Ok Barstatus(0-2): 0:Open,1:Intrabar,2:Close. As this strategy is applied to Daily Bars with IntrabarCalculation I dont get your point here. Your mind is focused on a "Daily" strategy, but in fact, your logic is an intra-day one, because you are making intra-day evaluations and decisions....

The ticks provided by IB are not real ticks; they are aggregated ticks.
I don't know if this is the cause of your discrepancy. This is something you need to put in mind during your debugging.

Hi, many have very individual requirements on certain chart types. MC already has a large number of types. It would be most flexible if you could program your own chart type via script.

Have you installed all the Windows update and service packs?
It is a pain to do all the update, but one old patch can throw the programs into disarray.

Probably your wsp is corrupted.

Have you tried creating a new wsp?
Would a new wsp behave the same? ie randomly turn off some indicators?

TJ

Please uninstall MultiCharts and install it again.
You need to perform uninstall/install of the application instead of repair/update.

You can keep the user data, no need to delete it.

Please do a back up before uninstalling.

Hello all, If I'm understanding MaxBarsBack I'm not able to code this property into a signal? Or is that strictly SetMaxBarsBack? I believe I can code an indicator? Can I code this into a function? It would be a simple function counting Bars from a defined start point and adding that to the MaxBars...

TJ

You have to learn how to debug.

This is a coding error.

Hi TJ ... of course it's no question of intelligence of the indicator calculation.

You need to put PRINT statement at ALL the junctures.

You need to PRINT the variables values at every turn.
You need to PRINT the conditions values at every decision.

Then set the style to "Invisible Bars" if you don't want to see it.

I have one more question.... Most processors use hyperthreading, this means that the number of logical cores is twice as big as the number of physical ones. Logical cores don’t give any advantages in speed. Please try to set the NumberOfThreadsOnOptimization=the number of real cores on your PC. The...

I have a strategy on Gold futures that uses SetBreakEven and SetStopLoss. The SetBreakEven worked in the MC chart where I have the strategy but MC didn't send the BE stop loss order to the broker. Hoewever, I did get stopped out at a loss when the SetStopLoss order triggered. The result is that I h...

If it is not an oscillator, what is it that you are looking for?

You need to describe what does this indicator do.

Good morning to All, this is my first post here, thus I beg your pardon if mistakes are done. I have a trading system that shows stop losses clusters.

Hi TJ, I mean to buy fully automated the top 10 stock in performance of the dow without manual interference. The strategy should have buy and sell and do all the calculation.

TJ

Let’s say I want to buy the top 10 stocks from the day of the dow on fully autotrade…. Is there an easy way to do that with the portfolio trader or any other MC product (scanner?) or do I have to use 30 lines and data 1-30 on the autotrade of the portfolio trader - that would make 900 data entries ...

As i have said i use 10 min bar chart. If the 10 min bar closes at 6:00 pm the chart marks the end of the official session (no new bars after this time). At that point the open orders at broker are not new evaluated because MultiCharts don't do this (IOG = Off) and the session is over. I think it i...

Threadripper is not real thread.

When you are doing optimization, you need to use real threads.
This is just basic computer logic. There are no shortcuts. There are no free lunches.

Tell me, what's wrong here? I'm trading with a normal 10 min bar chart and the market is closing officially at 6:00 pm. After 6:00 we have after market trading with low volum.

Go to the wiki

Find the section -- 8 PowerLanguage Keyword Reference

Go to the tab for -- Trendline Drawing‎ (65 P)

There are 65 keywords related to trendline drawing.
