MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Grigorios

Starting from TWS version 969 and API v9.72+ IB has been enhancing the data precision features with a near tick by tick data feed and back fill for up to 5 US securities. I wonder if MC is planning to support this new feature . https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/tick_data.html https://fina...

Hi Sebastian Vermont,

have you succeed in adding a signal only once to a chart using CommandLine() ?

thanks

Grigorios

Hi JoshM, use of IntraBarPersist makes no difference....it keeps running on every bar and adds signal multiple times on chart....very strange...any suggestions ? TIA Your code is different from the example I posted; you're missing the IntrabarPersist keyword. Does it work when you use that keyword?

Grigorios

Thanks JoshM but your suggestion doesn't seem to work either.... Please post your codes. Once Begin CommandLine(".isig name1=Acme Trade Manager"); End; Var:RunOnce(false); If (RunOnce=false) then begin CommandLine(".isig name1=Acme Trade Manager"); RunOnce=True; End; I tried both from within a sign...

Grigorios

Thanks JoshM but your suggestion doesn't seem to work either....

Grigorios

Thanks JoshM , But how to prevent the CommandLine statement running on every bar and adding the signal multiple times on chart? i tried with "Once - Begin" with no luck. It's a true workaround, but CommandLine() can add signals based on various command line commands . This is not a 'code inheriting'...

Grigorios

you can always use the Scanner for this and set alerts programmatically Hello mickatrade Thanks for your reply. That solution works if you have a relatively small number of instruments to monitor, and if you keep that workspace active all the time. I monitor around 150 stocks, a dozen futures, sever...

Grigorios

Could you do the same for lmax?

i second that...

Grigorios

Hi TJ,
please take a look at this code...what you think..

Code: Select all

var: timelapsed(0);



if date <> date[1] then



     timelapsed = time_s - (sessionstarttime(1,1)* 100)

     else

     timelapsed = (datetime - datetime[1]) * 86400;



Plot10(timelapsed);

Grigorios

now there is a big reading for the first bar of each day...
but not for all days...strange..

Grigorios

Thanks TJ,

The indicator seems to add previous bars time on every hourly change...please take a look
at the picture...

Grigorios

Hello,

I am looking for an indicator to show me as histogram the elapsed time in seconds for a volume or range bar to complete...does anyone have this ?

thanks in advance

Grigorios

TSS could perhaps explain without revealing the secrets of their business , what are the constraints that make Oanda is still not available on MC, while REST API is now available ? ...
We are working in this direction...

any news on this?

Grigorios

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your interest and suggestions.
We will consider this feature in the future.

Hi Henry,

is there any plan in near future for adding this IB's 5 sec. real data feature into MC ?

regards

Grigorios

Hi Henry,

Looks like the issue is not fixed on 8.7 version.....

Grigorios

Hi Henry,

any news on this?

Grigorios

Hello Grigorios,

Do you recall which version of TWS you were running before?

probably the 924 build...

Grigorios

Hi, With the latest TWS 938 build i am not able anymore to see chart of any CFD contract in MC... the chart is completly blank..no quotes coming in...the problem i believe is IB from latest TWS transmits only midpoint price on CFD contracts...and MC needs bid or ask...i tried trade field... with no ...

Grigorios

Also, the BID should be below the ASK.

+1000

Grigorios

Alrighty.

As mentioned earlier, I did download and install (did repair over remove of course), and still get the same notification. I'll try again later and report back. Thanks.

same here......

Grigorios

Hi Grigorios, I don`t actually understand what do you want to say. Do I have to change any MC settings to get last price from IB TWS and it`s by default ask price now? Thanks I say that what you see in TWS chart is the bid price....and in MC chart is ask price....the 0.5-1 pip difference is the reg...

Grigorios

we need performance reports-statistics for discretional trades.....after that i could say we have a complete platform....

regards

Grigorios

Sorry for the double post... The current MCDT download is from July 15th, but I downloaded anyways and was prompted to remove or repair, so I chose repair, thinking that this is not the update, as originally anticipated... And upon opening MCDT, I still get the same (attached). I'd like to get this...

Grigorios

are you aware that MC shows ask data on chart ???

Grigorios

yea just fix the price scale to 1/100000 and min. movement to 5 in idealpro exchange couse default is wrong...

Grigorios

Hi Dave,

imho QM should add automaticaly the history to the last expired symbol and therefore keep no more than one expired contract. So one expired and one the current....this way we avoid the clutter the annoying alert messages and user can add easily historical continuation data.

best regards

Grigorios

thanks Joshm and sptrader, thats the obvious solution....imho MC should check by dates if the data are already available and avoid the messages....couse you know i don't like to clutter my QM with lots of expired symbols, instead i would like to export historical continuation data and import again t...

Grigorios

Hi Stan,

One more issue......two months ago Interactive Brokers have introduced two new securities for trading spot gold and silver , they call them commodity-metals with symbols XAUUSD and XAGUSD. These are till now not supported from Quote Manager ...would we have them on beta 5 ?

Grigorios

Hi Stan,

version 7 beta 4

Grigorios

H Stan,

in this case with IB as a broker and feed from zenfire in the chart, mapping is not working....
i press the add buton...nothing happens.....please try to reproduce ...

best regards

Grigorios

hi ,
Is it possible from a custom future chart with feed from zenfire to send orders to Interactive Brokers ? and if so why that brokers profile doesn't let me add nothing to the symbol mapping?

Grigorios

Hi Stan, As you probably already know there is an issue with Custom Futures building for Eurex symbols (FGBL-FESX-FDAX) with Zen-fire as data feed .The problem is connected with the fact that month for those symbols is represented as a number. MultiCharts for now doesn’t work with it. I like to ask ...

Grigorios

hi,
does anybody know if this is possible and how? moving database files to E drive where i have plenty space?

thanks in advance

Grigorios

data for Eurex sucks....it's snapshot data.IB's data it's much better...

Grigorios

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/ge ... cat_search

i have made a suggestion to IB for creating continuation symbols for
futures...if this will implemented will make our lives easier..

please vote.

Grigorios

Marina, Why you dont just say that MC is not able to perform a simple stock split? or a simple future rollover ???

Grigorios

I hope so marina... i have told you about them 1 year ago....

Grigorios

that's a limitation of quotemanager...in TS2000i's GlobalSErver you can define for how many days back your data will be keeped...you can also backadjust furures contracts data or perform a simple stock split...those issues seem not to be mandatory for TSSupport developers...very sad....

Grigorios

continuous contracts ? user defined rollover schedule? symbol substitution? ohh man you have to be a trader to understand those terms and the importance of them...and seems no one of the developers is trading futures contracts..great platforms as Ensign and Neoticker have build in continuous symbols...
