Thanks for that point, it's good to know! That's fine for my application though, since I just want to use the pivots to know recent highs / recent lows, usually more than 4 bars later.

Hi, I've been using this Pesavento indicator that was generously posted in this forum by Andrew Kirillov: http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=5017 Among other things, it identifies swings/pivots and draws them on the chart. The code is a bit over my head, but I would like to be abl...

If I turn off a strategy while there is an active order, obviously I click "Do Not Cancel Orders" when prompted about my bracket orders, so that the trade will be safe and complete on its own if automation never resumes. Then when I re-enable automated trading, when prompted I "assign the initial ch...

Hi, I was using SA, which is the default. I just tried AA mode and it fixed this. So thank you!

But I'm a bit confused; is it not the point of "synchronous" mode to sync the chart with the broker history?

Thanks again.

I use the EntriesToday function to limit the number of trades to 1. So, the code only places a trade "if EntriesToday(Date) = 0". This works fine in backtesting, but for live auto-trading it messes up if auto-trading is disabled and then re-enabled. So it will do only 1 trade, but then if I disable ...

Whenever a small change is made to configuration, auto-trading is disabled. For example, if I change the default time in force in my MC broker profile from DAY to GTC, auto-trading is then disabled and I must re-enable it. Is it possible to stop that from happening? I would prefer to manage that mys...

I have a system that places a long and short at the same time, and is meant to only do 1 trade per day. I am experiencing a problem in which I end up with 2 trades in 1 day if one bar pierces both my long entry and short entry price. This is my code to place orders: if EntriesToday(Date) = 0 then be...

Wow, I've read many posts about limiting number of trades per day but had not come across the EntriesToday function. This is perfect. Thanks escamillo!

Thanks. I will have to figure out how to properly use intrabarordergeneration then. So, I turn it on. (In the Signal's 'Format' settings, "Enable Intra-Bar Order Generation" with "limit this signal to one entry and one exit per bar" checked). On this break-out strategy I'm building, the entry price ...

Currently, I am doing this: if MarketPosition <> 0 then vDailyTrades = 1; if vDailyTrades >= 1 then #return ; It works except in the case where one bar enters a trade and then hits the stop in that same bar, thus exiting on the same bar. When this occurs, the program never sees that MarketPosition <...

Agreed!! It's frustrating because the Renko bars have so much potential but without this kind of consistency, it's not possible to do the kind of reliable testing needed before putting automated strategies live... I hope this thread gets some attention!

Thanks guys... Here is the link for the feature request, for you to vote on: http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-1649 By the way, last week I created another Renko-related 'bug' report that points out a problem in how Renko charts are built from 1-min data, but it has yet to be r...

Is there a way to make Renkos start from multiples of 5, or 10? Currently Renko bars start from the first value on the chart. Example: Using tick data, and 10-tick Renko bricks, if the first tick is 91.43 then all subsequent renko bars with close/open at .43, .53, .63, .73, etc. It would be much bet...

Selecting tick data causes a message to be displayed: not currently available... coming soon.

Is there a known time at which this will this become available?

It's incredible to me that those features are missing! It's not as though they are saying "upgrade to make these available" or anything. Those are very significant features!

I get the impression that there are some features missing from the $39/month version of "Multicharts for TWS": - I cannot locate the quote manager (File, New, ... 'New Quote Manager Window' is NOT listed) - I don't see any options for data providers other than TWS. Is this supported? - I cannot figu...
