Fair point, Tony. I've made the changes below to illustrate the issue. I buy 10 contracts once, and want to sell 1 contract at a time. However, MC would only allow sell once, in other words, "sellname" should be executed many times but seems only one time is allowed. //buy signal if marketposition=0...

In my signal, I might have the following entry and exit with their identifiable names. //buy signal if marketposition=0 and CurrentContracts<TotalAllowedSize and RSI>20 and RSI<40 then buy ("buyname") 1 contract next bar at Close limit; //sell signal if marketposition>=1 and CurrentContracts>0 and R...

Hi, In my signal, I might have the following entry and exit with their identifiable names. //buy signal if marketposition=0 and CurrentContracts<TotalAllowedSize and RSI>20 and RSI<40 then buy ("buyname") 1 contract next bar at Close limit; //sell signal if marketposition>=1 and CurrentContracts>0 a...

I think I've just found the reason.

The setting for Test2 has the "Enable intra-bar Order Generation" checked. That's why the difference.

Thank you!

Here's an interesting finding. I created a New Signal called Test3, and copy the exact same code (Test2) that generated the multiple printouts , paste into Test3. Turn off the Test2, and turn on Test3. The output is not only show one printout as below. 1170103.00 310.00 310.00 1.04564 1.04552 1.0490...

I notice you only have 1 time series that is at 1min. My scenario is that data1 is 1 min like in your chart, and I also have data2 at 10min interval. When you have two time series in one chart, you should see that the script runs more than once. I also notice your x is set at 750, and since you have...

Ben,

Is your example an Indicator or Signal?

I tried using Indicator, and it only print once for each bar time, but in a Signal it prints more than once as I have shown.

Hi, I use two data series, data1 is 1min, and data2 is 10min bars. There is no intrabarpersist. Here's a snippet of the code. IF BARSTATUS(2)=2 and time<>lastbartime THEN BEGIN lastbartime = time; ...... if date=1170103 and time=310 then print(date," ",time," ", ...bunch of variables here...); ........

Thanks, TJ.
I gather it's just the right syntax of MC.

Don't know why it works, but your suggestion works. Not sure why I need to declare it as MACD2(0,data2) and not MACD2(0). Thank you.
Appreciate it if someone can explain why it works.
Thank you.

Hi, I'm currently trying to use Data1 as 1min bars, and Data2 as 10min bars, and in the same chart window. Using the code quoted here, inputs: F1(6),S1(10),L1(3),F2(6),S2(10),L2(3),F3(270),S3(585),L3(203), T1(0600),T2(1410),Y(90); variables: MACD1(0),MACD2(0),MACD3(0),OldMA(0),MACDBuy(9999),MACDSS(-...

Henry, are you referring to the issues relating to BarStatus which will be improved in MC 9.1 beta 1? Before I upgrade from 8.8 to 9, I would like to know if I need to re-compile everything, or it's simply a download and install? ****************************************************************** Dur...

TJ, the chart resolution for Chart1 and 2 are ticks.

Before I upgrade from 8.8 to 9, I would like to know if I need to re-compile everything, or it's simply a download and install?

Using MC 8. In the chart, I have set, Series 1 = Bid price Series 2 = Ask price Series 3 = 1min bar In the Script, I have, if date=1141201 and time_s>=110918 and time_s<=110937 then begin print(time_s, " Barnumber=", barnumber); print(time_s, " ", barstatus(1), " ", barstatus(2), " ", barstatus(3));...

Hi, For precision backtesting, I'm using Data Series #1 as Bid, #2 as Ask, and #3 as a bar (either minute or ticks). I want to be able to make decision using #3 bar status, and I use the keyword BarStatus(3)=1, or 2 or 0 . It seems that BarStatus does not return what I expect it to be. Could you adv...

There's definitely a need for trading stocks. If I have 30 stocks using the same strategy, it will be more resource efficient to not have to open 30 charts, or even 100 for that matter. However, the challenge that I can see from an architectural standpoint is when I use tick format instead of 1-min ...

Hi,

Can one MC signal be applied to multiple assets (stocks) without opening a chart for each?

Thank you in advance.

MM

Thanks for the reply Ben. I have the template selected as you have shown, and the "=MT4|BID!*" and I have even restarted the QuoteManager. Finally, I got help from Christina. The problem was it requires a "." at the end of the symbol. e.g. instead of "EURUSD", it requires "EURUSD." to make it work. MM

Hi,

Is anyone successful with using Universal DDE with MT4 data feed into MC 8 or 9?

There's a video in Multicharts that shows us how to do it, but in QuoteManager->Tools->DataSources->UniversalDDE Settings, I get the following errors (see attached).

MM

I'm using SA.

According to the Position Traker, there is no open position. I'm not sure how to read the position from the chart as I don't see any position indicated on the top of the chart.

Hi,

I'm using MC EL 8.8 and with LMAX.

I have the following,

MP=Marketposition;
if MP=1 then Sell ("exit") all shares next bar at market;

however, even if my position is closed, i.e. no outstanding position, the Marketposition is still 1.00. Why is that? Please advise.

MM

Hi, I have similar issue. My historical data file contains DATE,TIME,BID,ASK columns Based on your solution, am I right to understand that I should do the following steps? 1. create a symbol that uses ASCII mapping 2. import from the ascii file with BID column 3. create another symbol 4. import from...
