Hello, Ming80! 1) Yes, when Local time zone is selected the bars time will be displayed in the local time zone of your machine as configured in its system settings. 2) Yes, you can make a workaround using the time offset in your code. 3) Please specify which difference are you referring to in partic...

Anna MultiCharts

lordsriram, to proceed with the analysis we’ll need you to send us the logs right after the issue is reproduced next time. Also most likely we’ll need to reproduce this on our end, so we’ll need you to provide us with the complete setup that’s required to reproduce the crash: 1. The workspace; 2. Ex...

Anna MultiCharts

futurestrader019,

Thanks for sharing your observations. TOS and TS are brokers themselves so they have their own symbol list that doesn’t require any additional configurations.
How it works in NT and why we cannot add a pre-built symbol list like them was described in my commentaries above.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, lordsriram! We’ve found your dumps. Please specify how often does this happen on your end and what steps and setup are required for reproducing this issue. Upd: The dumps analysis showed that you requested 7129 identical data series of 1 second resolution for one and the same instrument that ...

Hello, wilkinsw! According to the information from the CQG representatives they have the following limitations for the historical data on live accounts: - 30 days of tick data; - 3 months of minute data; - 3 years of daily data. The amount of history is thrice less for demo accounts. The "Request Co...

Jimmyrakete, According to these screenshots you’ve configured symbol mapping for the Paper Trading broker profile, but you send the orders to an account on Papier Trading. The difference is one letter, but it still makes a distinction between the profiles. Please check the symbol mapping for Papier ...

Hello, dvdkite! You are right saying the Global Variables can only work in realtime. The reason for that is that there’s no bar linking and synchronization between the studies on different charts, and it’s not possible to establish this synchronization (this cannot be done by means of the PowerLangu...

Jiaqiangmit,

Thanks for the screenshot and your suggestion. This improvement is filed for the future versions of MultiCharts.

Hello, Jimmyrakete!

Please post a screenshot of the error that you receive.

Hello, arjfca! You’re right. Since the first release of MultiCharts 12 it is possible to get delayed market data from IB. Only delayed streaming data is available, no historical data. The instrument with the delayed data will start updating only after the timeout for the delayed data has expired. TW...

Salzburg,

As agreed in Live Chat we'll be expecting you back for remote demonstration of this issue should it ever be reproduced again.

Anna MultiCharts

Applecabi,

as stated above those who are experiencing this compilation error in MultiCharts 12 Release 7 should contact us in Live Chat for remote demonstration of the issue.

Anna MultiCharts

trader39, yes, this is exactly what we tested and what we couldn’t replicate. We're glad to know that you found a solution for yourself, but still we'd like to investigate this should there be other users experiencing this issue. If you can recall more details about the time when your monitors were ...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Meecc!

You need to rename the existing symbols to a 2-digits or 4-digits year format. If you have, e.g. ESU0 that used to be ES September in 2010, you need to rename it to ESU10 or ESU2010 in QuoteManager.

If your excel file is constantly updating with data, then you might find the ASCII Mapping feature useful:

Dear users,

MultiCharts 12 Release 7 contains all of the preventive measures against this compilation error that we could think of by now. If it still bothers you in this release or higher please contact us in Live Chat for remote demonstration of the issue.

Salzburg,

To be able to advise anything we need to see the exact message about G++EXE that you receive. Either post it here or come to demonstrate it by remote connection to our Live Chat once it is reproduced.

Hello, Fattyflathead!

Hello, wilkinsw!

We tried to replicate this on our end, but it wasn’t successful. Please capture a similar video in the same environment: a Free Quotes chart + pre-built signals. https://bit.ly/31HBDMH
Or describe what needs to be done to reproduce this in more detail.

Hello, guobinzhang2003!

We’ve checked this on our end and we confirm the difference in time. We’ll carry out the investigation on this matter and post what we manage to find later.

Dear users,

The implementation of the support for the new TT API is targeted to MultiCharts 13.

Hello, Pipscalper! Thank you for your suggestion. I’m afraid our roadmap for the nearest versions is already formed and we’ll not be able to implement this in the nearest future. Still we’d like to estimate the demand for this functionality among other users. Please create a PM request for this and ...

Hello, darob! Please describe how the issue looks like on your end (some screenshots will be welcome) and provide the steps for reproducing this. Also please specify the version of MultiCharts and IB TWS/Gateway that you use. If you experience this on regular basis please send us the logs to illustr...

Anna MultiCharts

Rien,

You haven’t initially specified that this is for Portfolio Trader. You can use DataLoader or CustomInstrument functionality to load the cumulative delta values even if there's no such settings for the instruments in Portfolio.

Anna MultiCharts

Trader39,

We attempted to reproduce the same on our end, but failed. Could you describe what needs to be done to replicate the issue? Please specify the steps in as many details as possible.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, deadmandontcry! There’re 2 options: 1) purchase our broker API that will allow you to communicate with a non-supported order execution entity; 2) send the messages for your external service through a text file or DLL. If you’d like to find more about purchasing API please email us to find mor...

Anna MultiCharts

poutche, Both of your solutions are viable and there’s no fundamental difference between them. it seems strange to me that two orders are needed. This is the third parameter that asks me question. Why one field at a time? This is by design and serves for the proper communication with the broker APIs.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, trader39!

We’ll investigate this on our end. I’ll post what we manage to find.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, rien! Yes, you can reference a cumulative delta data series in your strategy. Cumulative delta is no longer a separate chart type, but it is an option for any other chart type. To enable it open the Format Instrument window -> Settings tab. In the lower part you’ll find “Show Delta”. Check th...

TrendFirst, Status line is updated 24/7, QuoteManager settings have no influence over it. But the chart is only updated during the session hours selected for it. The last price on the price scale and the last price in status line will coincide only during the session hours. Then after the session ha...

Anna MultiCharts

TrendFirst,

Please carry out the same experiment for other symbols and post an example of one of them that has differences between last price on the chart and in scanner.

Anna MultiCharts

TrendFirst, As far as we don’t know at what point you open your charts and scanner (before or after the session’s end) we’d ask you to perform the following experiment: - before 16:00 ET create a chart that uses 24/7 session and a scanner for the same symbol; - leave them be till the session’s end, ...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, TrendFirst! Our engineers have been testing this at the session end for several days and didn’t manage to reproduce what you captured on your screenshots.

Hello, jiaqiangmit!

Your request has been filed and we’ll consider the possibility of adding it in future versions.

Anna MultiCharts

futurestrader019, Thank you for your feedback. We’ve checked how it works in NT and I described that above. Unfortunately IB API doesn’t return the complete symbol list; please resort to one of the options I listed above. It also won’t be possible for us to add pre-built stocks from IB to QuoteManag...

Anna MultiCharts

wilkinsw, As a result of our communication by email we’ve arrived to the conclusion that we implement additional options for limit order emulation that will allow the choice of market and limit orders to be placed on the broker after the limit price is reached. The change will be introduced in the n...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, poutche! This depends on the broker. Some brokers mark partially filled orders as filled fully, and in such cases it will be required to place another order yourself. Other brokers mark partially filled orders as partially filled, and in this case the order will stay on the broker until it’s ...

Hello, poutche!

1) ITradingProfile.ModifyOrder is meant only for the orders that were placed through ITradingProfile. It cannot modify any other orders.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, jiaqiangmit!

Please attach some screenshots to illustrate the feature you’d like to get.

Anna MultiCharts

futurestrader019, As I mentioned in my previous post the easiness of adding symbols in NT might be related to the fact that they already have some pre-defined stocks in their database. Do you have access to NT now? Have you tried using some stocks that are not pre-added to NT’s database, i.e Swedish...

Hello, hunterdD!

Unfortunately there’s no such keyword.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Mark!

There were no changes to the TS connection in the latest release. Please come to our Live Chat to demonstrate this issue by remote connection Mon-Fri from 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM Eastern time (11:30 AM to 6:00 PM GMT). We’ll do our best to help you.

Anna MultiCharts

TrendFirst,

We tried to reproduce this on our end using the info from you, but didn’t manage to achieve similar results as captured on your screenshots.
What time zone are you in? Is this reproduced all the time on your end?

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, futurestrader019! As far as we know NT have about 900 pre-added stocks from IB in their database. This simplifies the use of symbols because one doesn’t have to add each of them. But these are most commonly used stocks. If you select a stock that’s not found in this list it will be required t...

Anna MultiCharts

PD Quig, We cross-checked the information, and here’s how it works: 1) data series is created on the chart (Data1), it receives the visual order = 1 (the lowest layer); by default the drawings are docked to the lowest informational series of the chart; 2) if any manual drawings were already applied ...

Anna MultiCharts

TrendFirst,

Apologies for the confusion. I meant the IQFeed data feed settings in Quotemanager: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... php/IQFeed

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, TrendFirst!

Please post a screenshot of the IQFeed settings and specify the version of MultiCharts and IQFeed client that you're currently using.

Anna MultiCharts

PD Quig,

Could you specify the exact version and release where you observed a different behavior?
We tested this in MultiCharts 12 releases 1 and 3, and it is the same as in release 6.

Hello, futurestrader019!

There’s no pre-built study converter and I’m afraid it will be required to re-create your studies in PowerLanguage to work with them in MultiCharts.

Anna MultiCharts

PD Quig, Thanks for the detailed description in PM. Unfortunately this cannot be viewed as a bug. The reason for the objects from Data(N+1) overlaping the objects from Data(N) is found in the order of the calculations and the series display within MultiCharts. First, the data series is drawn on the ...

Hello, rien! As we discussed this in Live Chat there are several things you can do: - decrease the data range, - decrease the number of symbols, - distribute your strategies/symbols between several portfolio workspaces.

turbofib, Are you referring to the TJ’s suggestion to link octave scripts with MultiCharts by means of a DLL? If so, then yes, you can only share the info between MC and other programs/other programming languages using a DLL (it will be required to create this DLL first), but still you cannot use oc...

Anna MultiCharts

Al3cs,

Thanks for the screenshot. Our developers will consider your suggestion. I’ll post their decision once it is available.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Al3cs!

We are currently estimating the demand for the new style settings for Volume Delta charts. Please describe how you’d want the shading to look like or provide an image illustrating your idea.

Anna MultiCharts

TraderD,

The implementation of this possibility is also planned for MultiCharts 13.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, TraderD!

There’s no such option at the moment. One optimization report is always stored if the workspace is saved.
We filed an improvement for disabling the optimization report storage completely for MultiCharts 13.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, tortoise! Let me sum up what was discovered during our Live Chat today. Drawings are attached to the series that’s sent to the back of your chart, and in your case it was one of the multiple indicators. You need to make sure that your data series is sent to back (right-click on the chart -> V...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, SP!

According to the info provided by IB API support “the subscription "European Equities and Derivatives Display Value Bundle" provides data only for display in TWS, and does not provide data to the API”. It won’t be possible to receive this data in MultiCharts unfortunately.

sunsirius,

Sorry for the delayed reply. This was confirmed to be a bug, the fix is currently targeted to MultiCharts 13.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, turbofib!

Regular MultiCharts can only work with PowerLanguage/EasyLanguage, i.e you can only import/export studies in/from MultiCharts in this programming language. As for MultiCharts .NET - it uses C#/VB.NET for studies creation.

Anna MultiCharts

wilkinsw, There's also strange behaviour when the PT WFA finishes: If you close the WFA report and enter the inputs of the last IS run (then maybe extend the end date, like I do), then run a backtest: The resultant performance report doesn't equate to the inputs. If you save that PT file and then re...

Too many (almost double) the number of runs are being estimated for PT WFAs akin to MC. I reported the issue here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51803&p=131727#p131716 ...

Hello, Wapi!

You need to configure the symbol mapping from Webank to IB. Please see this article:

If the error persists after that please post a screenshot of the error message and of the symbol mapping for IB.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw!

I’m afraid there’re no recommended inputs for Portfolio Trader. This feature was introduced for the reworked optimization in MultiCharts 12 for the charts only. Optimization in Portfolio is the same as in MultiCharts 11.
Attached is the comparison pic.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, joebone!

I’m afraid this cannot be done within one workspace. You need to create separate portfolio workspaces, each with different data ranges to be able to optimize the desired time periods.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, sunsirius! We’ve checked your case on our end. Your study works fine when anything but 1 day is selected for the resolution of the main data series.
