Well, this approach (changing the Price Scale to increase the digits available in Functions and Signals) has the unfortunate side affect of changing the definition of what a pip is for the whole instrument class. So now now instead of this being a 1 pip change (4th digit): 1.1619 1.1620 This is now ...

OK, I think I've figured this out sufficiently. 5 digits of resolution are coming from IQFeed for forex data (the 6 digits I was seeing on the chart was coming from the position of the mouse cursor on the chart or calculated values like EMA, not the underlying data). In Quote Manager I found I could...

As a follow-up, is there a way to globally set 6 decimal places as the default? As you can see in the attached image 6 decimal places is available, it's just not reaching the Indicator / Signal level. 4 decimal / 1 pip resolution isn't enough for any kind of calculations. I want 6 decimal places (or...

Hi, I have an IQFeed EURUSD instrument added to a 5 minute chart. The instrument was set to 4 decimal places (I think the default). When I try to print out the high with :7:7 I was still getting 4 decimal places. if DateToString(DateTime) = "10/18/2021" then begin Print(DateToString(DateTime), " ", ...

Thank you, unchecking that box solved the problem (along with Ctrl+R and knowing that less historical data is available during the session and needs to be downloaded after hours).

Thanks. I tried rebooting and creating a new workspace and chart again after 6:30pm Eastern (an hour after session close) and same thing. It only gives me 7 bars of daily data on a daily chart that should go back to 2016.

Hi, I created an IQFeed demo today, then seeing the message pop up in MC that it only went back 90 days I went into the IQFeed site and upgraded the demo to a paid subscription so I could get access to 1 minute data back to 2005. However, it's only downloading a week of data. I followed the instruct...

Thank you. That's very good to know. I saw this text on the Buy and Sell page and didn't notice it's absence on the Stop page and thought the same applied there: An order is executed at the point specified by the parameters; if the order is not filled within the specified bar, the order is cancelled.

Thank you for the reply. But a stop order is not an alternative for a stoploss, because it expires after one bar, correct? On a 15 minute chart what good does it do to try to use a stop order as a stoploss if it expires after 15 minutes if the specified price isn't hit during that bar? After that ba...

Thanks for the response. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a regular Stop order is not the same thing as a stop loss at a specific price. A Stop order will execute at the specified price, but will expire if it doesn't reach that price within the next bar. Possibly it is also dependent on MultiCharts bein...

Ctrl+R worked, thanks. Good to know.

Hi, I'm missing a little over 24 hours of bar data on GBP/USD from Oanda. When I mouse over the bars it jumps right from 9/28 16:59 to 9/29 17:28. Switching between timeframes (2 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, etc) doesn't fix it, the data is missing on all of them. Is this just data that's missing on...

Hi, I'm working on a forex strategy (let's say EUR/USD) and know the exact price I want my stop loss (or take profit) to be set at. The only 2 ways I can see to set the stop loss is: SetStopLoss_pt(100); // Exit if the price moves 100 ticks (10 pips?) against our entry price SetStopLoss(100); // Exi...

Perfect, thanks!

Hi, I have some actions that I want to happen in my strategy if I'm AutoTrading but that I don't want to get executed if I'm running a backtest (alerts, sharedVar, extra logging, etc). Is there a way to detect whether the signal is being run live vs as a backtest? For instance: If isAutoTrading = Tr...
