Thanks.

Ram

I'm using multiple screens in my workstation, each screen hosts a different detached chart, I would like to change the chart's caption to my own by code from the signal running on that chart...

Any thoughts on how to get this done?

Thank you all in advance,

Thank you Josh.

Hi, My goal is to have a chart that shows only the last hour based on 1 second bar, when setting the data range for 60 minutes Bars Back it works as it should: https://www.dropbox.com/s/edxneju9saddvwb/60_minutes.png?dl=1 However when setting the data range for 3600 Bars Back for 1 second resolution...

Thank you.

Dear All, I have two strategies that are running simultaneously on two different charts, each chart has a different strategy and both strategies share data passed back and forth by both strategies via a public module and each strategy logic acts based on the data stored in the public module: https:/...

Hello Ram,

That is possible to enable the option "Center last price" in Format->Instrument->Scaling tab when scaling is set to Screen or Entire Series.

Awesome! thx much!

Hi All, when time goes by the chart is moving with the time line, I want to achieve the same behavior with the price axis as well, meaning, the last price marker will be visible in the middle of the axis at all time, when the price goes up/down the market stays in the middle and the chart will adjus...

Ram, There is nothing that can be done to instantiate such an object and this is not something that we are going to add in the future.

Hello Ram, These are manual trading tools and they cannot be accessed from code directly. You can create similar code logic yourself.

Hello Ram,

Please go to Format->Strategy Properties->Auto trading tab->Select broker plugin->select the profile you need->go to Settings->configure the connection the way you need.
There is no way to do that from the code.

Got it, Thx.

Hi,

I have two different accounts connected to my MC, the chart has one active signal:

Assuming the example above (connected to Acc#1), how to set the signal to change its connection to Acc#2 by code?

Thx much in advance!
Best,

Ram

Hi, At MC Wiki page Pre-Scanning and Watchlist there's an example for what I'm guessing is a workaround to fire signal events from an indicator to be used from a watch list, the problem is that the indicator is a PLA type.. does anyone have an idea how that indicator is working? or better yet to po...

Hi, EDIT: My data series' are based on IQFeed and my broker is IB I have a problem when sending limit orders based on any series price that is not the main series just doesnt work..

Ram

My question is how to get the name of the active workspace from the signal code? If you're auto-trading, you could use the TradeManager to retrieve the `Workspace` property from the `Order` class. Alternatively, `Environment.ChartWindowHWND` returns the window handle of the chart to which the study...

Ram

Ram,

"IApplicationInfo.IsAutoTradingMode" will not work in an indicator. It will work in a signal only.

Thanks.

Ram

When trying to use "IApplicationInfo.IsAutoTradingMode" I get an error: I think you need to use `Environment.IsAutoTradingMode` for your goal. That is similar as you did earlier, except without the `Environment.IsRealTimeCalc` property. http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/download/file.php?id=871...

Ram

"Use as Default" is for newly created charts. In order to save the current chart - you need to save the workspace.

Thank you.

Ram

Hello Ram,

There is no such option.

Okay; on the issue different thing:

When I check the "Use as Default" checkbox at the bottom of that window it doesnt seem to remember this settings when it reloads.. any thoughts?

Thx again.
R.

Ram

Hi,

Can anyone point me on how to set "Chart Shift" by code?

Thx much in advance,
Cheers,
R.

Ram

My solution/workaround is instead of using:

Code: Select all


X = -26

ChartPoint(Bars.Time.Item(X), 0)

I use:

Code: Select all


X = -26

ChartPoint(Bars.CurrentBar + Math.ABS(X), 0)

Best,
R.

Ram

sellshort "at close" limit

if best bid on the open of the next bar > "at close" then your order will execute as an aggressor sell. Aka a market order, worse price = "at close".

Else it will join the book as a limit order.

that makes seance

Thx!

Ram

Hi All,

as part of many POC's, I've tried the following command in my signal:

Code: Select all

sellshort Next Bar At close Limit;

although i get to see the order executed in IB's TWS, the sell to open executed as Market instead of Limit, what am I doing wrong here?

Thx much in advance,
