As far as i know, its only possible to fetch historic up down volume bars, from TS, trough MC... no other provider provides this, as far as I know.

IB seems to force users to upgrade gateways and tws, I am on 10.20 and received this popup last night after logging in, there has been lots of reports of MC having issues when using the latest version of gateway... can mc confirm please if latest release from IB gateway is working as expected or not...

Salzburg

Hi,

It would be awesome if at some point, the MC devs could add the possibility to to tag the order that is sent to IB with the strategy name.
I think lots of people would be grateful for such a feature.

Just my 2 cents

Salzburg

I am interested in the Python bridge, is this proprietary or something you want to share to the community ?

Nice work you done,

Salzburg

Thank you for sharing your indicators, would you be able to share your Workspace, I struggle to get the same view as you share in your pics.. thanks .. looks interesting

Salzburg

Hi All, A quick question, what is your restart time for IB Gateway that you have found most stable, and that you use ? Does anyone know if this chosen restart time, would be any different depending on what IB server you have chosen to connect to ? Such as Zug, Chicago or HK for example. I was told b...

Salzburg

I believe you could solve that by creating a custom session ending 1min before real close, lets say 830-1559 eastern.. I used to do that when i used mc for trading equities on daily bars. Should work on Weekly bars to.. if not just configure strat to use daily bars instead to simulate weekly timefra...

Salzburg

I agree with this, its absolutely madness, to shut down MC and stop autotrading, after it already have been authorized at start. We as traders when auto trading live, already spending huge amount of time and money to reduce risks, this, is a huge risk that we are unable to mitigate. I cant see, any ...

Just wanted to see if there are others that are experiencing that charts becomes frozen?, in this case from IB, while bid ask is working.

Hi Alex,

IB data is and will most likely always be slow to reload due to IB pace violation etc, , try other providers like IQ etc and you will see that its very fast in MC.
Imho, IB data is really horrible to deal with and cant/should not be used for any testing.

Salzburg

Not knowing if you issue is related to this, but there exist a confirmed critical bug in MC, related to SetExitOnClose that makes your orders not always exit at the bar close. Its caused by "caused by unexpected BarStatus value." in MC and its confirmed to be fixed in a "later" release. Just a frie...

Hi,

After reviewing the binance api documentation and information from MC, about binance setup, i am a
bit unsure of how one would setup MC to work against Binance test account/paper trading, so one can test executions.

Have anyone managed to set this up in MC ?

Thanks

Thank you Vlada for the hotfix, so far charts are loading up very quickly and difference in speed of platform, huge... Before all was sluggish, now it feels like you turbocharged the platform with this fix. I hope also the chart freezes are also gone.. Thanks for the help in order to use V14...

I am surprised that to this day, despite problem was reported based on this thread in November last year, that freezing of live data charts from IB, IQ, CGQ etc, still happens, since i can now verify the problem myself in IQ DTN, and above mentioned antimalware trick did not solve it, have anyone ac...

No I did not make any changes in the registry, and it has worked before.
Why not share the information in this specific thread? might help other users also.

Only change i have in registry is "last bar update" but this was done several years ago.

Dear Kate, when could we expect a new version release of 14 ?

Agree about MC 14. I find MC 12 much less unreliable, in general. I'm thinking that some of problems might relate to how stop orders are processed. I have always used the default option to use native stop orders. But I have noticed that from time to time that stop orders are sent by MC to IB TWS, b...

TraderGuy, ok i see.

As far as i know, there is no possibility to use any "mapping file", import etc.

We can import symbols to add or import data, but not mapping ?

Perhaps i have missed something?

TraderGuy, just curious, how do you go about then mapping all these symbols you imported ? I have not founded another way than trough great pain mapping (in my case) iq dtn symbol x, to IB SMART for symbol x.. This cant be done without manually doing it for each unique symbol..(unless you use broker...

Hi Joebone,

No issues at any point with data from IQ, either data drops, or reconnection attempts.
I am however still running MC 12 for live trading server, since its impossible to understand if MC14 has known bugs that causes crashes and data drops.

Are you running MC14 ?

Salzburg

Agree, IQ had been rock solid for me also, however during recent months there has been 2 confirmed internet issues from their side, (confirmed by their support staff) that caused reconnection attempts in iq appication, not dataloss though. I doubt however that IQ is the cause for all the data loss/i...

Yeah, well.

Cool, Salzburg. Can I ask how often you restart your systems? Do you have a "weekend restart" or anything like that? What's the longest time you've been running your algos without touching them in MC/PT? c0ontango, I restart MC every weekend. I restart Server every weekend, I restart IQ feed every ...

My few cents on the matter... been live trading system with MC for several years.. always waiting until new version is stable before updating, so i am lagging 2-3 versions back in order to make sure things are as stable as possible. Still using MC12. Live trading intraday systems on 7 future markets...

After reading all the issue people are having with MC14, and datafeeds stopping during livetrading etc.. I feel that it is not really safe to use for live trading the currently released of 14..

Yes this is a pain for Stock traders... to maintain a list for example all SP500 stocks going forward is problematic in MC... but most of all, it does not support to be able to backtest without hindsight bias, ie its not possible in MC to decide to use or not use a symbol that at the time of the tra...

Same issue here... only solution is be forced to sign up for their larger software, and then like a miracle, data manager will work... its just a way for them to force people to pay more for a software that some people like you and and me dont want or need..

Why not share it for everyone on the forum since almost everyone have the same issue, i would assume that better then to have everyone email a separate request? also might enable users that is not aware, to perhaps fix the issue before they become aware and it causes potential issues ?

Are you sure it would not be possible to send the strategy name as a tag, according to IB that would be possible..

Salzburg

Would it not be possible to "tag" each trade trough IB API from Multichart with strategy name? according to IB they support tags trough their api.
In that way it would be easy to distinguish trades per system when you analyse result at broker.

Salzburg

Hi Henry, Well they are saying that they made you aware of the issue many years ago, and now you are saying this.

For 7 years I've always just added "C" to "#". Job done. You'll find that not all IQfeed tickers are searchable in MC. I'd use the IQfeed apps to search if you get stuck.

The bug i am referring to, is that its impossible to search for a future contract in quotemanager, and find both the non adjusted symbol and adjusted symbol, for example qcl# and then the adjusted qcl#c, these symbols which are unique are provided by IQ DTN, and when i contacted them they said that ...

What do you mean by "need to build a new custom future"? All you need is to set up the artificial symbol once, and MC will do the back adjusting for you on the fly. ps. I am not trying to persuade you not to seek the solution you want. Thank you TJ for your advice, and it would for sure work, i am ...

Is there any reason you do not want to use MultiCharts' Custom Futures?

Salzburg

Hi, I got the G++ EXE issue, a few weeks ago, i then researched and found issue in the forum, i then uninstalled and then installed again, and that solved the problem, lots of headache though having to do this.
