Re: Feature question

I may not have been clear in the initial question. I presumed by combining cumulative delta from different symbols it would have to be an indicator, not a chart type. I need to access the data used to build cumulative delta from within an indicator. Maybe that's why I'm confused by the answers so far.

Re: Feature question

I feel like my questions aren't being directly answered. I'm instead getting relevant(?) yet not terribly helpful explanations that might help or might not. So is Ask/bid size on historical data from my data provider available via .NET or not? What does a "historical database" have to do with what M...

Re: Feature question

I don't think that would get me cumulative delta since that has to do with bid and ask volume, not ticks in general. How does MC derive cum delta for historical data if bid and ask volume are not available on historical data? This is the problem with having these things as types of charts rather tha...

Re: Cumulative Delta inconsistencies

I'm also interested in using cum delta. If still an issue, is this an MC.net issue (I use PL for the moment) or a CQG issue (I use Rithmic at the moment)?

Feature question

Can either MC PL or MC.net indicators be written or changed to combine components of data1 and data2 similar to TS? Specifically, I'd like to combine bid/ask vol to get combined cumulative delta as well as combine volume for the footprint chart. I'd like to combine regular and micro futures contract...

Re: A bug and a feature request re: chart trading

Seems appropriate for a chart to maintain settings. I understand setting a default would set a system-wide default for charts I open thereafter, rather than effecting a single chart. I don't know how to explain it in more detail than I already have. I have to set it each time I open the same charts....

A bug and a feature request re: chart trading

The bug: historical orders in chart trading won't remember my settings. I think the default blue is hard to see so I change it to cyan. It never seems to remember the setting. Even when I click to change it the settings are actually the way I had them but won't register until I click OK back out of ...

"Global Mode" greyed out [SOLVED]

I saw a post on the .NET side that had some updater for Global Mode fix. Mine in the PL version isn't working, unless I'm doing something wrong. The wiki page doesn't list much for getting it to work with multiple timeframe charts of the same symbol.

Re: Help converting some EasyLanguage

Maybe someone will come along willing to do a difficult direct translation. Until then I suppose I can manually draw. Rectangles seem to stay when you change the chart interval. Any idea why text labels don't? (Sometimes they do, sometimes not.)

Help converting some EasyLanguage

Would like to use this in MC. Got it from the TS community forum. It drew rectangles around the same period (and from high to low) every day and placed a text label on the box that indicated high/low/etc. for that period. I just modified it to show me the day of week of the period. I can't even seem...

Nevermind. Apparently the only account listed that reported "Free Margin" was the Rithmic Paper Trading account. The Rithmic 01 live account did not.

Re: Keyword equivalent to TS's GetRTPurchasingPower

There's no "Purchasing Power" but there's a "Free Margin." When I buy a single contract it seems to decrease by initial/daytrading margin and fluctuates depending on P/L. Are the two fields the same thing?

Keyword equivalent to TS's GetRTPurchasingPower

TS has a keyword that is basically "here's how much money you have left you can use to buy more futures contracts even if you've already bought some." It's GetRTPurchasingPower and their help entry has a formula: Real-time Cash + Real-time Trade Equity + Securities on Deposit + Initial Margin - Open...

Would like to switch from TS to MC .NET. I have some ts indicators that use up/dn volume. Looks like it basically works the same just different keywords. Does it only work with certain data feeds? I've used rithmic and would like to use them again. Thanks.

Try and disable the synchronizers.
And what would the point of that be considering it would disable the ability to sync manual trades with auto trades, which is one component of what I'm trying to do?
