MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Not to beat a dead horse since Henry said the TradingServer.exe RAM usage should be fixed in the next update, but just to update, this is its RAM usage today: http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/download/file.php?id=6188 My total usage is over 7gb right now. Its like the process just grows until i...

Can you get a screen shot of the "Performance" tab. (the whole window, not just the upper graph) What is the reason of your original post? Are you getting error messages? If so, please get a screenshot or take a picture of the message. http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/download/file.php?id=6175...

WarEagle, do you place any trades manually? If yes-how many? Which exact broker profiles do you usually have connected? Please let me know if you notice TradingServer.exe process using a lot of RAM again. I do most of my trading manually...usually 10-20 trades per day. I always have Rithmic Live an...

WarEagle

WarEagle, couple of questions: 1) which data provider and broker do you use ? 2) how many charts with Auto trading=On do you have? 3) are the signals running in IOG mode? 4) what is the RAM usage if you have no auto trading enabled? 5) how long does it take for MC to start using 4.5gig of RAM ? Hi ...

Oops, sorry, I accidentally removed the attachments before posting and they were deleted from the forum server. I edited the post to put them back in. I do use a lot of drawing objects. I go back over my charts each day and mark up trades I missed (or wish I had missed) and then put a screenshot in ...

You are using MultiCharts64, you will never have memory problem. Maybe you guys could help me out. I have a similar ...

Excellent idea

Hi guys I am pleased to announce that i finally got my project working the way I intended it. After many long nights and many many <dumb> mistakes its working. I think I can fill a couple of notebooks on the wrong way to do stuff.

Thanks again for your tips and assistance.

WarEagle

No Problem. The meaningful variable name has a capital to separate every word so that they are a little easier/faster to understand while at the same time saving some space. heh, you are correct - I did notice that and have adopted that for my own work. Thanks for the code TJ. That helps a great de...

WarEagle

Thanks for the clarifican bowlesj3. I am working on your test now. I do see the value of your self-documenting programming. that something that i never really considered. it takes a bit if thought on the front-end but certainly will help in the future! thanks again for the tips. as you can tell i am...

WarEagle

Hi bowlesj3 - thanks for your reply. I was thinking along the same lines as you. I do like your idea of testing the values. As I swim deeper in the powerlanguage waters, I am finding the documenting that you mentioned essential. I guess this indicator is not documented since it comes with the MC pac...

Hi All, here is a snippet of code taken from the trendlines automatic study that comes with MC. begin for Value1 = 9 downto 0 begin arr0[ Value1 + 1 ] = arr0[Value1] ; arr1[ Value1 + 1 ] = arr1[Value1] ; arr2[ Value1 + 1 ] = arr2[Value1] ; end ; arr0[0] = Date[SwHiStrength] ; arr1[0] = Time[SwHiStre...

WarEagle

TJ and phil, great suggestions, both. Thanks for the tips. I can see the advantage of commenting code.

WarEagle

you need to give more information if you expect any help. a diagram would help. a flow chart would be even better. a snippet of work-in-progress would definitely motivate some responses. Hi TJ, thanks for the response. How about all 3? Not "expecting" help here, just relying on the folks that are s...

Hi, I am attempting to write some code that will take say the last 10 swing highs, and then filter those highs based on other criteria. Those filtered highs would be the ones i want to use in the indicator. I have an array set up for the initial 10 highs. Does anyone have an example of how I can use...

WarEagle

Hi, is there a way to create a flag for a trendline in PL? As an example, I have 2 trendlines on a chart, and I would like to use one of them as an "active" trendline for automated trading. I would like to make an on/off flag for my trendlines for different scenarios. Thanks in advance.

WarEagle

I deleted a post about a pirate version as a good alternative because I consider it offensive to discuss such illegal alternatives on the developer’s home site. couldnt agree with you more Andrew. I thought that post was very inappropriate. I appreciate TSS stand on the DRM issue. I knew this issue...

2. the authorization server was down That is a huge concern to me. One that frankly I dont think MC has addressed very well. So far, all has been OK, but it could be likely that some kind of failure is coming at some point. (they always do) I fully understand that the risk is on me if I want to aut...

marina thanks for all of your help.best wishes to you. you will be missed.

hi reitburg,

for the free quotes the symbol is EURUSD=X.

WarEagle

Thank you for the appreciation! The $399 price is not available anymore. It was an extract from our old ad with conditions. Andrew, I received an email with an auto generated discount on the gold edition. thank you. i was interested in buying an additional license or maybe 2 to run on multiple comp...

You can buy MultiCharts for only $399 (or $49/m) and save your money in the nearest future, getting your copy of the full-featured platform and all future upgrades for free.” Hi Andrew, where do we go to get the $399 price? The home page has $1497 on it still. Congratulations on a fine product. You...

WarEagle

Roll Tide !!!!

haha! You are a funny guy.

when you set up the continuous contract for #ES use EM as the exchange. also, you have to do this manually. the cont contract wont be on the popluated list.

hope that helps

WarEagle

Which exchange do you have to have for the #EM ? I use the EM exchange and the EC

According to opentick, the exchange for EM (libor futures) is MT. same for EC Euro FX.

WarEagle

4 Opentick needs to add a continous symbol for the main futs symbols

OT does have continuous contracts...for example ES is #ES.

WarEagle

If you have an autotrade strategy that say quits generating entry signals at 3pm eastern and the strategy has an open position at that time, will MC continue to manage that open position per the strategy? The line of code that I have in the strategy is: if time >= StartTime and time < EndTime then b...

Hey guys, is anyone having trouble charting the new E-mini Russell contract on ICE? i have it set up in QM, and it is collecting data, but I cannot get the contract to chart in MC. It says "no symbol found."

anyone else having this problem? thanks

WarEagle

Marina, it worked beautifully! Everything is working just fine now. Many thanks. Where can I Paypal you a tip?

WarEagle

Thanks Marina. I will give it a try this evening. I am away from my machine in the daytime, so I am unable to have anyone from support to connect. Thanks again.

WarEagle

Hello Marina, here is the error log for my compiler. Thank you for your time with this. You are very kind.

This happens on a certain PC and I don't know why.

It seems that all user studies fail to compile in this case.

Please check.

I have this issue as well. I have no idea how to get it fixed

WarEagle

Not sure btrader2. I restart my machine every day, so MC gets closed and re-loaded. I guess I will have to run another chart program so I can get good charts today.

WarEagle

Yes btrader2, I opened up quotetracker and ran it side by side, and the problem is definitely with multicharts. I didnt reinstall like you did. I hope this gets fixed!

WarEagle

I noticed this too today, only with ER2 contract. Everything was running fine before today. Today the ER2 was 3-4 minutes behind. Very frustrating! No other contracts experienced a lag

WarEagle

Any update on this? I had read on another thread (but I can't seem to find the post now) that it would be out this past week.

WarEagle

Wallace, I am using the dde from MT so maybe I can help. The template for MT 3.x is already built in. If you are using MT4 you will have to make a slight modification. In the QuoteManager, go to Tools...Data Sources and then select Universal DDE and click Settings... Select MT from the template drop...
