I'm using the setstoploss keyword in my strategy trading forex pairs. The value of the stop amount I get seems to be in the symbol currency rather than the base currency I have set in the strategy properties. I have assumed this because the loss amounts do not match the value I set and they seem to ...

Let's say I have a strategy auto trading that uses an exit rule based on the BarsSinceEntry keyword. It opens a trade. If something happens and MC has to be rebooted I will leave the trade open and then use the Assign Initial Market Position option when I restart the terminal. I can tell MC at what ...

This was a great idea! I have managed to do this using csv files, a separate function and Global Variables. I use one function to save entry names, times, contracts, etc, to a csv file every time the position changes. Then whenever I restart auto trading I call another function in my signals that ch...

Thanks ABC found the sample indicators. I got to the bottom of it in the end. It was the "if CurrentBar = 1". By changing it to "LastBarOnChart" it started working. I'm not sure why to be honest as I was thinking the Current Bar being 1 is the bar we are on now, which is also the last bar on the cha...

Does anyone have a working code that uses Global Variables that they would be willing to share?

I could then test run this in my platform and compare to my code and try to see where I am going wrong. I'm not sure if it's a coding issue or issue with the DLL installation.

Thanks.

Ok, here is the full code. I am working on a process for position recovery if auto trading is cut out for some reason. I am trying to write a function that my signals will call when auto trading is turned on. If there is an open trade on the symbol this function will check a csv file for the last ma...

Ok I have read the documentation. It sounds like my code is fine, but still getting errors.

It's not setting the values into the variables correctly. The following code gives me a result of "-1".
Any idea what could be going wrong?

I'm having trouble using Global Variables. I have imported the zip file found on the forum so I have the functions now available in PL editor. I have not been able to find any documentation on how to use them though. I've had a go using the following code but I have no values coming through in the G...

Hi ABC, Thanks yes this has worked great. This has actually also helped me to understand better what the code is doing. I ran ListX.Count on the ListC_ID variable which gives the number of columns. Then ran it Date_ID and it gives me the number of records. I had adapted this code from some forum pos...

Thanks, this has worked!

It seems the "marketposition<>0 condition does not work with the SL if need it to be executed straight away. I assume it must not pick up the marketposition change until the next bar.

Does anyone know how to read the last row from a file with EL Collections? I am reading in a standard csv file. I have managed to figure out how to point at certain row numbers. But what happens if you don't know how many records are in the file. There is no end of file marker in my data. I have tri...

So I want to open a trade and set a stoploss order straight away based on a number of points from the opening price. The code I am using is: if MarketPosition=0 AND EntryFilter=True then BEGIN; SL = AvgTrueRange(20) * Multiple; BUY ("LE") 1 Contract next bar at Open; END; if MarketPosition<>0 AND SL...

Hi, I have an issue with using the "assign initial market position" after there has been a loss of connection and MC is restarted. After there has been a connection loss I want to leave trades open and MC pick up managing them where it left off once everything is reconnected. The problem is I manage...

Hi ABC,

Good idea!.. I think the text file could work. I could print the data from TS to a file, and then map the file to a symbol in Quote Manager. I wonder if the data would auto update in MC when the file changes if I used the ASCII mapping option.

Thanks!

Hi Josh, TS offer the COT data in real time, well I guess it's updated weekly but there is a COT indicator in the platform that you can load to a chart and it gives you the graphs for comm/non-comm etc. I use TS as a data feed so I wondered if there is a way to get the data to feed into Multicharts ...

Is it possible to get the TS Commitment of Traders data into MultiCharts? In TS there appears to be an indicator that displays the Net Position or Total Position for futures markets. This must be based on some raw data feed so I wondered if it's possible to import this into Quote Manager like the ot...

Thanks Svetlana, I have re-mapped all of the symbols and this has resolved the issue.

Since writing this it has happened again, very frustrating. Strange thing I hadn't even closed the platform. I even still had charts loaded with data from the ASCII source. It just wouldn't let me load new charts. I have had to close MC and Quote Manager. Re-open Quote Manager and re-import the data...

Hi, I have set up a large number of symbols in Quote Manager using ASCII Mapping as the data source, pointing at files saved on my hard drive. I right-click the symbol then Import Data > ASCII > then select my file to load. This works fine for a while but then Quote Manager seems to keep losing the ...

I have just checked it and it will overwrite the minute data with the daily unless I specify the date periods.

If I set the date period for the Provider 2 to 1997-2009 then it just fills the gap, which is what I am after.

Thanks for the help, appreciated!

Hi TJ, I plan to do this for about 10 symbols. Thanks for the suggestion I've just tried this and it seems to have worked. I created a new symbol in Quote Manager. Imported Provider 1 1m data (2009-2018) from an ASCII file. Then imported Provider 2 daily data (1997-2017) to the same Symbol. When I p...

Hi All, I have historical data from two providers. Provider 1 = 1m data, 2009-2018. Provider 2 = Daily data, 1997-2017. Is it possible to merge these two data sources in MultiCharts, either in Quote Manager or on a chart so I can plot daily charts 1997-2018 using this data? I would be using this for...
