Having just purchased MC again and connected my Oanda account I don't see anything in the positions history tab. Does this just contain positions created since I've started using MC or should it import all the position history associated with my Oanda account. If the latter, how do I do this?

Thanks

Thanks - it is because it's a V20 account.

Do you know when these account types will be supported by Multicharts as Oanda are not allowing me to use a non V20 account.

I'm having trouble connecting to the Oanda data feed (as well as using as a trading broker). I'm using a practice account with MC 9.1 and it just gives a connection error whenever I try to connect. Attached is the log when I try to connect to the data feed in Quote Manager - the login details I'm us...

Thanks, but I really want to see line chart not candlestick bars for 1 Change and 1 Tick chart. The "Show Empty Periods" makes no different for my 1 Change line-on-close chart. A line chart by definition connects between closing prices only. Therefore you the horizontal line just means the closing ...

I noticed there are many small horizontal lines in Oanda "1 Change" chart (as attached jpg). I think for a "1 change" chart every new point should be a new price so that means the "Change" bar. I don't why this chart has many small horizontal line segment which means price is not changed there... T...

To help others who look to trade breakouts via stop orders whereby they want to trade the initial continuation move when price first breaks the breakout price (in this case previous bar high) I've elaborated on the code in the previous post. The key is needing to ensure a) capture 1st time price bre...

In the example below, if the close of the current tick breaks the last bar high then I want to set a buy stop order based on that close price + 10 pips (0.0010) - this is for backtesting purposes only. [IntrabarOrderGeneration = true]; (...) bid = close ; //tick close not bar close (...) condition1...

Thanks for the prompt responses folks. So, if I understand correctly if the bid price changes within the same tick it is not possible to obtain the updated bid price. Once you call insidebid for the 1st time that is the bid price that will be used throughout the calculations. This does match what I...

The code below replicates a simplified version of something I'm trying to achieve. In the example below, if the close of the current tick breaks the last bar high then I want to set a buy stop order based on that close price + 10 pips (0.0010) - this is for backtesting purposes only. But this doesn'...

I've been testing using convert_currency within contract size calculations for FX based trades and the exchange rate it seems to use always seems a little outdated and thus produces an outdated conversion. For example the code below when attached to a GBPJPY chart will convert GBP1000 to JPY. The la...

I've had a search within the forum and I couldn't see a definitive answer to this: Within live automated trading, if I reference Insidebid within an initial calculation, (with IntrabarOrderGeneration = true) for example: myBid = Insidebid ; SwingHighValue = SwingHigh( 1,high,2,50); //most recent swi...

Does anyone use MC with Oanda? I tried and so far the connection itself seems to be ok. I can see quotes changing and I can place Orders. But if I try to display a chart all I get is: "Establishing connection..." in the status line of the chart window. But on the right side in the 'Chart Trading se...

I'm new to MC and being an intraday FX trader I mostly have to make quick decisions as to entry and SL for a trade. My lot size is calculated according to the GBP I'm willing to risk on the trade i.e. it is directly related to my entry and SL. I do not have time to plug in the details of entry, SL, ...

Limit orders (which is what MC sends as target order) will need full margin, stop orders dont need margin. This is incorrect - LMAX does not distinguish between order types when setting margin charges - market, limit or stop - they all attract margin costs. The actual margin charged is as per I des...

Just to add - you won't have 3x margin requirements, it's more like 2x. For example if you had a 1 lot long in the market with an MC created OCO for SL and TP this would leave you with: - 1 lot open long - SL, 1 lot short stop order - TP, 1 lot short limit order Thus as LMAX doesn't treat the SL and...

Many thanks for the quick response.

The solution to the position size limit issue worked fine.

I'm a manual trader.

I have an Oanda account and was interested in the new ability to trade via MC and I'm so far liking the platform a lot. I do however have a few queries: 1. The open P/L within the Accounts tab of the Order and Position Tracker Window is incorrect (P/L within Open Positions tab and on the chart tradi...
