Sellshort worked for me - thanks TJ

Can't seem to get my SELL signal to work in my signal

Buy ("Entry") next bar at open; --- works fine

when I replace that line with the following -- no trades are entered
Sell ("Short Entry") next bar at open;


I would expect this to be pretty straight forward

Any suggestions

I have a signal I have written that I modified for development. I simply added a new input parameter plus some logic to limit daily trades (If I get stopped out etc...) I started by modifying the original signal saving it with the original name i.e. "B Levels Simple" - I then decided to save it with...

I have used auto hot key to automate start up of multicharts and auto login of TS data - but am just trying to set up for real money trading - my previous platform is no longer supported by gain (the last api that worked) and esignal data says they will no longer support my third party older platfor...

Thank you - so I am downloading 15 -20 years of data yet in the TS download scheduler I have to right click "Schedule ASAP" for 30 days at a time or I can highlight several months at a time and schedule ASAP - it seems like there might be a better way to download years of data - is there an easier/f...

I just installed MC and TS 10.0 on a new pc. When I develop systems i like to have 15 to 20 years of ES continuous data. The MC chart with this data I want never completes backfilling - when I look at TS they provide me with a download scheduler with some but not all of my data requested postponed t...

I just added GAIN Brokerage as one of my brokers and it still defaults to 9200 which after reading I changed to 9210 (original post was for MC.net) I would think that MC broker setup should have changed by now but Maybe that setting was left over from an earlier version and was not auto updated -. W...

TJ - I looked in quote manager and opened the "edit data window" a symbol I was interested in and loaded 1 minute data for a symbol (ES.D) I was interested in and I did have the data go all the way back to early 2000. I then exited Multicharts and made sure nothing was running including the TS serve...

Henry - I experience the same problem Mark Brown is having all the time - I'm saving 20 years of 1 minute data for system development from TS - I understood that cached data was stored to local database when I exit the chart/workspace but every time I reopen my workspace with the chart I go through ...

Can Multicharts broker capability directly log into a GAIN Capital block account (as opposed to a normal client account) which ultimately would allow trades to be allocated to different accounts based on predefined rules defined via GAIN's Trade Manager tool - sort of like Interactive Brokers Friend...

I recently receive notification that the GAIN OEC Trade API was updated to now use a two digit date for the year in futures contracts. For example ESZ8 went to ESZ18.

Will the MC order server/api work with the latest changes for OEC Trader / GAIN api changes? If not is there a planned update.

Thanks

Why don't you let your customer take responsibility - please don't baby sit us ...Neoticker allows this - I have been doing things this way for years. And ultimately I will just do a less than elegant work around so in the end you might as well provide the option anyway,.

Thx TJ and Smoky... To not completely be able to automate is truly unfortunate. With Tickquest Neoticker - I can completely automate startup...unfortunately Neoticker no longer seems to provide support and their broker API has not been kept up to date - right now with GAIN capital I need to enter du...

Thanks Anna and Smoky, Turns out that I didn't realize I had to turn on the automation from either the chart or the format pull-down menu. My apologies. Next question - how can I completely automate startup of an automated strategy.... At the moment I reboot my trading pc every morning at 6 am using...

I recently ported one of my automated systems from Neoticker to MultiCharts and am running it for the first time on a demo account at GAIN Capital. I have a few questions and hoping someone would help out please. 1) If upon opening your charted system and the system is currently long but you miss th...

Resolved as follows change the symbol settings for $ADV. To do this, please go to File -> New -> QuoteManager -> find $ADV in the list of symbols and right-click on it -> Edit Symbol -> Settings tab -> Use custom settings -> change the Price Scale to As is -> OK. Then please reload your chart (Ctrl ...

glad you got it sorted out

Follow - up - I spoke with esignal today and all they populate for advancing issues and other breadth related data is the last field based on displaying the information in the esignal data monitor. They update that field every six seconds - if you plot the $ADV from esignal in a chart you get a flat...

Hello, For those of you who are using MC with an esignal datafeed - are you able to plot/display breadth data such as $ADV advancing issues? When I attempt to display it I get a flat line for intraday bar. I want to display the OHLC of advancing issues for different intraday time frames i.e. 15 minu...
