MultiCharts64 for TWS Version 8.8 Release (Build 9247)
Latest version of downloadable TWS. 9443
Everything else up to date.

Please see attached pic of 1 minute MC chart of eurusd (lower chart), compared to TWS's own chart(upper chart, showing correct market prices). As you can see the most recent bars are similar, but the more you go back, the more MCs chart becomes detached from reality, e.g. MC chart shows lows way bel...

Hi
Is it possible, or is there any plans on making it possible, to use the Multicharts for TWS (i.e. the MC version that starts from within the TWS) together with IB gateway?
I am asking in order to find a way to avoid the daily re-initialization that is necessary with TWS.
Thanks!
Andy

Hi I work fulltime backtesting signals on 10 year tickdata. The CSV price data files are 5 GB size. Typical signal code is 300 lines. Each backtest takes 3-10 minutes. (depending on number of loops in code) My question is primarily what hardware to buy to speed things up, and if the bottleneck is in...

Great! Turns out everything works the way I would like it to.
Thank you for your excellent (as always!) help and patience Andrew!

I have the below questions to clear the last doubts on how to run 2 different signals on the same instrument. The below example and questions, are all for ONE instrument and ONE account. Account has no positions or open orders when signals are initialized. Using SA (sync. mode). Scenario 1 (only one...

Andrew.
I have read about most of the above, but had not gotten a full grasp.
Your post above explained it all, in a short and concise manner, yet giving a complete overview.
THANK YOU!

Thanks Andrew. If I write "if marketposition=0", am I right in assuming that this only checks whether the position on the particular chart is zero. ? I.e. if there is a missmatch between position on chart and position with broker, in this case the "marketposition" represents the strategy's position,...

I wonder how others have approached the order handling of your signals? Especially if multiple signals on same instrument. I paste my code below, and if others could do the same, it would be very much appreciated! Any general comments on order handling issues you've ran into, or general order handli...

Thanks for your reply TJ What I'm looking for is to make the indicator draw lines from different points on different bars. E.g. draw a line from the high of bar [0] to the high of bar [5]. Another need is to make the indicator draw a "point" or "dot" at a particular price on a particular bar. E.g. d...

Hi I assume this is really simple, but I cannot find any instruction on how to do this. I am programing an indicator and I want it to plot lines between point A and point B, but I am not able to find an instruction on how to do this. Could anyone tell me where I can find a tutorial or a any type of ...

Sorry, just realized your indicator is posted under the .NET thread, and I'm using the basic (non- .NET) version...

Should anyone have Powerlanguage code for ATR, then please share.

Thanks
Andy

Hi tradetree
I cannot open the file no matter how I try. Most likely due to my own ignorance and incompetence in how to import stuff into Powerlanguage Editor...

Could I ask you to please post the code as plain text so that I can just copy-paste it?

Thank you for sharing!
All the best
Andy

Thank you for your inputs guys! I am aware that the prices will differ between brokers, and also depend on which deal the individual client has with the broker, but I was still surprised that the differene was so great even when comparing Dukas (supposedly ECN) and IQ Feeds ABBA feed (supposedly the...

Instrument: eurusd spot. Tick data used to create hourly bars. All variables in signal uses "intrabar persist". [IntrabarOrderGeneration = True]; When signal is applied to Dukas Copy bid tickdata over let's say 100 trades, WITH bar magnifier it looses money. When signal is applied to same data, WITH...

I tried IQ feed, and my backtesting results were completely inackurate. I backtest eurusd with barmagnifier plus all the boxes ticked to make it as detailed as possible. I compared the results to those with the historical tickdata of the BID price I downloaded from Dukas Copy. The 2 were completely ...

Thank you for your reply Andrew.
I'm using MC with IB feed (the default settings that MC came with). Do you know which FX price (bid?/ask?/mid?) is then fed into MC from IB?, or how can I find out?
Thank you
Carl

Great. That solved it. Thanks Andrew!

Which price defines the Close, High and Low prices when running a signal on MC using Interactive Brokers for trading FX (IdealPro) Is it the Inside Ask, Inside Bid, Mid-Price between the two, or Traded price? In case the question is unclear, what I am asking is if I for example have a script to buy ...

Hi TJ, thanks for your reply. I played around with it a bit more, and had some progress, but one question remains. I paste 3 lines of my input data here: 20131120 00:00:00:216,1.3564 20131120 00:00:00:670,1.35634 20131120 00:00:00:872,1.35635 So the format is Date, time, and bid price. The problem i...

I downloaded historical tick data from Dukas Copy using a handy tool called Tick Data Downloader which gave me a CSV file. The problem I have is when trying to import the CVS file in Quote Manager. All the fields circled in red in the attached picture are greyed out and not possible to edit. Any clu...

Smoky.
Thank you soo much! IntrabarPersist did indeed solve all my problems.
Have an awesome day!
Andy

I should add that the problem occurs when Intrabar Order Generation is true.

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = True];

Thank you for your reply and your time TJ. There is a serious problem here. I have written an even more simple script to visualize below, and below it I also paste the content from the Output tab from the Powerlanguage Editor. The intention is for station 0 to only run once, and then for station 1 t...

I am trying to program a signal and in the code I want the logic to go between different "stations" for processing. (Sort of like a product travels between different machines for different kinds of processing in a workshop). I have written a simple verison below, where processing starts at station 1...
