mno,
Are you checking the processes in Task Manager when closing MultiCharts ? Were there any errors/signs of incorrect closing?

Angelina MultiСharts

RedBerlin,

Please, send us an export of this workspace, export of your signal and export of the instrument from QuoteManager.

What about GlobalVariables: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... _Variables ?

Angelina MultiСharts

Louis88,

Did you make any changes to the RTD server itself?

Angelina MultiСharts

If you don't reload the chart (Ctrl+R), changes will remain untouched.

Angelina MultiСharts

Do the symbol roots match?
You can try changing data feed for OEC instruments in Quote Manager.

Hello Henrik1, 1. In Rank strategy TraceOutput regulates the Output prints. For example: if TraceOutput then print("CurrentBar = ", currentbar:0:0, ".

Hello bowlesj3,

I can't think of a way to do it. Maybe other users can offer a solution.

Angelina MultiСharts

Hello dingmanhoe123,

In real-time such strategy will be calculated with delay and only when "open of next bar" is actually available. So the order is going to be sent on bar close or next tick (depending on IOG state).
I'd recommend using Net Profit or OpenPositionProfit

Angelina MultiСharts

Hello,

Adding support for Reuters Eikon datafeed is not on our roadmap at the moment.

Hello pdemontferrier,

Welcome to our discussion forum!

It's quite hard to say without knowing what RSI_01M is. But, generally speaking, yes, the script logic is correct.

Angelina MultiСharts

In buy order, if limitPrice < stopPrice, then no buy order is fullfilled. In sellshort order, if stopPrice < limitPrice, then no sellshort order is fullfilled. Stop limit order logic remains the same: it will be executed at a specified price, or better, after a given stop price has been reached. On...

Hello Martinc,

I am afraid there are only two ways to run the Optimization: from chart (for 1 contract) and from Portfolio (mix of contracts).
Currently, it is not possible optimize a strategy on a number of symbols and get separate results for each one.

Hi Abhi,

Please see the list here: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... rity_types

Angelina MultiСharts

bryanzim,

Please try selecting "Get symbol from: File name" and setting "Symbol" column to "undefined" to improve the speed.

As I said here: viewtopic.php?t=50704#p126191 , this improvement is in our to-do list, but there's no ETA yet.

Angelina MultiСharts

How often is this issue reproduced?
Are you connecting to CQG/CSI/FreeQuotes?

Also, please add a column with GDI object count in TaskManager - is it close to 7500?

Are you connecting to CQG/CSI/FreeQuotes?

Angelina MultiСharts

scuba,

Just tested it - everything works properly.
1. Please reload the chart (Ctrl+R).
2. If it doesn't work, make sure you have Yahoo finance enabled in feed settings in QuoteManager (full platform restart is needed after making the changes)
3. What's the build number of your installation?

Hello Automeq,

tool_dashed can only be used in combination with TL_SetStyle keyword for trendlines. Plot style should be set in Format Study -> Style tab, it is not possible to do from the script.
Style tab doesn't pick up the values from your script, so it displays default color.

Angelina MultiСharts

Hello arjfca,

Alert sounds can only be specified in Format Study -> Alerts tab.
But you can use the PlaySound keyword.
Strictly speaking, it's not an alert but it does the trick: it can play the specified audio file when the condition is met.

If I understand correctly, I must create in MC an Indicator that inherits from DLL_Indicator and my DLL_Indicator must inherit from Powerlanguage.Indicator.IndicatorObject ?

Yes, that is correct.

Maybe some of the users can share the examples?

Actually, there are still three, as this option affects backtesting only.
"Enable access to intra-bar time" option makes intra-bar time (timestamps of the detailed data series selected in Bar Magnifier) available from PowerLanguage script (Date, Time and Time_s keywords).

Send the first group, when it is processed - send the next one, etc. In PLE.NET you can send unmanaged orders (bypassing the autotrading engine). Using this mechanism it is possible to group the orders by OCO-groups...

Hello rezanp1356,

Please try setting Client ID value to 0 both in TWS (Configure -> API -> Settings -> Master API client ID) and in MultiCharts (File -> Broker Profiles -> Manage Broker Profiles). Full platform restart will be required after making the changes.

Hello evdl,

The signal finishes the calculation for one tick before starting recalculation for a new one.

Do you print your strategy order generation?

Angelina MultiСharts

Hello signalworks,

Order generated on N tick will be sent on the N+1 tick.
So when the condition is met, order cancellation/modification can only be sent on the tick that follows.

Hello Mark,

Could you please give us an update? Does the problem still persist?

Angelina MultiСharts

so, my understanding is that it's better to adopt each signal separately in different charts, right?

Hi evdl,

With IOG enabled, "next bar" is not the actual bar but next tick (next calc point).

With 1 minute resolution both in backtesting and in realtime it there are more than 1 ticks per minute, orders will be generated and sent intrabar. Here is a short video: https://yadi.sk/d/1Hboipgm3EWuQ4

For backtesting: first the stoploss is evaluated, then strategy is recalculated.

dnickless,

In this case the only solution I see is to use a more detailed resolution.
RecalcLastBarAfter will lead to strategy recalculation, but the the orders are not going to be sent intrabar.

Dnickless,

It is not possible to set the execution order for the orders generated on one calculation.
Your strategy has to generate all the exit orders first, and the entry ones after checking the market position or Sell order statuses.

FOREX.com may be used as a data feed or broker in MultiCharts, if it works through one of the supported. If they are working through GAIN Capital, then it should be possible to connect them. However, it is necessary to confirm with your broker that the account is enabled for MultiCharts.
