Problem trading reliably with UserSpecified contract sizing [SOLVED]

TL,DR: In same market, multiple algorithms each with their own signal work fine. However, trying to combine multiple algorithms under one signal results in problems when try to close more than once without switching market direction. Pie in the sky hope I'm hoping to be able to simply specify my ma...

Re: DataLoader realtime tick delivery bug in 9.1 [SOLVED]

We've just updated from 9.0 to 9.1 r4, and found this behavior is still present WITHOUT changing the line of code. However, setting the InstrumentDataRequest's RequestStatusDetails property to false as you mentioned gives us exactly the (original) behavior we were looking for. Confirmed fixed! As a ...

Re: Coding question [SOLVED]

Unexpected results... :) I update the line so it has the same start and end points, and it works as you suggest -- apparently there is a default line slope of 0 if you give the same start and end point. In the end, the only issue was with your if condition check. Heh -- this is a face-palm moment, w...

Re: Coding question [SOLVED]

Hi, jojo. Is it possible that you are setting your starting and ending points to have exactly the same time AND exactly the same value? Thus, there is neither any change in time nor any change in value, so you really don't have a line, only a single point, and no line can be extended from it, becaus...

Restarting data source connection?

We are using TS as our primary data source, and we notice we have to be careful not to run into its throttling behavior -- we ask for too much historical data at once, and it kicks us out for the awhile, and then we can continue. Our issue is that MC seems to lose its ability to recover from this sc...

Re: Begin / End of Bar - Custom Bars

Perhaps my inexperienced answer is better than nothing :) : 1) I've always seen bars referenced by their ending time in MC, without exception. It'd be a pleasant surprise to find out there is another way to do it. 2a) I know of no way to emulate the BetterRenko or such -- there is a "standard" Renko...

Re: Testing algorithm correctness

Most of our code lives outside MultiCharts as a DLL -- this allows for unit testing specific scenarios. We have the ability to save and replay streams of ticks, which allows us to do regression tests -- we generate logs of events, such as when a position changes, what the price was, and what time th...

Hi, eyal. In the PowerLanguage.NET Editor, you can create studies using either the VB.Net or C# (pronounced C-sharp) languages. You select which you'd like to use when you create your study.

Hello jwebster503, There is no dedicated reserved word for getting the realtime tick’s time inside a bar.

When a chart is set to a resolution of 1 tick, I can access the tick timestamp with Bars.Time[0] (and probably Bars.TimeValue). However, when the resolution is not a tick, the current bar time is always the start of the bar. Said differently, if 10 ticks come in every 6 seconds during the 8:31am 1 m...
