hello, you still have the TD counter setup for the 9-13 count indicator?

Thanks Henry for the file to install that fixed the problem

When I open my desktop with offline data, I get charts quite quickly with data untill today. When I close and open the desktop again with online data and filling missing data, it takes much more time. The charts are freezing waiting to get backfilled. After shutting down, the TSserver (91 MB) and Tr...

Thanks for your full answer. I shut down MC and reboot once a week. If this is not often enough, how comes that MC doesn' t shut down properly after one week. "...before you shut down your computer or restart MultiCharts, make sure all the MultiCharts processes are completed." >> ok, but what can I ...

After closing my desktop in MC and exit, I saw sometimes a small window processing something in the database. Now it isn't anymore. Everytime I start up my desktop it takes too long to see my charts just because MC has to look for the data in TWS again. I see that because I get annoying historical d...

I have those error messages also a bit too easy in my opinion. How is it possible that I have the historical data request pacing violation for many many minutes altough I just start up my desktop/workspaces as I quit them the evening before?? It's very frustrating! If the data is saved on my compute...

The barstatus should do the trick. Many thanks.
Consider it as solved.

Had a search on forum but not in wiki. (stupid me :-) ) I try to understand the concept of barstatus and I think this will do the trick but in practice I don't see always direct impact on the signals. Can I combine it like here? LE = barstatus=2 and close > average(close,10) ; LX = MarketPosition = ...

The [IntrabarOrderGeneration=true] was above. Because it didn't worked as expected, i tried to use the statusbar in the definition of the LE, SE and the stops. But with no different outcome. This is the full code. Inputs: TargetL(11), TargetS(11), ExitL(50), ExitS(50), FixStop(20); variables: LE(fal...

I implemented it and it indeed seems that the entry is EOB altough the [IntrabarOrderGeneration=true] is used. Which is good. But now also the profit and the stoploss are end of bar. In the code I used the barstatus where I should expect it counts only for entries (LE, SE) and stops (LongSL, ShortSL...

Hello, I've read https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/How_Signals_are_Calculated and i'm using now [IntrabarOrderGeneration=true] So that the profit target and stoploss of X point will be executed intrabar. Altough, the entrysignal (long/short) should be End Of Bar. Is that possibl...

Will use that then.
Merci

Go to Format Study,

Change the Plot Type to "Left Tick".

Amazing, it works!
Super supportforum. MC rules, hehe

Indeed, no error now. Tough, the result is not as hoped (see chart). The goal is the have the shortExit-signal-line for the last 10 bars when the marketposition is short. Variables: HighestHigh(0), x(0); if i_getplotvalue(1) = -1 then begin HighestHigh = Highest(high, 10)[1]; // Remove the old plot ...

MC for TWS is just for trial, I'm already using MC 64 v9.0 build 10360. If I put i_setplotvalue(1, MarketPosition); just below the formula as you showed, the compiler gives: unknow function. So, I seems I don't have the beta version? What's best to do? Other program possibility or download the beta?...

Good idea but is that for vista users or for versions below 8.8. I use windows 8 with MC version 9. There were never problems. Now that I install the latest MC for TWS 8.90, there's the problem. I saw that the error is also when compiling an existing indicator. Is this a conflict between the two ver...

I installed MC for TWS (64bit) and did a simple copy/paste of the original MACD formula into MC for TWS. It gaves a compile error. How comes? Is it because it's a trial version? ------ Build started: ------ Study: "Band_Low" (Indicator) Please wait .... ------ Compiled with error(s): ------ Compile ...

Hi Wegi, thanks for the idea. Looked in wiki for more information about the i_setplotvalue but it's not clear where to put this in the signal and indicator. I tried to put i_setplotvalue(1,Marketposition) as a variable but got: syntax error, unexpected 'identificator, expecting 'data' or 'data'. Fir...

It seems not possible in 'signals' to use something like: if close > movingaverage(close,5) then plot(indicator x). Within 'indicators' it's not possible to use 'marketposition'. What I want to become, is that when the marketposition = 1, then I want to plot my stopindicator somewhere under, for exa...

Indeed, copy/paste is sometimes a bit too easy but that's how i try to learn it. I'm a real starter.

Should have looked up the meaning of status bar. Changed it and it seems to work better now.

With this a can build further, thanks!

When adding, the indicator is not plotted. When reloading the chart 1 or 2 days, then the indicator is (mostly) plotted.
Is there a reason why it's so hard to get that indicator on the chart?

Your formula should plot the same as on your chart isn't? A copy/paste into the editor and after F3, this shows nothing on the chart. That's strange. --- After trying several times and looking at the parameters, it's now shown on the ES chart but when I try on another chart, it's nothing. How comes ...

Josh and TJ,

Included an image with the plot of the lowest value. It's plotted constantly. I want it to plot only under the latest x bars. Like the blue line that has been drawn.

In fact it's exact what's on the graph of Josh but when using the formula it does nothing.
Almost there I think.

Hi, I have an indicator that plots the lowest value of the close. Tough, it's plotted historical under every bar until the latest. I want it to be plotted only under the latest 10 bar. inputs: LengthA( 10 ), Displace( 0 ) ; variables: var0( 0 ), var1( 0 ) ; var0 = Lowest( Close, LengthA ); condition...

:: Is there a solution for this? For example, putting all the conditions (LE,LX, SE, SX) into one file? You can put all the conditions in one file. Most of the programmers would prefer to have all the logics in one file. ---- It's in 4 files now (LE,LX,SE,SX) but I use the commands Buy, Sell, Sell ...

I' running a strategy for many years on metastock (to IB TWS) without any problem but I'm switching to MC now. I'm trying to convert the formula correctly to test MC. The last sessions, the signals looked almost 100% similar until today. MC is going short altough in Metastock it's still long and MS ...
