has anyone run NxCore with Multicharts scanner?
or any other super-feed like NxCore... it would be great if Multicharts included a dll for interfacing NxCore, the scanner will work with 5000 issues, it takes a super-feed to supply that. TS2000 would do that many issues with DTN Satellite but that feed is phasing out in favor of NxCore...

I could figure that out from the strategy view if price is traded through but I can't do that if price is touched. In...

Re: I am talking about direct order line drawing on the char
not from the script. yes you can, script reads the line parameters (tl_get functions) and places a market order, piece of cake... if you want to emulate a limit order let the price touch your line then move one tick in your favor and hit the market with your market order or trigger off the bid/ask....

Hello
There was talk of a dll or some sort of script enhancement software that would enable for trading from an indicator. It was to be released after Multicharts 2.1 was out of beta, is there an ETA on that?
