Charting + quote processing is also my priority, changing charts resolution is not as fast.

Also, please give us:

1. Hotkeys
2. OHLC bars that can be colored by default ... not just one color

TJ, I have used a code similar to this in AB, all I am trying to do is to use MC instead, which is my platform of choice. Note: code below is just an example, not exactly the logic I presented in my previous post. SetTradeDelays( 0, 0, 0, 0 ); //All buys and sells take place on same bar as signal Se...

TJ, I understand this is possible on the ES but I would like to view 50+ stocks and downloading long periods of intraday data is nearly impossible ... I have eSignal and the limit is 120 days ... I'm still puzzled as this seems like a 'basic' feature to me... we are talking about connecting to one o...

Same here, I'm surprised this wasn't tested -- is the new beta fixing this issue?

Bruce, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation. You are absolutely right regarding your comment that this procedure will work on TS but not on Multicharts. Regarding the gap fading backtest I belive the only time we 'break' the rule is when we look at the next day'...

Hi, I have a strategy that I'm using to backtest gaps on the ES using Daily Bars and I look at tomorrow's open for entry... it's running fine on TS but I get the following error in Multicharts: "Cannot use next bar's price (date or time) and close order in the same signal" I'm running MC 5.5. Can an...

HA HA... Very nice, thanks ABC ... that did the trick for this indicator as well as other indicators.

Think I've figure it out, for some reason it only works in MC if you use 'Screen Scalling' where as in TS it works in other scaling modes...

Thanks for your help guys.

Just an easy STRG+R will solve the problem and data will be re-loaded. That's it. Easy thing. Kind regards. Mike Piranha, agreed, but the problem I'm scanning thorough 100+ stocks every day... kind of annoying to press CTRL+R all the time... PLUS, makes you uncomfortable about what you are really "...

Andrew/Tekram, thanks for the responses. Andrew -- You are correct on the dates, but I'm mostly comparing the daily results as per the screenshots (very different as you can see)... I'm not even comparing the total results. Tekram -- my system does not use same bar stops or exits and I make sure the...

Hi everyone, I'm puzzled here by how different the backtest/peformance results are from TS and Multicharts. I am using TS data in Multicharts, the very same formula, the same settings AND obviously the same amount of data. The results are very different as you can see from the screenshots... Hoping ...

Tom, thanks for the reply. I also found some information on the forum (close to nada) and it was not very helpful.

Just want to cast my vote here, this a significant drawback for MC and very discouraging for anyone wishing to automate using this product.

Thanks for the replies guys, very informative.
