Re: Conditional colouring of slope on MA

I use a moving average that colour codes the line to identify up or down slope.

Hi Bob, At the moment, there is no way to save the created session as a Custom Session Template. What you can do (I am not sure if it will address your particular situation) is create your particular session for a particular exchange (in Tools -> Exchanges and ECN's). In this case, all the symbols f...

Hi Tim,

When you say that MC hangs on startup, does it ever start on its own? How long do you wait for before you reboot your PC? Does it start without any problems after the reboot?

Hi Tresor, The volume spikes in your screenshot look abnormal. The bar with the volume of 2,781 is huge and it could have resulted only after the original tick was split into 5 bars: 4 having the volume of 1,000 and 1 having the volume of 2,781. I checked tick data in TS for the whole of 01/26/2009 ...

Hi oakshadows,

It is not a mistake by TT. The entry that you are referring to is talking about a different product of ours.

In MultiCharts, TT will be added as a broker later this year.

Hi Tresor, In your MC charts you were plotting daily bars. TransAct does not provide daily bars as a resolution, therefore MultiCharts plots daily bars from TransAct using minutes. The daily volume for such bars will be a sum of all the volumes for minute data. If the sessions in QuoteManager are se...

Hi Shortski,

I was not aware that you were using 4.0 release. What I suggested would, indeed, work only for MC 5.0 beta 2.

Gold Release (the next official release) is planned for the end of February - beginning of March.

There have been lots of changes since MC 2.1

The toolbar behavior has also undergone considerable changes. In our engineers tests, toolbars have not been changing their location after a chart window has been activated.

If you use the synchronous auto trading mode, you will see a corresponding order on your chart. If you use the asynchronous mode, then you will need to check the position in the broker's platform.

Hi ts2mc,

How are you going to find out what the close price is going to be? Every new tick is actually a new price for close. If you write 'buy next bar market' (IOG is on), MC will buy at the close price of the next tick.
