Thanks very much Josh I'll work on it!

I've got a trend-following strategy that averages down into pullbacks. For instance, say the market is trending up, makes a high at 1910, and begins to pullback. Will MC allow me to: - on a single click, enter several limit buy orders below the market. For example, at a single click or hot-key, ente...

Using MC and IB. 1) All bars in MC are time-stamped one hour behind IB bars. For example, the 5:14 EST minute bar in TWS shows as 4:14 pm in MC. 2) Bar charts in MC's do not exactly match charts in TWS. Not only are candles rendered differently, but sometimes the highs and lows are different (off by...

You need provide permanent access of MultiCharts to the authorization servers: https://mcauth.com/ https://mcauth1.com/ https://mcauth2.com/ Port numbers 80 and 443 should be open. So Multicharts requires permanent access to the authorization servers for live-trading? And for back-testing without o...

Hello veritasig, MultiCharts is a standalone application. There are no MultiCharts servers that keep/transfer your information. All modules, configuration parameters and user data (workspaces, studies, data) are kept on your computer and are not sent anywhere from it. Personal information is stored...

Straight question. IP theft is commonplace. Brokers, clearing firms and software vendors regularly study, front-run and reverse engineer profitable traders. How can I be sure Multicharts isn't doing the same? The MT4 virtual dealer plug-in that allowed brokers to shade prices and slip customer accou...

Great. Hope theres something in there for new buyers..

any word on this?

Thanks TJ. I will experiment and get back

Thanks TJ, Sorry to belabor the point. I have yet to sit down at the computer and test it out. My general question is this: can multicharts reference candles prior to the entry candle, to set a stop loss? I'm a technical/chart trader, and the strategies I want to autotrade will be a reflection of th...

Anyone around ?

Is it possible to apply a stop loss to [-1] bar since entry (read: the bar prior to the entry bar)? Not by a SetStopLoss for sure, but it is possiblte to put it as an entry order (however if you keep it after another entry order is filled, this stop order is turned into a reverse order, rather than...

Thanks Andrew.

Is it possible to apply a stop loss to [-1] bar since entry (read: the bar prior to the entry bar)?

I would check myself just having some issues getting my signal going.

MC customer service fixed the other issues great. No more lag (caused by Kaspersky Antivirus).

Programming question... How to set a stoploss at the high or low of the entry bar? I'm thinking: variables: stoplossvalue(0), entrystopdifference(0); stoplossvalue = high(barssinceentry); entrystopdifference = stoplossvalue - entryprice(0); setstoploss(entrystopdifference*dollar tick multiplier for ...

Okay, I will contact the live chat and sort it out.


Hilbert, check the picture. TWS is overlayed with MC. Last trade in TWS (symbol YM) shows xxx90. Tick chart in MC shows last trade as xxx91 === lag.

Another issue - opened an IB paper trading account. MC cannot connect to paper account. Trusted IP address is set to 127.0.0.1

Here's the pic. This particular lag between TWS and MC lasted more then 10 seconds... ?

I will check out the online help shortly.

Seems there's a 1-5 second delay between change in last trade in IB TWS and chart update in Multicharts.....?

I've watched it for the past half hour. Multicharts lags TWS updates by around 1-5 seconds....

Thanks sp. Will do

Thanks. I'll get back on that. Another question - how can I simulate chart trading with my demo MC version, without sending live orders to IB TWS, from which I receive data? I want to experiment and trial the trade-from-chart and ATS capabilities without placing live orders? But using live data? Tha...

I'm enjoying the MC demo. As I go along, random questions pop up. Using Maximum Adverse Excursion analysis for a backtested strategy; several hundred trades show a MAE > 100 dollar drawdown. When stop loss is set to 50 dollars, many losing trades still show up between MAE 50 dollars and 100 dollars....

Ok, thank you. Figured that out last night. Figuring things out as I go along here. Prefer to dive right in as opposed to reading manual first

Thank you. Fixed :) How about this: Running MC demo. Created a strategy and backtested it in Portfolio Trader. Under signals > strategy name > format signal > properties > "enable intra bar order generation is grayed out and can't be enabled. Along with all the options for under entries and exits. H...

Installed a 30 day demo of MC Broker is IB with desktop TWS API settings were configured as per MC tutorial video. Upon MC start and connection attempt to IB, connection cannot be made. When IB prompt, "accept connection attempt yes or no" pops up, and yes is selected, connection cannot be made. The...

Before I drop big money on the platform, it would be great to know the answers to these questions. Sorry if they've been answered already (couldn't find a definitive response on the boards or MC wiki): 1) Is easylanguage incorporated into Multicharts.net? If I buy multicharts.net, does it have easyl...
