Evidently it Was My connection that was broken per your # 2. below, as no one else has posted having the same problem. I was not in front of the screen at the time this incident happened, and things were working normally again when I found those warning notices. so there was no need for the ping tes...
Thanks TJ, as mentioned, the connection to live data came back at 2:50 am, at the exact time DRM said it had re-established connection. I was not using a MC version that had the DRM when the big blowup about it occurred some time ago and there were many posts about it to TSS - this is my first encou...
Thanks for the reply TJ, I am in the CT zone, so my above posted times would be one hour earlier than ET. The first warning that DRM system had been lost was in a pink colored rectangle, and the notice that it was again working was in a white one. I do not use that computer for normal internet conne...
Greetings, Did anyone else lose their data connections because the MC 'DRM' system was lost early this morning? (Mar 4) In my part of the world there was a message that the connection to the DRM had been lost at 1:47 am and then was re-established at 2:50 am. In Quote Manager I see that the connecti...
Bob,Ant,All, I had an acquaintance whom I lost contact with several years ago, who owned his own seat at the Merc since sometime back in the 60's. Not sure the exact turn of events as far as his leasing out some of his seat rights, but he did maintain his trading rights so that when he left the floo...
I 'believe' that TS management has relayed in the past that the "MC" platform Will Have Fully Integrated Chart Trading capabilities along with full featured DOM capabilities. Given TS Support's proven record of taking on such a venerable competitor like TS and making a better product, I see no reaso...
We are completing MultiCharts 6 and will launch beta testing in November. The long-awaited playback and order/position tracker is done. As well as other exciting features... Yes, Good News indeed Andrew! I've had some long term illness but hopefully once again will be in the midst of the trading are...
Sounds good Andrew - hopefully MC will surpass NT and others in Order Entry, Trade Management, Chart Trading, etc that seems a requisite for many of todays very short term oriented traders.
Wishing you much happiness and success in all your endeavors. Best, Dear MultiCharts users, This is the last forum topic I will post as a MultiCharts support representative. I am leaving the company - to move to a different city, country and occupation. I am not very good at farewell speeches, so I'...
I agree with HaeRim, this would make things easier and more intuitive for a lot of users. One further clarification, I believe a Long time ago it was mentioned that Deleting a contract in QM got rid of All the data, is this still true? For instance, a trader has 70 days of collected 24 hour tick dat...
This subject about "rollovers', "perpetual future contracts", "continuous contracts" etc has been going on here for many years, including just what the best all around method would be, or if there should be multiple choices available. I am not sure just what methodology the TSS folks are going to us...

Andrew, I have not been following this DRM thread very long, does this mean that all the past times that you and other support personnel told us that MC will continue to 'WORK' for 30 days between connection times to your network, is no longer valid? If this is an effort to prevent unauthorized use,...

I do not have too much confidence in these polls - here is one from about a year ago where tss Andrew states - "The items with most votes will receive the highest priority and will have the biggest impact on our plans" In this poll the most votes were cast for 'Futures Rollover' - this poll is about...
Is the key still showing in the "help, Registration code" entry? I can't get into MC to push the Help button. The window comes up while its loading and you have a choice register or cancel. I put in my registration number but it doesn't accept it. It must be a new feature. J~ Exact same problem her...
Hi All, I am a bit confused as to what the GOLD release is all about. I purchased MC way back in the beginning. When I purchased it I was told in a email that I would receive lifetime updates for free. Has that changed somewhere along the way ? Thanks It has been discussed here at various times Tho...
Welcome Back Marina, I hope that you enjoyed your 'stateside' visit! I do hope however, that the oft quoted "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" is not completely true in your case as I am almost sure that you have learned some new things about what successful traders of most any nationality want...
Thanks to everyone for your interesting postings. Peter's post seems amusing as it appears he joined the list just today. [11/19/08] With out searching all the posts, I seem to recall that Marina relayed something to the effect that even if one does not want all the extra cost upgrades in the future...
Greetings all, Did all MC owners receive an e-mail this morning from Stefan Knittel, sales manager for TSsupport titled as above subject, and pushing to sell the MC Pro version for 'just' $9900.00? I know their current business model has changed quite a bit over ths past 3 or more years, and some of...
Hi traderstuff, Here is an update on the fractional price scale: Fractional price scales will be supported in 4.1 version. I apologize for all the delays that you have experienced so far. Regards. ****** Good to hear Marina! How about the extended time to load data - did anyone check? Here is an ea...
Hi Marina, Hi traderstuff, I have tried to answer all of your questions below: We have been planning to add fractional scales for quite a while now (as you pointed out). We are still planning to support those and soon. We already have specifications outlined. However, I still don't have an ETA for t...
Is the new beta 4 MC version Finally able to Correctly chart the 10 year and 30 year interest rate contracts? If so, please provide the correct settings to use. This feature ( actually Neccesity ) has been requested and promised for over 3 years, some of the older posts are not even on this current ...
Hi guys, As for the patch to ensure the continued work of MultiCharts should TS Support go out of business, I will pass your suggestion on to our developers. Regards. **** It should not be necessary to notify the developers as your predecessor Kate wrote to me during Feb of 2007 that your CEO alrea...
Does anyone find Tom Demarks indicator usable on MC? He has a whole bunch of indicators that he 'trademarked' and had a programmer write into EasyLanguage. Unless you have them already, or know someone who does, they are not commercially available for TS any longer, -afaik. CQG and Bloomberg got th...
Unless there are some new rules in the past year, MC has allowed a second copy of the program to be used by the original purchaser on a 2nd computer that is NOT used online and used for things like writing and testing strategies,etc. MC support has to be contacted and a request to authorize the 2nd ...
Thank You for the reply Marina. Best, Andrew, In your original post you suggest that the MC version of contract rollover ( continuous contracts ) will be the same or similar to what has been in Ensign for quite some time. Does this also include the fill in data from DTN ? No, this isn't related to D...
This subject of "ROLLOVER" or "CONTINUOUS" contracts has been disussed here for years - some posts not available any longer. Please see the latest feature polls posted by Andrew and you should find that on this particular poll this was the most requested feature. http://forum.tssupport.com/viewtopic...

Thank you all for your replies and especially the 'official' tssupport one from Marina. My initial post cited several 'what if' examples that were just taken off the top of my head - so to say. The third one - ie: " 3. After the 'Gold release new features are added that were disussed previously. - n...
Greetings, In your update letter, among other things regarding the scheduled price increases, it includes the following - " MultiCharts 3.0 will sell at a significant price premium to MultiCharts version 2.1. By purchasing MultiCharts version 2.1 now, you will save money and be able to take advantag...
[quote]Hi TJ, I didn't want to impose on anyone by asking to have it translated. The other thing is that someone at the AB site posted it for other members to use and I wouldn't feel right about copying it for use with MC. What I may do is ask the person if I could have it converted to MC and see if...
I'm thinking of purchasing an add-on for Multicharts. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Roy Kelly, if you could kindly state your impressions. I'm new to trading and wanted a tool to accelerate the learning curve *** I am not a typical customer of Roy Kelly, but can say wholehearted...
I am changing the sequence of two words I wrote in the above post - " Like others have mentioned, including myself, we have a vested interest in the continuing success of MC, as we have purchased the program, but a much greater reason is in using MC as a major tool to help traders trade profitabilit...

Andrew, As was pointed out in a previous message, Marina, a member of your staff stated last year that the chart trading feature 'would' be part of MC by the end of this current quarter. I sincerely hope that this is not going to be reneged on. I side with ABC who relayed that he would like to see B...
Was just wondering who the folks are at "Multicharts.net" I did not see a mention of them on your website,and they do not offer the outright purchase option. Furthermore they are located in Ft. Lauderdale,Fl., which is really close to TS. :) Just Google 'multicharts' and they are right on top with a...

Marina, Hello, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. In a nutshell, the general idea is as follows: the portfolio concept suggested by Ryan, includes not only primary instruments but also those that are purely informational. Previously, we were going to consider all the instruments in a...
Marina, Since these were posted on the public users forum,why can't you post the answers here? There are probably others besides me who would apprerciate reading the official response. Thanks Hello, Since you contacted us directly I we won't be posting the answer to your suggestion here on forum. Th...
Hello, Weren't gaps filling for all the resolutions? Usually, if you have minute resolutions the gaps won't start filling automatically: you need to close and open the workspace or the chart again. For tick resolutions gaps should be filled automatically. As for the pacing violation, it is not the ...
I am not sure if this should be posted here or with a new title -"BUG" . Am positive something similar has been posted before concerning an older version of MC. Using latest MC ver#1109 under Win XP Pro,I did not change the IB TWS (ver874.4 (July-2007) to exit in the a.m.,so last night it shut down ...

Marina wrote - Hello, Could you please clarify what you thing was wrong in that statement? In what way do you think MC changes data from IB? *** Please check your IB screen for the electronic US Bonds symbol ZB,you will find it shown with the fractional '32nds'.

When a symbol expires it is still shown in QuoteManager window. To delete this symbol you need to run QuoteManager, right-click the symbol and choose "Delete Symbol".
Thank you Marina,
OK,when I delete the symbol from Quotemanager,will that automatically delete ALL the data files for that symbol?
The only way to partially delete the data is to do it manually in QuoteManager. Right-click the symbol, go to Edit Data. A dialogue window will be called up. There you will be able to delete the records you do not need. ________________________________ Over time many futures symbols expire and are n...
Marina wrote > "When data is received in MC it is not changed. We show it the way data sources feed this data." That is weird as many have complained that MC is NOT able to chart US Bond prices in the correct format,which is in the fractional format of '32nds'. It is not only Bonds,other contracts a...
Here is a quote from another IB 3rd party list in which the poster relays this is direct from IB - ***** "We allow 60 backfill requests within a 5 minute period.
