Hello, is this fixed meanwhile?

lantama

Okay, fine. Thanks

lantama

Henry, thanks for your fast support analysing this issue.

Hello, I am facing trouble with a data feed connection to Trading Technologies. Are there any changes in MC 12 vs MC 11? The Quotemanager shows: [10/24/2018 11:14:50] Establishing connection to Trading Technologies... [10/24/2018 11:14:53] Impossible to connect to the trading system. Please check co...

I downgraded, upgraded again. Used different folders. At the moment it is working. But there is still something in the compiler log: C:\PROGRA~1\TSSUPP~1\MULTIC~1\make\MinGW64\bin\dlltool: Path components stripped from dllname, 'C:\PROGRA~3\TSSUPP~1\MULTIC~1\STUDYS~1\Studies\SrcCpp\INDICA~1\IA__RO~1...

lantama

Downgrading to 11? I am using MC from the first version on. Never had this issue before. This error is crucial for me.

lantama

On all I think. This is a live system thus I stoped producing errors

lantama

Hello Henry,

I reinstalled MC64. Closed all processes, rebooted, deinstalled, rebooted, installed. But I did this with keeping data and settings.
Still get the same error. I will try to repair as well, but I think this won't help in this case.

lantama

Hello, I had this error and chaneged a lot according to the 'tutorial' around this issue. Now the error log shows this: internal error in mingw32_gt_pch_use_address, at config/i386/host-mingw32.c:171: MapViewOfFileEx: Es wurde versucht, auf eine unzulässige Adresse zuzugreifen. The last part means: ...

lantama

Hi, unfortunately I think this fix is not built into 8.8. Can you please check?

lantama

I decided to go for a time based solution. Example for >20Sec Interval:

Vars:
intrabarpersist set(0), intrabarpersist go(0);

if set=0 then set=q_Time_DT;
if(q_Time_DT-Set)*100000000>20000 then begin
set=q_Time_DT;
go=1;
end else go=0;

lantama

Interesting suggestions, thanks. I will play around a bit with it

lantama

Hello, I am looking for a function that can pause an indicator calculation for a specific time. The sense behind is that I would like to slow down "update on every tick" in certain situations. Is ther some function around? I did not find any.
Thanks

Hi, we are devoloping an own connection to TTNet. However I would like to use TTnet data in MC. Unfortunately there is no environment to test this. Anyone has any expierences with it? Is it realiable and stable / reconnecting? Is there a back fill feature? I heard that some clients (brokers) have hi...

"Use eSignal range checking filter for trades box is checked" -> is this called "qualified price for trades" or a new feature/checkbox? The name is new. It is called Use eSignal range checking filter for trades now. You write that I should prove that it is checked. And then follow point 2 .... that...

lantama

Here is the new updater including more fixes regarding the problem. After it is installed, please make sure the Use eSignal range checking filter for trades box is checked in the settings of eSignal data source in QuoteManager, then close MC and QM, follow point 2 from the instruction above and the...

lantama

Hello Andrew, thanks. I will test it in the next days.

lantama

Hi Andrew, after the first tests it seems to work in general. But: - after Restart / Booting the checkbox " use qualified price for trade" is unchecked again. I think it is still working, but I am not shure. - after hours the intraday chart is duplicating the last tick with zero volume. I forgot to ...

lantama

Installed it. What means "Qualified Price for Trades"? Is this the new feature for filtering?

lantama

Ah, this is the hot fix and no debugging stuff. Good that you are mentioning it

.
Thanks I will give it try tomorrow.

lantama

Hello Andrew,
this means that you did not reproduce this issue by yourself? I asked you that before. The issue is obvious anyway, in case no one reproduced this on your side. What would you like to achieve?

Best
Andreas

lantama

Hi, thanks for the useful investigation. But it is even more worse than that. MC had a filter before. Older MC versions with the same Esignal version were fine regarding this issue (unfortunately buggy in other ways). Thus it must be possible to get this fixed in a very short time. I have trouble to...

lantama

Anyway, please make it a priority on the dev list and keep me posted.

Cheers

We added only 0 price filtration.[/quote]

Like I said: It was working with a 8.5 beta version. Thus somebody on your side changed something (in the wrong way). That's a fact.

lantama

Usually there is a description of the API available for the technology partners like multicharts. Changes, filters, tags, whatever. Thus either the descriptions and version management of eSignal is wrong or you missed something and therefore the current QM esignal handler is wrong. Both require that...

lantama

That means all esignal users will face these issues? No one else is complaining? I am the only one using this combination?

Why and why no hot fix? I'm lost. This is ridiculous.....

lantama

Hello Andrew, means you found the issue? As you might imagine this is a serious thread for my trading. Any estimation about the timeline for a fix?

lantama

lantama

Not that I would know. What might be a special feature?

lantama

Hello, I still receive weird glitches in newest productive MC64 (8.8.8593.400). Source is esignal (11.6 SP2). Products BUND (GB H4-DT) @ EUREX, EUROSTOXX 50 (ET H4-DT) @ EUREX, IBEX (IBX G4-MRV) @ MEFF to name a few... The intraday chart in MC has glitches. The same intraday chart in ESIGNAL has no ...

lantama

Hilbert, something that is really great with MC is the Time Zone, Daylight Savings, etc... management in the Quote Manager (QM). What is important: You have to make sure that your Operating System Time Zone and DateTime is correct. When you trade Globex you just enter under "Edit Symbols" -> "Sessio...

I was downgrading to build 7263 which is working fine with me. Downgrading was a bit problematic as the quote database isn't downward compatible. I am not sure about the current release, but as I have no time to test it I will stick to the older beta for the time being. Have you tried MultiCharts 8...

lantama

Also in 8.7 7472 many charts from IB are not updating. The only thing that helps ist do delete the symbol and to start all over again. But shuting down and restarting MC reproduces the problem.

lantama

?? The data shown in the first line is other than in the chart! And this means nothing to you? Then please stop replying to my posts.

lantama

No, there is obviously some serious problem with the IB Data Source Adapter in 7409!

I Have also inconsistent Chart Data. The Chart is lagging (or not showing the latest tick). See attached. Please check!
lantama

lantama

Hi, my charts of the EURUSD / IDEALPRO from IB are not updating since the update to 8.7 (7409). History is loading, Quotemanager is collecting, but somehow the charts are not updating with new ticks (last, bid, 1 minute, ticks.....) . This is weird, as other symbols are working fine. Any idea what i...

lantama

Henry , any news on this one?

lantama

Henry, great to hear that you found the problem. Was it a special Esignal adapter or a generell issue? As far as I know there are some others bugfixes for Esignal for MC 8.5. Will you provide a cumulative fix?

have a nice weekend,
lantama

Today the IBEX was fine. But I saw some strange behaviour in DAX (AX M3-DT) and in ESTX50 (ET M3-DT) JUN Futures. Collecting TRADES, streaming live data from esignal. DAX: FIRST TICK: 7821 OPEN FIRST MIN: 7820 WEBSITE EXCHANGE: 7821 ESIGNAL FRONTEND: 7820 If I look at the DAX FUTURE only it seems th...

today everything (I was monitoring) was fine.

lantama

Today, all was fine with the IBEX APR FUT. First ticks and the first minute have the same price (7952). This is also the official opening. I will monitor this on a daily basis. But I saw some misbehaviour in the AX-M3-DT today. German Eurex Dax Future. Same fields to collect (All "Trade" nothing els...

lantama

Sunday late afternoon. For the whole week....

lantama

Henry, ok. eSignal connection. Collect RT data w/o plotting on. Fields: Only Trade: Tick, Minute, Day.
Plotting permenately a live Minute Chart of IBEX 35 APR (Esig: IBX J3-MRV). Data is wrong for first minute opening of today as you can see in the first screenshots.

What else do you need?

lantama

Henry, the ticks are collected in realtime. No Backfill in this case. Live trading :). MC makes minute samples out of the ticks in this case as far as i know. Reloading makes no difference as the data is stored/cached. I would have to delete the minute data for backfill to solve this, but i need pro...

lantama

Hello, I am still fighting with MC (8.5 now) and proper Opening prices. IB has Problems with this. However this is somewhat clear as they sample the data. Thus I ordered eSignal. Now I receive the proper ticks, but somehow the opening prices shown are still often wrong. Why is this? Example today: I...

lantama

It was my DSL provider. Not your fault, sorry.

But anyway, in general this could be an issue. Is there something like a locally stored license or dongle?

Ok, "generate new tick if volume changes" was toggled off as I was looking for 'better' ticks. I will change and check again.
lantama

lantama

Today I receive glitches from IB/DTB feed again - as before in former versions (MC7). I think this is somehow related to the opening price issue. The feed implementation of DTB/IB source in MC seems to be buggy. IB/TWS is filtering these glichtes as you can see in the chart comparison. Somehow I don...

lantama

Hello Henry, any news regarding this issue?

lantama

Please, it is very dangerous for my trading approach. If toggled on, I miss the closing auction prices @ EUREX/DTB from source IB If toggled off, I get proper closing auction prices @ EUREX/DTB from source IB, but in this case I think sometimes I receive a duplicated wrong opening price (= closing ...

lantama

Please, it is very dangerous for my trading approach. However, I cannot give you any proof, but I think it is still related to 'generate new Tick if volume changes' setting.

Yes, you can import any historical data (txt, csv) into your IB symbol history in the quote manager.

Hello, I am using hourly bars/minute data in MC 8 64 latest version. Data Source is IB. Latest TWS and API 966 are in place.

lantama

Henry, unfortunately nothing improved with MC 8 beta 2. Absolutely the same, wrong behaviour. I have no clue why nobody is taking care. I am talking about the closing prices from Europeans most important futures exchange. And I am sure that the change either on your or on IB side is one man hour eff...

Jo, not really, the daily settlement price is from 17:30 german time as it is from closing time of the underyling cash market.

lantama

Henry, no offense, but you are not answering my questions. Is there a way to manipulate the way Multicharts is filtering IB ticks to avoid bad ticks AND to deliver proper auction closing prices? If no, would you be so kind to support me in order to solve this issue with the IB support? Current situa...

lantama

Henry, IB charts showed no spikes. The glitches could not be observed in TWS quote grid either! So I guess that the way the data from Eurex is handled is simple not right (from IB) and Multicharts is filtering like you described or not. No, means I get alls the stuff. Yes, means I miss the auction p...

I guess you have "Generate new Ticks as Total Volume changes" unchecked?

Hello, I have an open inquiry at IB as they suddenly stopped to deliver the auction closing prices on Eurex (DTB) and Osaka (OSE.JPN) almost two years ago. Unfortunately nothing improved since then. Nobody is taking care over there. However, on my test machine I played around with the MC QM data sou...

PRINT is it... thanks TJ, I missed that.

Henry, many thanks. This definetely helps. The futures position rolling should work as well. Means changing the underlying contract in the chart. Rolling the position manually into the next expiry. Turning on autotrading again. Entering position long x as starting position..... What I really miss in...

Hello, I am currently testing the conversion of some of my Autotrading via IB TWS from a thrid parts DLL Solution (TWSlink) to the Strategy Autotrading of MC. Some crucial points are not clear to me and I was unable to find the right answers here in this large forum.... When I have placed a strategy...

lantama

Sure, but the crucial point here is that alle scripts trade only once - or let say one contract. That means that I have to set a variable somewhere like in a text file. Lets say Subsystem_one_Position=1. Code would be somthing like this (don't know the real functions right away) Read Textfile.... If...

lantama

Hi, thank you for the reply. Anyway that is not what I wanted to hear as it is quite uncomfortable regarding rolling, system performance, interaction in respect to overall risk. So I have to redesign my approach somehow.... Would it be possible to implement all signals into one signal? Then I would ...

Unfortunately, 'Last' is usually NOT the most recent quote when there are more than a few trades in one second. Last is a EL quote field value, and similar to other quote fields, it is generally updated two or three times per second; it is not updated on each trade tick. Therefore, the MC user guid...

lantama

I don't get your answer. Yes, I CAN read. But the MC Power Language Editor Help isn't that helpful in this case. Just think that you grap OPEN, LAST and CLOSE when the first tick of your session arrives. I think they all should be the same in case that it is really the very first tick. But very ofte...

Hi, any news on this one? IB / TWS Nat Gas Future NGH9 @Nymex shows error "No Symbol" in MC 4. If you ask because the only difference between NGG9 (Feb Contract) and NGH9 (March) is the expiry DAY not month. So MC cannot distinguish between the two contracts?! This is causing major trouble with me (...

Maybe MC can differ between the two contracts?

I mean can not differ between the two contracts. Same symbolroot NG, multiplier, etc., but expiring on different days in Feb 09

When I try to load data for NGH9 it says "No Data". When I try to place an order via API it says "No security definition has been...

Hi Dwar,
yeah exactly. But I would need to run different session on one symbol simutanesly. 2 MCs is not an option for me.

Hi,
I am already using MC, but I need a function to plot the same contract in different self defined sessions. Example:

FDAX DEC 08.

08:00 AM - 02:00 PM
02:00PM - 10:00 PM
08:00 AM - 10:00 PM

I do not see any feature handling this. Any ideas how to get this working?

Thanks,

Hi, so this only happens when you actually have two data sets in one chart window? Right? Otherwise it would be very dangerous for my setup.

Cheers

I am getting the same error message. Also no eSignal inplace.

lantama

To whom it may concern. The workaround seems to be: Just take x hour bars where x > time span defined for session. It takes the iday history and the session time span to build up 'own' bars that are representing 'daily' bars with O,H,L from iDay history. Looks fine and I hope that this is stable (no...
