command-line also but can't find a solution. Thanks,

OZ Trade

I'll vote for any additional keywords that add more functionality to 'session' coding.. I use it a lot in my work

When counter=9 you are on the ninth trading day of the month with either intraday or daily bars using the following: Var: Counter (0); If bartype=1 then begin If month(date) <> month(date) [1] then Counter= 1; If sessionlastbar then Counter= Counter +1; End; If bartype=2 then begin If month(date) <>...

OZ Trade

Correction.. previous only works well for intraday..

Concept for daily bars:

Code: Select all




Var: Counter (0);



If month(date) <> month(date) [1] then Counter= 0;



If date <> date [1] then counter= counter +1;

OZ Trade

Rough concept: Var: Counter (0); If month(date) <> month(date) [1] then Counter= 1; If sessionlastbar then Counter= Counter +1; If Counter= 9 then begin ............ ............ ............ End; Should work for intraday and daily bar charts.. Sessions need to be configured correctly in QuoteManage...

OZ Trade

Can also plot in reverse from LastBarOnChart and break loop when a condition is encountered.. no computer date/time needed Rough concept: Vars: LoopVar (0); Inputs: Period (1); If Period= 1 then condition1= sessionlastbar else if Period= 2 then condition1= DayOfWeek(Date) < DayOfWeek(Date) [1] else ...

Thanks for your attention Andrew..

Un-install and re-install with latest version has corrected the issue

MultiCharts64 Version 8.8 Release (Build 8593)

I did the process twice with no change.. I now see there is a new version out as of Monday the 24th.. I will update and get back to you..

OZ Trade

Hi.. thanks

Session Breaks are overprinting my candles unless the symbol is brought to the front of the visual order list..

OZ Trade

That does the trick

I guess I overlooked the 60 minute option down there at the bottom of the list, or assumed 60 min = 1 hour

It does give the representation I need when used with the standard NY RTH session template so thanks to you both

Hi there, Is it possible to set hourly candles to commence on the half hour and complete on the half hour This is how I want the New York Regular Trading Hours to be represented in hourly bars for example 1st bar: 09:30 --> 10:30 2nd bar: 10:30 --> 11:30 3rd bar 11:30 --> 12:30 4th bar: 12:30 --> 13...

Hi there, Is it possible to snap drawing tools onto any member of the visual order list or only the very back member of the list? I have an issue with session breaks, I need them to appear behind the candles visually and to not overprint them, the only way to achieve this is to put the symbol in the...

OZ Trade

Yes even if you could see the max bars or "lastbarnumber" from any previous bar it would open up a lot of possibilities.. then you should be able to reference values for the last bar from any other bar.. Anyway it seems there is no way to do it at this stage, so I will continue to use the 3rd party ...

OK Solved..

Just need to calculate on last bar only..

Thanks

OZ Trade

Thanks for the reply.. Sorry to give that impression, I am already well beyond the beginner level with programming in TS and MC It looks like a I caused some confusion by using the word "array".. forget I mentioned that word at all.

Hi, I know Multicharts can simply recognize the lastcalcdate and lastcalctime from any previous bar on a chart.. but is there a way to simply recognize the last value (value at last bar) of some data array from any previous bar, whether it be a bar value (OHLCV) or the value of a function.

Thats correct.. I don't have a data feed with IB as I already have a professional data feed through IQFeed..

OZ Trade

ok, thanks for your attention to this

I will have to code exceptions for the half days into my indicators instead..

Perhaps you could add some functionality to fix this in the future, I'm sure there are many MC users who trade using US RTH charts and are seeing the same issue.

OZ Trade

Thanks, I do already understand and know how to use those features.. they works fine if the same cycle is repeating every week.. e.g. if Friday of every week was a half day. but these half trading days only occur 3 times per year.. they are not repeating weekly For NYSE 2013: -Each market will close...
