Is it me or PLE is not compiling any study. Yesterday I compiled a couple of studies in it but for some reason today I can't. I even change a compiled study to see if it would compile or maybe the problem would be studies I had just imported but no, the one that was compiled it's no longer able to ...

Can we update to the latest Java version? My TWS is consuming almost 700mb of ram and IB support said to update Java to latest version that it will return back to the 300ish mb. I'm on v9 beta3.

arnie, you can update Java if you are using the latest version of TWS (issued 05 Aug 2014 or later).

When trendlines are being modified you need to change the End point first, then change the Start point. Please find the fixed code attached.

Hello MidKnight,

Unfortunately the fix for this issue was not included in Release Candidate version. It will be included in MultiCharts .NET 9.0 Release. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Henry MultiСharts

What is the MultiCharts .NET equivalent? The changelog for MC .NET 9.0 Beta 1 points to this topic, but it's not mentioned here (or I overlooked it).

It will be added in MultiCharts .NET 9.0 Release

Henry MultiСharts

I'm asking because it does not seem to be happening with MultiCharts .NET64 Version 8.8 Release (Build 8365): I was too soon in responding; the issue also occurs with MC 8.8, but the issue is not with `Bars.Status` but with the `Bars.LastBarOnChart` property (at least, that's the case in the versio...

Hello MidKnight,

We were unable to replicate this behavior in our environment. Updating to MC .NET 9.0 RC from MC .NET 8.8 Release 4 & 5 did not cause any issues with ASCII mapping instruments.

The changelog mentions: An exception occurred while attempting to set a priority list of fonts in the Expert Commentary. Does that mean we can set the fonts in the Expert Commentary? If so, how?

Sorry you're right it works fine. The problem was with the currency USD by EUR. But with MC 9 in some cases the open positios at broker don't appear on chart like 8.8, in others don't appear the position profit and in others appear both. I thinke it's a kind of mismatch with the financial advisor a...

This is not an issue - this is Rithmic broker requirement. We do not manage broker accounts. You need to contact your broker directly to get the list of instrument=trade route compliance for your account.

Henry MultiСharts

In MC 9.0 LMAX connection has been improved and should address the issue you have. Also an option has been added to LMAX broker profile/data feed configuration that allows switching usage of heartbeats for connection loss detection.

Henry MultiСharts

Please contact your broker directly to get the list of instrument=trade route compliance.

Henry MultiСharts

Hello xiaomajia,

Please make sure you are running MultiCharts .NET 9.0 Release Candidate.

Henry MultiСharts

I wonder why all the extra work

Because or Rithmic Trade Route functionality.

can you be logged on all of the different broker profiles at the same time ?

Yes, you can. You need multiple broker profiles for manual trading only.

Hello dennisc,

Function calls insignificantly increase the calculation time but make the code more readable.
Each line of code (which is adding additional operations) increases the calculation time, that is expected.

I'm using it in MC 8.8 from a long time and it works right. I think it's a problem of the last version.

Can you see the Equity for your account in Order and Position Tracker window->Accounts tab?

I know I can see the current open positions at broker but I want to see the net sum of my strategies position to see if it is match with the broker position. For instance if I have ten strategies on SPY and they sum 9394 shares it must match with 9394 shares at broker. If in Portfolio trader you pu...

This example just shows that the data on the chart and in the data loader is the same. You need to create your own code in order to synchronize it, or use CustomInstrument in MultiCharts .NET 9.0.

Hello lianhc,

There is no way to obtain the amount of genetic optimization calculations before running it.

Henry MultiСharts

arnie, if there are indicators calculated on a hidden series then there is no way to completely eliminate it's indexes as they are required for indicator plot.

Henry MultiСharts

There is no ETA for the fix of this issue at the moment.

Hello lianjose,

That is a known issue. it will be resolved in MultiCharts 9.0 Release.

Henry MultiСharts

One bug in last MC 9 realease candidate version is that GetRTAccountEquity funtion doesn't work with Interactive Broker.

This function has been tested - it works ok. Make sure you are using the function properly and that auto trading is enabled on this chart.

Henry MultiСharts

Hello Pablo,

You can find information regarding the current open positions at broker on Positions tab in Order and Position Tracker window of Portfolio Trader. If you need a different value then you can calculate it yourself and plot it in the Custom Text column.

TCust, please go to Format->Drawing. If the drawings have the study name in "Base Data #" column then they are based on the study and will remain on the chart if you change the instrument. If you want the drawing to be based on the instrument then you need to right click on your chart and go to Visu...

The behavior of PositionProfit has been changed in MultiCharts 8.7 Beta 1. Since that version (available since 04/31/2013) PositionProfit returns the value for the closed trades only.

I have also updated the Wiki and prebuilt chm file. The updated chm will be included into MultiCharts 9.0 Release.

And what happens is that the calculation of code in the signal is sometimes differently calculated as the same code in the indicator. Especially when using functions. And getting the same data at the same time as it is plotted by the indicator on the chart, in the signal, is hard work. evdl, have y...

Henry MultiСharts

Thank you for the references however they do not accomplish what is needed (at least in my requirement).

shane, for this chart please go to Format->Strategy Properties-> Properties-> select the desired currency in “Preferred currency” selector.

what data i need to put in so it`s should be daily pivots?

'Floor_Trader_Pivots' calculates pivots on a daily basis on both daily and intra-day charts.
'Pivot_High', 'Pivot_Low', 'Pivot_Rev_Gen__Dn' and 'Pivot_Rev_Gen__Up' calculate pivots based on the selected chart resolution

javamarket, evdl, there are two helpful features that should be useful for you: 1. Study on study .

So in short: accessing a datastream via dataloader for tick by tick analysis and expecting the obvious, that is, to match up with the mainstream is not possible unless I choose to use beta software?

Do you want the price to remain on the same level and the bars to form around it? Since we can't have a static DOM due to TT's patent, the idea here would be to have a "static" volume delta.
