MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

I subsribed twice to decision bar and used it on the equity indices futures intraday. I could not get it to work. Decision bar support was not helpful. They said it did not work well, at least at that time, on the equity indices. I am hoping someone can say they have used the recent upgrades and it ...

Hi that is not the problem, always been set to update every tick.

Hi What i am trying to get on multicharts which as i have mentioned exists for esignal and tradesstation is the indicator that ts support created for esignal--called moving average and price crossover. it is in your tssupport knowledgebase but only for esignal. can you write it for multicharts? the ...

traderwep

Mult doesnt seem able to support this simple study so i will go back to esignal for now which has it standard.

wayne

traderwep

yes i have. thanks

traderwep

Hi I worked with your code above and have it working now somewhat crudely. I think it is accurate on the bars, but the bar high and bar low do not cover the entire price bar all the time. so some bars have a different color middle

thanks

Hi What i am asking is so simple i an frustrated that i cannot communicate it clearly. If a price bar closes above the 20 simple moving average then candle colors blue. If price bar closes below the 20 simple moving average then candle color red. it is best if this is realtime coloring as the bar pr...

Hi Stanley. Thanks. This code does not seem to work properly on a 377 contract russell chart with a 20SMA .

traderwep

Hi I dont have TS so i cant post it. I am told it is based on an indicator or function called <avg and >avg to create the paintbars.

Hi Stanley. I am looking for a sample code. I know it is really simple but i dont know how to do it. Plot a 20 simple moving average on a chart. price bars closing above the 20SMA are blue colored and price bars closing below the 20SMA are red colored. All price bars are a solid color blue or red de...

traderwep

thanks. i did get it imported but get the array bounds -4500 error message. did anyone figure out the problem with that. i am using a 1 min day only chart. esignal data and dec 18 multicharts build.

thanks

wayne

traderwep

no, the code posted at the start of this thread. it is just code when i try to download it not an indicator i can import to multicharts.

how does one import it to multicharts.

thanks

wayne

traderwep

it says error code 6 when i try to import it in read only mode. can this be fixed?

traderwep

hi on latest beta the up and down control menus do not work. the side to side do but not the up down.

traderwep

Hi thanks it does seem to be working realtime now with sound and visual alert. just what i needed

wayne

traderwep

ok, i thought close meant close of a price bar? i dont want the close of the price bar but the actual price as it is moving around. the latest realtime price. i will try it with close, however, and see what happens.

wayne

traderwep

hi this is the code i am using inputs: AlertLevel(0); if (last crosses above AlertLevel) then alert("Program Trading Sell Sell"); it compiles without error. it doesnt seem to work though. i watched as price crossed realtime over the price i had input and there was no alert given. is there a problem ...

traderwep

thank you. i know it is simple but i needed a place to start. i changed close to last and separated the over and under into two separate indicators. they did compile so i am hoping it will work as i want. thanks again.

traderwep

hi thanks for the info. i have used multicharts for quite a while and TS before that but i have no clue whatsoever how to write a simple code using price and setting alerts.

traderwep

Is it possible to set price alerts in multicharts. for example i am using the esignal symbol $EPREM and wjould like an audio alert when it reaches a certain level up and a certain level down. the levels so not change once set in the morning. another way would be to be able to have an audio alert on ...

traderwep

thanks but i have no idea how to do that. i am trying to keep it simple. is there a way to pre setup a drawing indicator so i could set it at a price and it would draw lines .7 above and below? i was looking at the equidistant line indicator but it does not plot or i dont know how to get it to plot ...

traderwep

is there a way to have a drawing tool that allows one to click on a bar and it will draw lines or make a mark .7 above and .7 below the close of the bar that is clicked on? i would use this on the russell which is in tenths. or if not a drawing tool some kind of indicator that would do the same? tha...

traderwep

hi chris

thanks, i got it working.

wayne

traderwep

Is there a way to plot an RSI and a moving average of that RSI in the same indicator pane in multicharts?

traderwep

hi thanks for the advice. do you know where one can download that build?

thanks

wayne

traderwep

i dont want to try multicharts again until the crashing issue has been fixed. it would be a waste of time and mess up my computer again.

has it been fixed yet?

thanks
wayne

traderwep

yes, i get that all the time. MC does not end all the processes on closing. i have to turn off my computer to get it to completely shut down. that i think is part of the crashing problem.

traderwep

i have a similar problem and it has existed as long as i have had multicharts. it keeps going bad, sometimes a few days, sometimes each day. i stopped using it and went to wave59. i would like multi to work. i have done the tech support thing and it got a new version installed but it stopped working...

traderwep

hi there are indicators i would like to use but the code is locked. my understanding is that multicharts will not run locked code.

when will multicharts be able to run locked code?

wayne

traderwep

hi i downloaded the elliot osc and it is installed under signals in multicharts. it does not display on the chart anywhere.

how to i get it to display. i am using version 1.90.449.1165

traderwep

thanks for this code. i have been spending what seems like endless hours looking on the internet for demark TS code

traderwep

today the zg indicators are updating, although sometimes a bit slow, not right at the open like the currencies do, but working well enough to use. so i will just see what happens tomorrow. thanks. wayne

hi below is the TS code for the td sequential strategy. it shows up in signals but i cannot get it to show up on a chart in multicharts. it compiles but has a red check instead of a yellow one in the power editor. what does a red check mean? i do not know how to change this to an indicator. if someo...

hi i am trying to obtain a td sequential suite for multicharts and cannot find it anywhere. i am even thinking of switching to bloomberg because they off the demark indicators. i am starting a trial of it next week. any guidance as to how to find the indicators for multicharts would be greatly appre...

traderwep

hi i forgot to list the version although the person who remotely accessed my chart saw it. my version is 1.9.449.1165

traderwep

i have imported a strategy into multicharts and it compiled properly. it is listed under studies and i have added it to my chart but it does not show up on the chart anywhere.

do the "signals" part of multicharts work? if so, how do i get it to show up on a chart. thanks

wayne

traderwep

hi i called support as you suggested. the person said they will look into it. i called esignal the data provider and they have no ecbot problems with data. the symbols are zg q6 or yg q6. neither of them update the indicators except on bar close. they used to update each tick and they are checked to...

traderwep

hi it is not that simple. he does disclose them in his books publicly so they are not proprietary. i have one of them T REI. Others are available in AB, linnsoft, prophet, cqg and other platforms. there is much discussion in TS forums as well but since i am not a ts member any longer i cannot access...

traderwep

i am looking for the TS (multicharts) code for demark indicators. i am having a hard time finding any. i see it for other platforms but not TS.

i am wondering if anyone has TS code for demark indicators they would make available. my email is traderwep@gmail.com

traderwep

hi i have a workspace with 3 currencies and gold. the currencies update all indicators realtime. until yesterday the gold updated realtime as well. today the gold is always one bar behind on all indicators. it has update each tick checked. nothing changed from yesterday when it worked--and days befo...

traderwep

how do i get pats data into multicharts. i went to quote manager etc. and input all the stuff. i cant seem to get it to connect. it says winsock error all the time.

traderwep

i am downloading the new version now. every time i start multicharts it says it is checking for a new version so i thought i always have the latest version.

if that is not so, what is multicharts checking for when it says it is checking for new version and finds nothing?

wayne

traderwep

In the study code you need to write, where necessary: alert( "your message" ); When creating a chart with your study go to Format Study ->Alerts tab, enable alerts and check Audio. i added the alert language to the code and it compiled correctly so i think i did that right. i cannot find any format...

traderwep

i dont know what code to add to an indicator in multicharts to get an audio alert when a coded event happens. the event shows as a color change on my chart but i need audio as well. please advise. thanks wayne
