Hi all, I'm currently developing a solution to help me copy my trades out of multicharts into other software programs. I've found some pretty useful tools using pre-made .dll files. And I can send messages out of multicharts and receive them. There are 2 like to haves I'd like to have and wondering ...

Re: Kraken Connection not reliable

Hi Polly, Thanks for the reply. I have turned off the alerts. As for the Kraken data feed, I have further researched the Kraken API's. The price data feed is pulled from their public API. My guess is that the rate limit of their API is being hit and Multicharts keeps requesting data without throttli...

Re: Kraken Connection not reliable

As a workaround I thought maybe I could load data from Binance and send then orders to Kraken but then this creates it's own problems with mapping symbols as the symbols could have different volume multipliers or point values. Any suggestions welcome.

Hi, has anyone else got issues using Kraken. Do they limit API requests? When I run portfolio trader on a number of symbols, the loading data box gets stuck and rarely loads to 100%. I have to cancel portfolio backtesting and restart it over and over and hope the data loads. I wouldn't feel comforta...

Keyword for Volume Multiplier? [SOLVED]

Hi,
When trading crypto on Binance I am manually inputting a value for the volume multiplier into my strategies for each symbol. Is there a keyword I can use instead?

Hi, Is anyone else experiencing the connection to Oanda disconnecting multiple times per week?

Hi all, I've been using a poorly coded position size function for a few years now and I've decided to refactor it so it can be used across all markets and brokers with no issues.

Re: Email Alert Provider, Gmail not working [SOLVED]

I may have figured out the solution if anyone else is having similar issues. In my Gmail settings I turned off allowed access from less secure apps. Then I created an App password. I have switched Multicharts to use this specific password. Email alerts appear to be working as normal again.

Hi,

I'm having a look around the platform but I can't see the option to buy fractional shares on Interactive brokers. I know with crypto exchanges you can use the volume multiplier. Is something similar available with buying shares on IB?

Re: Commissions Calculation on Binance

Update:

I've found a work around using the ChangeMarketPosition function. I've put this into my script and use it to subtract from the contracts. It's bit complicated but seems to work.

If their is a better way such as using the multicharts built in commissions please let me know.

Thanks
