Hello,

Have you set up ASCII Mapping or imported ASCII data?
Please check How to Add Symbol Data From Files for details.

When ASCII Mapping is used, new values from your file are supposed to appear on your chart for the mapped symbol, not in QuoteManager.

Hello Andreas,

Please try repairing MultiCharts: go to the Windows Start menu → Settings (gear icon) → Apps → select MultiCharts → click Uninstall → in the Setup Wizard click Next → Repair.
If that doesn't help, try reinstalling it. Make sure you do a backup before uninstalling the app.

Some feedback on the Beta that I've noticed while using in live trading... first is that the strategy properties don't save when you want to use as a default so you need to constantly re-enter on new charts, and I've also noticed the chart lost its connection to broker price updates from IB - I was...

Hi,

OCO groups consist of price orders only. It sounds like it was just a separate market order generated by your strategy or sent manually.

Kate MultiCharts

Hello automaton,

Rithmic supports native OCO orders, so when you place them in MultiCharts, they get sent to the broker and are managed on the broker end further on. The ID is assigned by the broker to the OCO group, so it’s expected to see the same for all the orders in the group.

Have you sent us a report via the Feedback app?

Kate MultiCharts

Hello krzysiaczek99, That’s expected behaviour. If you’d like to optimize two strategies separately, you’ll need to put them into separate Portfolio windows. Having separate strategies in the same Portfolio window allows using different signals or broker accounts for specific symbol sets. But Money ...

That might happen when you use 'Every Session' or 'Every N Bars' setting for your Volume Profile.
