MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Sigma Trader

Anyone have a solution for this problem? Tech support is stumped.
MC 7 had been working fine on win xp and win7 pro with zen-fire until Beta4 was installed. After Beta4 was installed MC still worked on win7 but not on win xp with zen-fire. MC7 b4 does work with iqfeed on both win7 and win xp.

Sigma Trader

Same problem here with zenfire in V7. Why wasn't there a warning about this at the V7 download site? Is there a solution for this problem of V7 not connecting to zenfire? If so where is it? What is it? Thankyou.

The symbol formatting for zen-fire is the following: For CME symbol root<month code><y> where month code H=Mar, M=June, U=Sept, Z=Dec where y=year = 1 through 0 for 10th year CME Examples: ES use ESZ0 and CME exchange NQ use NQZ0 and CME exchange YM use YMZ0 and CBOT exchange CME currency Futures 6E...

Zen-Fire tech support says they do not support MultiCharts 1-800-496-1683 ext 3

Sigma Trader

No, a new zen-fire dll is apparantly not needed.

Is a new datafeed dll needed for Zen-Fire? The existing one no longer works with the YM. It does work with the ES. I think zen-fire changed their symbol mapping for some symbols and YM was one of them.

Sigma Trader

It is also probably better to choose Run instead of Save. On the first install on the primary machine i did choose Run and there were no install problems. On the backup machine i chose Save using the default name of multicharts.exe and that is what the problem was, even though Multicharts had not be...

Sigma Trader

I used the default download name when saving. The file name at the download url is multicharts.exe. I did not rename it. It should be something else, like MultichartsInstaller.exe to avoid the unsuspecting confusion. The user could rename it of course.

Well, i took brodnicki's advice and did the dirty dead of starting to uninstall the partially functioning MC5. First i exported all the PLE. Then i used the Control Panel to Remove, upon selection of MC5 it gave me the option Repair or Uninstall. I decided to give it one more chance on the Repair op...

Sigma Trader

Pardoneme, I see the human error. Since i seldom use MC, been waiting for gold, i forgot that to see all the Futures symbols when creating a new chart, the symbol has to be deleted from the symbol drop down window. Apologies.

Sigma Trader

OK, so since i couldn't add a new symbol, i decided to edit an older one in the QM. So i chose ES Z8 and edited it to be ES M9. I connected it to eSignal and it began collecting quotes. However, trying to create a chart, using data on demand, did not work, because the symbol selection in Format Symb...

Earlier today i was successful in installing V5 on a win XP Pro machine. It ran and charted, no problems at that time. So now as i am testing it for functionality i see something not right in the Quote Manager. When i try to do Add Signal from Data Source it gives me "No Matches Were Found". Now thi...

Sigma Trader

Now then the mystery deepens. After failing to fully complete an install of ver 5 to my knowledge with satisfaction, and even reading a message that says the install has not been completed, even getting one message that says a previous install must be completed first...a reassuring message said that...

Sigma Trader

I downloaded and saved the file to install later. When i ran it i got the message "The installer has detected the following process currently running on your computer" and listed multicharts.exe. The task manager infact showed multicharts.exe in the processes. So, i ended its process and then the in...

I suppose it isn't absolutely necessary to name a scanner layout. There are ways around it like having duplicate workspaces but with different names incase one gets screwed up. One of the minor irritants i've found with the scanner is the oneway sort. By that i mean if a column such as the symbol co...

Sigma Trader

Usually the left column of a scanner has a list of symbols. It would be helpful to have a "scroll lock" user option feature for that column so that when the columns are scrolled horizontally the symbol column remains in view at the left margin. Also a scanner might have symbols that are members of g...

OK, maybe you are saying that the SSL certificate is not used on Mirus/Zen-Fire DEMO accounts, but maybe is used on REAL accounts? Or maybe it is optional?

Sigma Trader

The explanation is still incomplete for many computer users. Maybe your programmers understand, but the users don't. Would you mind explaining thoroughly how this SSL feature works? Is an SSL certificate required? Where does it come from, TSSUPPORT, Mirus-Zen-Fire, Verisign, other? When does it get ...

Sigma Trader

finally got data flow from Zenfire, account type had to be set to Live not Sim per a previous post. Still don't know about the SSL, guess it doesn't matter.

Sigma Trader

Ignoring the SSL issue for the moment since no one at TSSUPPORT seems to know the answer, here is what i get in the Quote Manager Event Log when creating a chart using Zenfire and ESU8 Connecting to Zenfire Connecting to real-time data for ESU8.CME Market Data Connection Opened Well, now, this looks...

Sigma Trader

What/where is the SSL certificates path used for inputting the Zenfire feed settings?

Sigma Trader

I installed the Zenfire datafeed dll and then activated Zenfire in the MC Quote Manger Tools/DataSources. I got a trial username and pw from the Mirus website, but an SSL connection path is needed to complete the ZF feed activation in MC. Mirus techie told me the SSL comes from TSSupport. Help, i re...

1. Would you please compare your point change chart style with that of esignal's in their advanced charting? Specifically, compare an 89PC in esignal with that in Multicharts running on TS data and esignal data.

2. How does MultiCharts define a point change chart?

Thanks

Weird, now it is working. iqfeed woke up and historical data was retrieved. The login error occurred on Sunday, and when no iqfeed data was retrieved by Monday morning i closed MC, reinstalled the iqfeed client and tsiqfeed dll, error occurred again until the NY daysession began. I am only collectin...

Am getting an error message from Multicharts that says the wrong iqfeed client is installed. However, iqfeed 4.2.1.4 has been installed since it became available and the new tsIQDataFeed.dll from has also been installed. These two worked up until Friday May 25. Now the error message is appearing tha...

Sigma Trader

well, that previous message wasn't correct. There was a data gap, but it wasn't for the last hour, it was earlier. Even though the preferences were set to load local data, there was a hole in the local data that was not getting filled when logging in, even though preferences were set to download mis...

Sigma Trader

There is still an hour gap using this dll with IB TWS 871.3.

Sigma Trader

What is the secret to the download? I am told the file cannot be found. The other dll downloads for esignal and IB worked fine. I really would like to get this iqfeed dll.

Sigma Trader

I can't get this zip download to work. What is the secret?

Sigma Trader

Got it working by entering symbols manually. No support needed. Thanks.

Am having a bit of a problem making MC connect to the IQFeed for the first time. IQFeed is installed and Its Connection Manager shows it is connected and passes its diagnostics. MC says IQFeed is Active, but OFFLINE. I've gone to MC/Tools/DataSources and verified the Settings. This is MC 2.0.763.930...

That MD code is great for TS. It seems to do the trick. I do like the totals of net delta at the bottom of the price bars. Note the clear divergence at the lows in the accompanying chart. Sorry about posting this using TS, but haven't downloaded the recent beta's. Should be similar i would guess.

Only 6 months? Try waiting two years or more for expectations to be fullfilled. Fact is this list is sounding more and more like the evolutionary path of TS4, TS2k, lots of complaints.

You know, this sight is very lacking in clarity of where to get a valid download for software. First the posts say don't use 595.920 and then say to use the same download link for a prior build. Unfortunaltly the link still has the beta that sucks sucks sucks 595.920. Since that beta is so bad why d...
