Hello picante,

All the pre-built functions in MultiCharts .NET are compiled upon building the installer.
It is not possible to debug them. However, you can debug your own functions that you create.
If you'd like to debug the pre-built ones, you'll need to create copies of them with different names.

UPD: After additional research our engineers do not recommend to use ARM processors for MultiCharts.
We cannot guarantee that x64 emulation will work as expected with such complicated software as MultiCharts.
Only Intel 64(AMD64) architecture is recommended.

Tammy MultiCharts

Hello McGeorge,

Please download this archive that contains MC_x32_plkit.h and MC_x64_plkit.h.
UPD: TLH and TLI files were added.

Tammy MultiCharts

Hello eto,

We haven't tested MultiCharts in such environment.
MultiCharts only supports x86 and AMD64 architecture.
If the supported architecture is emulated on the machine, MultiCharts will work on it.

Hello andreinvest,

This error is generated upon calculation of your specific script, and to figure this out we will need to check it.
If you cannot share the original script, you might be able to reproduce this on a simplified sample and, if you can, send it to us for further analysis.

Tammy MultiCharts

Hello joebone,

In Portfolio margin calculation exits and partial exits have a higher priority as no additional funds must be used. Invested Capital is released by exits.
As for the orders sorted by Money Management, order execution priority rules described here are applied.

The issue will be fixed in one of the future releases. We will let you know as soon as the fix is out.
