I would like to add Taiwan to the list at the moment. However the thing is that I don't know what other countries/exchanges I may need in the future and asking MC every time to add a new country and hope it would appear in the next build seems counter productive. Is it possible to allow the user to ...

Hi,

Hi Andrew, Is there any update with the problem described in this thread?

The above suggested work around to ch...

Checking BARSTATUS is a standard practice for sync critical analysis in multi-data studies. Hi TJ thanks for the reply. The "sync problem" in Problem #2 above is *created* by MC and shouldn't have happened in the first place. For example we don't have this problem when RHM is turned on (default). T...

glam_100

Problem #1 (RHM on): In realtime Line2 simply won't run. This is because with RHM turned on (by default) MC would simply stops calculating at the earliest session-end of all data series referenced (in this case data2 stops at 1500). In backtest we don't see this problem because we have tomorrow's d...

The following behavior has been confirmed by MC (ie. not imagined by me) but they don't view it as a bug. Thus it would only be fixed if enough people would vote for it.

The correct implementation should be this: For indicators/studies: - The calculation should continue as long as there is a new bar created on the series that indicator/studies is based on. For strategies/signals: - The calculation should continue as long as there is a new bar created on Data1. This ...

glam_100

Hi evdl, Thanks for the reply. Un-checking that option doesn't solve the fact that during real-time trading the signal will stop calculating until the next bar of Data2 appears, which is tomorrow.

The language of my OS is traditional chinese.

MC has no problem displaying the error msg for other types of error though. For example max bar back exceed error was displayed properly.

Looks like MC would give out a ?????? error msg for divide by zero error

Maybe MC should consider catching this error specifically.

Hi Marina,

These 4 reserve words are being used extensively in many existing TS strategies. Lacking these 4 important reserve words renders many (maybe 50% or more) TS strategies useless and thus making MC much less practical as a backtesting tool. If possible please treat these 4 reserve words as high priorit...

Hi Andrew, I did further testing. Both bugs seem to relate to the same source. Everytime I run an optimization with # simulation > 20000 - 30000 runs the above two problems appear. You can 100% recreate the scenarios by running a BollingerBand LE and BollingerBand SE strategies with optimization par...

Hi Andrew, I tried another optimization and encountered 2 bugs: The first bug I tried to run the following optimization: BollingerBand LE ( Length: 1..50; Num StdD: 1..5) BollingerBand SE( Length: 1..50; Num StdD: 1..5) Total tests: 62500 When I run this optimization MC hangs up every time when it j...

Hi Andrew, I just downloaded the latest Beta and performed the following test: Symbol: SPY Date: 7/18/2005 - 7/17/2007 (2 years back) Strategy and Optimization parameters: MovAvg 2 Line Cross LE ( FastLength: 1..9; Slow Length: 1..18 ) MovAvg 2 Line Cross SE ( FastLength: 1..9: Slow Length: 1..18 ) ...

Just found out the latest version is 2.1.909.909 ...

Gee... you guys are really rolling things out fast... I think I downloaded just 2 weeks ago...

I will try the latest version and report back

BUG report I found that everytime I cancel an optimization, MC runs into optimization premature exit for the next run. TSsupport pls look into the problem... scenario reproduce: 1) run an exhaustive optimization and cancel it 2) run another optimization under genetic mode what to expect: In the seco...

I played around with a few optimizations (keltner channel, bollingerband) and compared the speed between TS and MC... What I found is basically the speed of TS using 1 core is the same as MC using 2 cores... This is quite surprising because it suggest EL code compiled into C++ on MC is only half eff...

I just downloaded MC beta and played around with it. I loaded up a few signals and optimize to test for speed. The first time the optimization went ok, but from the 2nd time on the optimizer just quit on me. It jumps out from the optimization window. First it jumps out after a few thousands iteratio...

Hi, I'm a long time TS user and I'm thinking of migrating to MC because of the exciting multi-core optimization feature. For those who have done optimizations on MC, may I ask what's the real life optimization speed you're getting compared to TS? I'm interested in both the multi-core speed and singl...
