MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hello, I want to make use of the built-in function: Volume to do analysis on intraday volume. The problem comes as I run it on current session. There is a discrepancy between values of the chart and output of the powerlangauge editor. Here is the example at 1515 on 17/5/2017 the volume was 3,318 as ...

Mazinguer, I put entries and exits in different signals. As you can see on the picture above, the 'DayTightRange_EC' and 'CL75BoxV2.2_EC' are the entry signals and the 'ExitControl_SwitchCase' is the exit signal which is the heart of risk control to give exit instructions to both entry signals. In t...

Mazinguer, thank you for your detailed and clear explanation. I have checked again if the the problem is to do with variables. I printed out every single variable (which was related to the exit orders) when the conditions were met. The entry name and exit price were right. And I do not have a clue w...

HJ, I just updated the code. Please advise where the problem is. Thanks

I have 2 SELL entries which have separate exits. I use PRINT to make sure that all conditions are met. And the PRINT statements are shown in the output as per the conditions. However both BUYTOCOVER orders are not executed when stop prices (where the orange lines are) are met. I do not know what has...

On last Friday Hong Kong time, I had two strategies on a same workspace, they were strategies A and B. The entry order of strategy A was completed at 9:47:17 AM and the entry order of strategy B was completed at 10:18:48 AM. Strategy A has an end of day exit when time is >= 2344 and Strategy B has a...

JoshM, it's stop order I want, not stop limit order. Thanks for your help anyway.

I have emailed the all the details to Henry to have a look. Hopefully, Henry will give me positive feedback.

Best regards!

I created a function: DrawDown which is based on the keyword "OpenEntryMinProfit". Below is what I have written: Variables: var0( 0 ); var0 = absvalue(OpenEntryMinProfit(0)*0.02); If Date[0] <> Date[1] or marketposition = 0 then var0 = 0; If BarsSinceEntry = 19 then DrawDown = var0; Then, I created ...

I have a strategy(let's say strategy A) in which there are about 50 lines of coding I want to reuse them again in other strategies. So I created few custom functions based on these lines and used these newly created functions instead of the 50 lines of coding in strategy B(everything remains the sam...

Hello Henry, is there anything to do with intrabarordergeneration?

Spikehog

Henry, Thanks for the reply. I have done it according to your suggestion. However, the same entries came out again when I did the backtest. Is it something to do with coding or backtesting?

I want to add more contracts when the direction is favorable to me. Here is my logic: after a first buy entry is completed, a second buy entry will be added at stop price(entryprice + 65 pips), a third buy entry will be added at stop price(entryprice + 130 pips) and a fourth buy entry will be added ...

Regarding the "NumbericRank" function, it returns the rank of a specified price in a sorted price series. To my understanding, it basically looks for the location (rank) of the value PriceToRank in the list. Correct me if I am wrong: it can return any number between 0 to 9 if the number of bars to c...

Done. I unclick the "Update on every tick" under the Advanced section of Properties in the Format Study window. And I used to "mod" reserved word which saved o lot of rows and kept the codings nice & tidy. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello there, I want to print out the variables on every five minutes in the output of powerlanguage editor. However, the codes I have written below do more than I need i.e. it keeps printing out the same variables as new ticks come in. Can you please have a look what went wrong? Thanks Inputs: H1(0)...

I am sorry. I didn't make myself clear. Those values on y-axis were calculated based on Data1 and Data2. And Data1 and Data2 were on two different time resolution i.e. 1 min for Data1 and 1 hr Data2. What I observed was that the values based on Data2 were updated every hour, even though I printed ou...

Hello there, those values on the y-axis keep changing when the market is opened. I was wondering how I can recall those variables at any moment before its bars closed. For example, those values are circled in orange on the y-axis as per the screenshot, is it possible to get those values before each ...

Without seeing your code, it's hard to tell exactly what's going wrong. If you want to post the code (while removing any proprietary secrets), that would help in troubleshooting this. As an aside, I have never really trusted the "crosses below" command. What I do, instead, is see whether the previo...

And this is the error message I got when I tested it.

Hi there, its just a quick question. The email alert is not working under the current version 8.8, isnt it? No matter is gmail, hotmail or whatsoever I am using, am I right?
