Thanks TJ.

inputs: DonchianChannelLength(6); variables: currentDateTime(0), tradeDateBeginTime(915), tradeDateEndTime(1610), morningSessionBeginTime(915), morningSessionEndTime(1155), morningSessionFirstEntyTime(945), morningSessionLastEntyTime(1130), afternoonSessionBeginTime(1300), afternoonSessionEndTime(1...

Hi TJ,

Sorry I don't get what you said above, could you explain a bit more please? Thanks.

MC Version 11.0 Release (Build 16148) Found something strange when I look at the charts today. I have plot the DonchianChannel with 5 days period on the charts with below code. inputs: period (NumericSimple), myMid (NumericRef), myUpper (NumericRef), myLower (NumericRef); myUpper = Highest(H, period...

Can I do this using easy language instead of the chart template?

Same as using SameAsSymbol in MC.NET, but I want to do it in Power Lanauge.. Thanks.

Attached. Thanks a lot.

attached the workspace, signal and indicator

I have tried to use my custom indicator inside a signal but the order generated are all wrong. The screen is showing a messy order entry and exit, but if you read the code, it shouldn't generate so many orders. Any clue about this?? I have displayed the two MAs on the charts, it should not be possib...

I think I nail down the problem.... If I comment out the Execlnfo.MaxBarsBack = Period-1 then it is fine....but why? The strategy's maxbarsback itself is 500, which is so much longer than the period pass into the indicator already. protected override void StartCalc() { // assign inputs //ExecInfo.Ma...

Hi Henry,

I have attached the workspace, indicator and the signal. Please have a look and advise since I don't even try to read the values so I am not sure why the AddIndicator call will throw errors....

Hi Henry,

Attached the workspace and the indicator.

Error message. Why does it complaint (1) bar only?

A bit driving me nuts... I tried to code some very simple signal using my own indicator as below: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using PowerLanguage.Function; using ATCenterProxy.interop; namespace PowerLanguage.Strategy { public class Jeffrey_SimpleHMADailyLE : SignalObject ...

I suspect that this is expected behaviour; if I recall correctly there were also topics about this with the regular MultiCharts edition, although I cannot find them now. Anyway, try displacing the plot. I think that would give the behaviour you're after (if I understand you correctly). So change th...

I have tried to change the plot colour based on the indicator value is rising or falling, however it doesn't quite working during the turning point. Attached the screen shot. The code is like: if (hmaSeries[0]>=hmaSeries[1]) { hmaPlot.Set(0, hmaSeries[0], Color.LightGreen); } else { hmaPlot.Set(0, h...

I tried to comment the maxbarsback in the custom ATR but still the same problem. Honestly I don't know why. The problem seems come from the maxbarbacks of the strategy.

The maxbarbacks of the Strategy needs to inline with the indicator. Resolved now.

Hello Sylpha, In your Jxxxxx_ATR study you have explicitly specified ExecInfo.MaxBarsBack = 1; I tried to hardcode the MaxBarsBack in the strategy to match with my custom atr, no luck. Also I tried to use MC.NET's atr but it throws buffer overflow exception. I need someone to explain why these two ...

I tried to implement a strategy as attached. When I use my own version of ATR (Jxxxxx_ATR) and run the backtest, MC.NET will throw error saying "Tried to Reference more bars (1) than allowed by MaxBarBackSetting. Please increase the MaxBarBackSetting". However when I change the MaxBarBackSetting (sa...

Thanks for answering this!

Does it mean I can use the Plot.Set(Bars.Close[0]) inside a strategy?

If so, then how can I call the chart from the backtesting?

I am from NT7 so I am looking for some features like: When I back test a strategy, the system can show a chart and displaying all the entry/exist orders and the plot of all the indicators involves in the signal(s). So that I can have a visual view about how the signal working on a data series instea...

Hi Henry, From the below page: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Symbol_Mapping It mentions "Data Source = Broker Symbol mapping is automatically correct if the data on chart comes from a data source that is your broker at the same time. Examples: IB, CQG, LMAX and so on. A mapp...

Thanks for the answer Henry, it is useful.

If I use Interactive Broker for both datafeed and order execution, do I still need to setup the symbol mapping? (For contract auto rollover)

I am trying to implement a Donchian channel indicator which needs to find the highest and lowest value of the past <period> bar. Say period is 20 then I need to find the highest and lowest value of the previous 20 bars every time I call the CalcBar() method. Is there any simple way to do this? Inste...

One more question, how can I store the indicator value of current bar into a array so that I have a series of values that I can read anytime?

public class New_ATR : IndicatorObject { [Input] public int period { get; set; } private double trueRange; private double averageTrueRange; private IPlotObject plot1; public New_ATR(object _ctx): base(_ctx){ // default 14 days period = 14; } protected override void Create() { // create variable obj...

One more problem: Since I can only get HSI symbol back to sometime in 2013, if I want to bulk create the symbol prior to 2013. How can I use the import symbol list function to create the contract properly? Properly means create the contract with correct expiration date and session template. However ...

Thanks TJ.

Then can I auto trade with this continuous future contract? Will system auto rollover i) The market data provide that I have create all the forth coming contract & ii) The position for me?

MC version: MC.NET 9.0.10761 64bits on Win 7. I have tried to setup a continuous contract for Hang Seng Index Future using IB as data source (Symbol root is HSI). Setting as below: http://pasteboard.co/2B4GpxZv.jpg However when I tried to put this contract in the watch list, MC complaints about this...
