MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

deobisnath

Dear All:

I am using MC for system testing and development, haven't used it since February, but now I want to use it again - however, OT is out of business.

Please recommend and advise on a real time data feed for stocks, futures, and options that supply data feed to MC.

Thanks,

I also have this problem! The time scale lags by an hour. I am using 'Local' time setting, which right now is 10:14 am but the chart time scale is at 9?:14 am. How do we rectify this problem? Even when I change the start and end times in the code to 815 and 1515, I am still not generating entries. T...

I am afraid this is how it is in both MC and TS. If your entry orders are buy/sell next bar at market then you the entry price is simply the open of the next bar; if not, then you can calculate the entry price with a bit of reverse engineering: MyCurrentContracts = CurrentContracts ; MyAvgEntryPrice...

Excellent thread on a important featuer than can provide a quantim leap for MC. Like many others here, I have invested much time in MC and we want MC to be the best. MC Version 3 has been a great improvement, a vastly superior product. I am closer to dumping TS which I now run parallel with MC. The ...

Dear All: Please help with the following: I am testing strategies with 1 minute historical data, not real time. Is it possible, after a test, to plot the buys/sells on a 5-m or an chart with a longer timeframe. This would be much better than scrolling many many screens of 1-m data to view the entrie...

Dear All:
I would like to have a quotes window with symbol, ohlc, bid/ask, as a minimum. I am assuming this is available in MC but I can't locate info on it.
How can I do this?

Thanks,

Dear All: I am sure this topic may have been discussed before but a search does not produce what I require. In C++, I coded simple routines to validate each bar of realtime and historical data, e.g high >=open, close, low; close not more than a certain % of previous close - to catch really bad data,...

I coded a function to do return the highest daily close; your comments? suggestions etc

Inputs: numberdays(numericsimple) ;

Variables: highval(-1);

For value1 = 1 To numberdays
Begin
If HighD(value1) > highval Then
highval = HighD(value1);
End;

HighestD = highval;

deobisnath

deobisnath, what you are describing can be achieved in a number of ways by writing an indicator but this lies in the sphere of custom programming and is done for a fee. Can you refer me to these custom programmers? I am interested in hiring one to write a few functions that were written in C++ for ...

Hi:
How can I determine the number of positions opened today? and whether positions opened today were long or short/

Thanks for your help. I am considering a
% of day condition, e.g. open position only if 25% of day has passed.

is there a % day function in EL?

Hi: One condition in my trading systems is a certain percent od day must have passed - how do I code this ? And, related to this, is to buy/sell after a particular time of day, e.g. Buy after 10:30 am but before 16:00; how can this be coded in Power language? I am using the AvgTrueRange function - w...

Hi all: Where can I find information about the signals in the INSERT STUDY dialog? e.g. ATR trgt and Trail L X and SX. What does this mean?

Where do I get a tutorial? or info on learning Power Language.
