Re: Request: dark theme for MultiCharts!

+1 So many programs of all kinds offer native dark/grey themes now. Even if it's possible to tinker with windows settings, it's really hard to have a good overall balance. Please Multicharts, help save our eyes too and, even if it’s secondary, you could gain an extra appealing aspect at the same tim...

Re: Issue: great discrepancy between ticks charts from live session vs ticks charts from historical data feed

Hi Ben, You just need to contact LMax, explain them the problem (and your disappointment!) and ask them to modify this update frequency rate. They use to reply pretty fast. You will have to test different setups to find the good balance. But keep in mind that even with the maximum frequency (1.000/s...

Re: Bid Ask data vs Trade data

I am carrying different tests to calculate the amount of “ticks loss” between the LMAX live tick feed and the LMAX historical tick feed. The difference is very impressive and can only be reduced from LMAX side by increasing the update ratio of the client’s API. But increasing this threshold is creat...

Re: Issue: great discrepancy between ticks charts from live session vs ticks charts from historical data feed

Great to hear your feedback on the way brokers are streaming their own live feed! Even if I am developing for many years, it’s something that I wasn’t aware. Following your comments on the broker you tested, IB seems to have the more “coherent” way to address this issue. But obviously this will have...

Thank you very much MyDesign for the tests you made!

First the calculation was made under live tick feed for several days and...

Re: Issue: great discrepancy between ticks charts from live session vs ticks charts from historical data feed

Re: .RLD command line. How to use it on “Second” chart or “Change” charts?

Thank you Svetlana for your explanation. So it’s not possible, all “data” charts from the same symbol are reloaded. If we use a tick chart and a change charts from the same symbol, there is no way to reload only the change charts. This is somehow logical but, from I had read on that previously, it w...

Yes, that’s true. As usual, devil is in details! This was a totally unexpected issue even if now after LMax explanations I understand what is the technical limitation behind that. They also proposed a solution that, at least, may make live tick feed getting pretty close to the historical tick feed. ...

Hello,

This would be a very very  interesting feature! It could allow to dramatically simplify codes and calculation processes (avoiding uses of multiple data series for example). 
Is there any news for the introduction of this functionality and keywords?

Re: which entry of a multi entries position was closed?

Well, as the exit respond to a logic or to a reached level, we can artificially retrieve the exit name and price by comparing the price within the bar where an entry was closed with all of the "targeted prices" or exit logics of all the opened entries. For example, if the target of "entry 3" was at ...
