Hello Hamid,

In order to use multiple data series in the Playback you need to add the required data series to your chart and reference it from the code, instead of using the DataLoader.

Hello veritasig, 1) TWS shows bar open time, MultiCharts shows bar close time. If you need to change the Time Zone for your chart - here is how to do that. 2) Most likely you are plotting different Quote Fields in MultiCharts and TWS. Here is how to configure it in MultiCharts. In TWS go to Edit->Ch...

StefanoSF,

If you have single account in TWS then you can try using the "Get from TWS" Unrealized Profit Calculation Mode. It should include the commission.

Hello John,

There is no direct access to generated and filled order timestamps.

wilkinsw,

Both of your cases will be filled the same way - when limit order assumption is enabled the limit order is filled without price improvement at limit price.
When limit order assumption is disabled the limit order can be filled with price improvement at limit price or better.

Hello andywill,

Are you able to replicate the same behavior with commission and slippage disabled?

Henry MultiСharts

I'm saying it shouldn't be filled at the limit price in this situation. The open/session restarts is a time where price improvement DOES occur if the open is at a better price than ones limit price. You literally get matched at the opening price. If the new MC beta is now filling limit orders only ...

So FXCM charts are only available through a additional subscription for MCFX? Because the broker would provide historical data free of charge. Not sure why there is a monthly $100 fee for this..

That is correct. This is per agreement with FXCM.

Hi,

i cant find FXCM as datasource in Quotemanager. It doesnt seem to be there. How can i get charts from fxcm? I can connect it as broker from within MC tho.
