Tick Size issue

Might be a primitive issue that Im missing, but somehow, my tick size gets rounded, which results in incorrect stops and targets. For Euro, Im using a 0.0001 tick size, which funnily enough, gets rounded to 0. If I use a profit target of 90, the target (90*.0001 = 0.0090) gets rounded to 0.01. I can...

Coding query. No more trades for the day

What would be the best way to stop MC from making any further trades for the day once certain conditions are fulfilled? eg, if a stop is hit, or if equity reaches a certain level, or if certain number of trades are reached for the day.

As I see the 5 min chart, the first order triggers at 20:05 when the conditions turn true. After that, the conditions remain true for more than 24 hours, and a...

Sending multiple conditional orders [SOLVED]

Again, a basic query. For some reason, Im not able to get it to execute. What Im trying to do is trigger an order based on certain conditions (condition1 and condition2). Once that executes, I want to check if the same conditions hold true at 10pm. If so, I want to trigger another order of the same ...

Re: Beginner query regarding order entry price..

Thanks Henry. That clears up a few things for me, as I was running a backtest. The kind of results Im hoping for are delivered in Realtime with IOG enabled. Just to confirm, does real time refer to live production trading only, or will it be the same in forward testing on demo accounts as well with ...

Beginner query regarding order entry price..

Im trying to work through the basics of multicharts, and I tried to chart a moving avg for crude and run a simple order entry signal just to get a feel of the system. But something is amiss. I cannot seem to get the order entry/execution at the price/time I want. Following is a simplified version of...
