MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Anna MultiCharts

tozwp, thank you for commenting on this. As a rule following these steps doesn’t lead to the issue with sounds that you described. If you or anyone else ever encounters this again, please contact support in Live Chat (accessible from our web site http://www.multicharts.com/) to describe any major or...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, tozwp!

Glad you were able to fix this. But could you please recall how you re-installed MultiCharts to the new directory? Were there any errors during the installation? We’d like to reproduce this on our end, so if it is possible to describe what you did that would be perfect.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw!

This will be implemented in the upcoming MultiCharts versions. Unfortunately I cannot tell the ETA at the moment.

Anna MultiCharts

CAGMAD, When you use setstoploss in AA mode then it is calculated both vs chart prices and vs broker prices. So as per your example: 1) on the chart stop loss would be 12314 2) at the broker stop loss would be 12317 To avoid this please use SA mode or write your own stop order for AA mode that will ...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw and kagein! In the upcoming versions of MultiCharts the conversion for CQG will be reworked as follows: -If Buy stop trigger price ( (<=BestAsk) and (<=LastTrade) ) or <=BestBid , then convert and submit market/limit -If Sell stop trigger price ( (>=BestBid) and (>=LastTrade) ) or >=...

Anna MultiCharts

CAGMAD,

On the chart that is trading in AA mode your stop loss will be filled according to the prices on the chart. The orders sent to the broker will be filled according to the broker prices. In 99% those prices will be different.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, shivax!

Email and other kinds of alerts can only be triggered in realtime, i.e in forward testing and live trading.
In backtesting you won’t receive any alerts.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, shivax!

I’m afraid there’s no readymade function for this in PowerLanguage. It will be required to create such function yourself.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, CAGMAD! AA mode is very similar to forward-testing. The prices are taken from the chart, for AA mode that is not possible to get the prices from the broker for the strategy's calculation. If for the stop order generation you use the setstoploss command, then this is a special order. If you us...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, fepra!

You can add an additional counter/input for days and specify the time for your existing inputs from 0000 to 2400. This will allow for resetting the hour-minute counter for the day y after the calculation of the day x is performed.

Anna MultiCharts

automaton,

You can create a PM request for this so that other users could vote for it. The bigger the number of interested users, the more chances there’re for the feature to be implemented faster.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, joenetic!

In the View menu first choose “Show cross” and then also in the View menu go “Tracking Settings” and select “Tracking Time and Price”.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, bluepillrobot!

I’m afraid this field is not available for the optimization report. You can leave a feature request on this page if you’d like to have it available for the optimization report at some point:

Hello, shivax! Please try the following: 1) in TS set the same data range and resolution as in MultiCharts 2) reload the chart in TS 3) reload the chart in MultiCharts 4) if in the TS data feed settings the “Save data to local database” option is enabled, then delete the data for this symbol and cle...

Anna MultiCharts

automaton,

I’m afraid there’s no such PM link. This is our internal intention to readdress this setting behavior in relation to holidays.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw! Our engineers didn’t manage to reproduce this on our end. And we haven’t changed anything in this respect in MultiCharts 11. Will it be possible for you to come to our Live Chat and demonstrate the issue via remote connection MON-FRI from 6:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST (11:30 AM to 5:00 PM...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, automaton! I’m afraid there’s not much you can do about the way holidays are treated by MultiCharts when Bars Back/Days Back setting is chosen for the Data Range on the chart. This is to re reworked at some point, but I’m afraid we cannot give any ETA at the moment. As for now please try sett...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, ctu1121! Please make sure that the symbols are added properly from the data source, that the data range is set for 10 years in the Format Instrument window -> Settings tab. Try to reload you chart (Ctrl + R). If this doesn’t help, try deleting the data and clearing the cache for the symbol in...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, turbofib! If the data for the symbol is coming in realtime, then you should see the last price marker on the chart’s price scale move and the Last price change in the status line. If you don’t see those indications, please make sure they are enabled: - last price marker: Format -> Instrument ...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, rreyes22! Without IOG orders in MultiCharts are generated on the bar close and are sent to the broker on the next bar open. “Next bar” command depends on the IOG setting: if IOG is ON, it will generate the order on the next tick, if IOG is OFF, the order will be generated on the bar close and...

Anna MultiCharts

wilkinsw, in incremental GA a new generation is created after concurrent crossover of as many pairs from the previous population as allowed by the number of available threads (cores). If the population size is significantly bigger than the number of threads, then the result won’t be much different f...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, elitetrader! In older versions of MultiCharts high market volatility caused by news announcement could lead to similar issues, but it is not a crash of MultiCharts. We’ve improved the data handling algorithms in the latest releases of MultiCharts 11 so the realtime data should come fine at th...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Gaetano! 1. I’m afraid this is not possible at the moment. 2. Will it be able to come to our Live Chat to demonstrate the issue via remote connection MON-FRI from 6:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST (11:30 AM to 5:00 PM GMT)? Live Chat is accessible from our web site http://www.multicharts.com/ (at the t...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, shivax! In manual trading you can do that by just counting the number of trades yourself or monitoring them in the Order and Position Tracker. If you need to do that in autotrading, then your strategy should memorize the time of the trades and in case you need more than just one trade a week ...

Anna MultiCharts

firemag, I’m afraid PowerLanguage doesn’t have the ability to access the info you specified and there’s no way you can retrieve it from a dll written in C# by means of PowerLanguage. Please name the exact fields that you’d like to get access to so that I could provide a more precise answer in respec...

Anna MultiCharts

Wilkinsw, Our engineers have tested this case on our side and provided a reply. 1) “Maximum number of generations” should indeed be perceived as “Maximum number of generations per core”. Actually genetic optimization has one hidden parameter in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TS Support\Pow...

Anna MultiCharts

Smoky,

Please, come to our Live Chat that is accessible from our web site http://www.multicharts.com/ (at the top of the page) to demonstrate this issue remotely. We'll be expecting you Mon-Fri from 6:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST (11:30 AM to 5:00 PM GMT).

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, firemag! That is not possible to get the Broker name for the strategy by means of PowerLanguage. You can get the name of the symbol to which your study is applied by using the SymbolName/GetSymbolName keywords: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/SymbolName https://www.mult...

Anna MultiCharts

fede.adv, The strategy on each chart knows about the amount of contracts on it. You can use Global Variables to establish the connection between the charts and use some indicator that will calculate the total amount of contracts for this symbol: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw!

Our engineers are analyzing this case on our side. I'll let you know the results as soon as they are available.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Automeq!

I’m afraid this is the way the visual part works at the moment. It might be enhanced in future, but not in the nearest versions.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Smoky!

Please describe the issue in more details:
What data feed do you use?
Have you tried to reload (Ctrl + R) your chart for @FDXM?
Was MultiCharts closed properly last time? Were there any disruptions in its work?
Haven’t you changed the time on your PC recently?

Anna MultiCharts

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Shivax and Wapi!

Both of the codes seem to be fine.
Shivax, we cannot recommend anything regarding an easier code as it all depends on your goals. Please describe what you need to achieve in more details.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, fede.adv! In autotrading you can use the MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy keyword for this purpose: it returns a numerical value, indicating the number of contracts and the type of position at the broker for the strategy. Please keep in mind that the resulted value will not coincide ...

Anna MultiCharts

tradingest, With your session settings and resolution it won’t be possible to align the bars as their bar close timestamps are different: for @GC you have 20:00, 22:00 and so on timestamps and for EURUSD you have 19:00, 21:00 and so on. If you’d like to align the bars of two data series, please make...

Anna MultiCharts

wilkinsw, regtracer, the feature request was reviewed by our development team and will be implemented in future versions. At the moment it’s hard to tell when this will be exactly.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, tradingest!

I’m afraid that’s not possible to change the symbol on 3 data series of the chart at a time.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, tradingest! Please be more precise about the “slowness” – what time period are you talking about: seconds, minutes, hours? Please send us the logs (Help -> Feedback) with the detailed description of the situation (what instrument, broker, time when the position was opened and when you receive...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, tradingest!

What data feeds, resolution and sessions you have for each of these data series?

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, kagein!

If you use this keyword properly there should be no issues.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw! Unfortunately the implementation of this feature is not planned for the upcoming version, but our developers might come up with a new commission rule that will work differently for different instruments. Please give an example of 2 instruments and the commission/slippage settings fo...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Zheka!

Our engineers have given another thought to your suggestion and they plan to implement this functionality at some point. At the moment it’s hard to tell when this will be.

Anna MultiCharts

Leo,
please, come to our Live Chat MON-FRI from 6:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST (11:30 AM to 5:00 PM GMT) to demonstrate the issue via remote connection. Live Chat is accessible from our web site http://www.multicharts.com/ (at the top of the page).

Anna MultiCharts

Leo,

Please also attach a screenshot of your symbol mapping settings for TS -> IB.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, firemag! Margin values are not supplied for all brokers through their API, so for some of them (as is the case with GAIN) it won’t be possible to get this info from the code. IB do provide this info. Please refer to the following sample code to find the keywords associated with margin and oth...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, ctu1121!

I’m afraid none of these settings will help increasing the data download speed. What has changed in MultiCharts setup when you noticed that the data downloading became slower?

Anna MultiCharts

Leo,

are the orders placed fine? Can you see those orders in the Order and Position Tracker? Is it possible to illustrate the case with screenshots?

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw! "Convert stop orders guaranteed to be executed to market orders" is an optional parameter. When a stop order is placed with the prices: Buy order price <=BestAsk, Sell order price >=BestBid, then we convert them to market orders. With this option enabled the orders that ar...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, whqt!

If you use ASCII mapping please make sure that UpVol and DownVol are properly supplied to your MultiCharts from the mapped file.
I also forwarded this reply to you by email as you sent us an email request. If you still have questions on this matter, please address them to me directly.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, hughesfleming! I’m afraid what you’re trying to do is only possible if you have both MultiCharts 32-bit and 64-bit, cause MultiCharts is installed for all users of the machine and has common database across all users. If you try to launch 2 MultiCharts of one and the same bit you won’t succee...

Hello, ppc!

Haven’t you recently deleted the Order and Position Tracker files from the directory specified in File -> Preferences -> Directories -> Order and Position Tracker files?

Anna MultiCharts

kagein,

No, I’m afraid there’s no way you can access the price of the pending orders from the code.

Anna MultiCharts

raffaele,

I’m afraid there’s no way you can avoid this.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, kagein!

I’m afraid there’s no way you can do that if you’re trading one and the same symbol from multiple charts.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wacketywidge! I’m afraid that is not possible to set the default exchange at the moment. When adding a new symbol for most data feeds that is possible to specify the exchange from which the symbol should be added. When changing the instrument on a chart you can sort the list of them by Exchan...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Zheka!

I’m afraid that is not possible to generate orders in a loop, this is pre-determined behavior.
You can specify the required number of lines for exits or use the SameExitFromOneEntryOnce attribute to achieve your goal.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, rafaelle!

The number of strategies in portfolio equals the number of instruments in it. When you run optimization in Portfolio all strategies are optimized together, so the total number of optimization runs in your case will be 10^6 and not 10*6.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, MJOONIU! You can use the If operator to check if the current bar time corresponds to the specified time interval and generate an order or not depending on this. I’m afraid that’s not quite clear what you understand by “trade” here. If you need to send just one order, then you can use a boolea...

Anna MultiCharts

trader0311, That is also possible to add Optimize by Sharpe Ratio signal for strategies in Portfolio in order to optimize it by Custom Fitness value. At the end of an optimization run there can be only 1 Custom Fitness value for all strategies in Portfolio, so if you need to calculate the total Cust...

Hello, jek!

Implementing this feature is planned for one of the future MultiCharts versions. Potentially it may be introduced next year in MultiCharts 13 or 14, but it’s not possible at the moment to define the exact timeframe.

Hello, momentum!

I’m afraid there’re no PowerLanguage keywords that allow accessing Volume Delta/Imbalance Delta values from the code of a study, though these values can be accessed in MultiCharts .NET.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Smoky! If I get it correctly from your description, usually you’re able to get the data in MultiCharts, but from time to time the data stops coming, right? Do you get the data in IB TWS at times when you don’t receive the data in MultiCharts? If yes, please come to our Live Chat when the issu...

Hello, Zheka! Our engineers have analyzed this and came to the conclusion that there’s no difference between the indicator plots in MultiCharts and in TS. Please, see the screenshot. 1.png The difference between “emavola = XAverage(vola, period);” and “variables: emavola(xAverage(vola, period))” is ...

Anna MultiCharts

firemag,

I'm afraid to achieve this goal you need to have 2 separate MultiCharts, as one MultiCharts can have only one QuoteManager (which is database). Sorry if my previous answer confused you.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, TraderWalrus!

Reload allows to request the data from the data source anew and is intended to rectify the issue with incorrect data. Once the data is reloaded, the newly received data is stored to the local database and the erroneous old data is deleted from it.

If this doesn’t help, in QuoteManager please right-click on this symbol -> Delete Data and then Clear Cache. Then reload the chart again.

Hello, waveslider! I’m afraid we haven’t introduced any keyword for limiting entries. If you need to limit the number of entries for the day, you can compare the value returned by Portfolio_CurrentEntries with the one you need (10, as in your example), and make so that the entry orders are not gener...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, firemag! For trading correct symbol mapping is important. When you use different data feed and broker then you need to adjust the data feed symbol settings according to the broker symbol settings. In autotrading the prices are rounded off according to the price scale of the chart so that the ...

Anna MultiCharts

Zheka,

we're currently analyzing this. We'll post a reply from the engineers when it's available.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, firemag!

According to the script and screenshots you provided the orders are sent simultaneously because both conditions are met. If you don’t need SellShort to be sent after a position is opened, you need to adjust your code accordingly.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, kagein!

If you’re referring to backtesing then the calculations are carried out on the bar close (barstatus = 2) that is why you have the results.
Barstatus = 0 or 1 which represent bar open or inside status will not work in backtesting, only in realtime.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, ppc! You can change the Status Line font size in Format -> Window -> Status Line -> Size. To use this setting as default please check the “Use as Default” and this setting will be applied to all new charts (until you change the setting). For the existing charts it’ll be required to manually c...

as we don't see the way your function/variable is calculated we cannot recommend anything.
Please, provide the full code so that our engineers could analyze it.

Anna MultiCharts

Zheka,

Yes, we confirm that for FX instruments in Portfolio mid-point data is requested.

Anna MultiCharts

Zheka,

In Live trading MultiCharts or Portfolio will always subscribe to Ask and Bid data as these prices are necessary for trading itself and for calculation such values as Open P/L.

Anna MultiCharts

Maxima,

if you'd like to get an API for developing a data feed connection, please, contact us by e-mail: support@multicharts.com and we'll provide you the info on this matter.

Hello, Automeq!

Hello, Trader Walrus! Keeping in mind that pmms_strategies_in_positions_count refers to the strategies that already have open positions, you need to modify your script the way that pmms_strategy_set_entry_contracts is not called under the condition, but at the exact moment. You need to make so that ...

Radekj, It’s understood that you used historical data, but the principle of Real-time History Matching working is the same in backtesting. As I mentioned, for several bars of Data Series #1 you receive the data (including timestamps) for one and the same bar of Data Series #2. If RTH matching option...

Hello, TraderWalrus! Let me address your questions in order: 1. pmms_strategy_set_entry_contract is called when the strategy has already entered a position. 2. You can do that through Global Variables — the strategy should calculate the trade size and then send it to PMMS through GV or it can take t...

Hello, bowlesj3! Most likely you’ve got different symbol and indicator settings. You need to make sure that symbol settings (Quote Field, Sessions, Resolution, Data Range) and MaxBarsBack setting of the indicator are the same on the chart and in the Scanner. The MaxBarsBack setting for the indicator...

The only way you can transmit this value is through a strategy's input.

Hello, TraderWalrus!

I’m afraid there’s no such pre-built signal or any other study. You will need to create it yourself or search for it on the Internet, as there’s quite a number of free available studies written in EasyLanguage/PowerLanguage.

Fbertram,

It should be possible to pass the data from C# to Excel. Please, search for the relevant instructions on the Internet.

Hello, wzero! An order may get partially filled if the volume is not sufficient for this order to be filled fully. As for the second issue, we do not modify the data that we receive from a data feed. If eSignal sends the data that is a multiple of 100, then it will be necessary to change the quantit...

Hello, fbertram! I’m afraid this can’t be done from commissions’ settings, as commission is applied to orders/trades, and it’s not calculated on the monthly or annual basis. The only way you can include this fee to the commission is to know the exact number of trades your strategy performs within a ...

In the SA mode the countdown starts after an order has been submitted to the broker. ...
