Hello franky,

What exact version and build number of MultiCharts are you running? (in MultiCharts go to Help tab-> About)
Are you able to replicate this behavior on a constant basis?
Have you modified the prebuilt _ChartToolBar_Trading_ signal?

Henry MultiСharts

Hello champski,

Please refer to the following article: How to make indicator and signal calculation results the same.

Henry MultiСharts

Hello Karol,

That is expected behavior. As we have already discussed it in a different thread - you just need to have two calculations of the function with the length you need, then plot the results based on condition whether it is real-time calculation or historical calculation.

Henry MultiСharts

I reviewed the referenced link but I am not sure if I need to define two profiles; one for short and one for long OR will it work to just set the current account? You need to have a single broker profile. I am not sure that just setting the "currentaccount" would be enough since it seems that it wo...

Hello tesiag,

That is possible to assign the variable only after the actual position for the instrument changes.

Henry....thanks...but I think U are referencing B/A Volume totals per day, no? I'm looking for the "Sum" of the 10 levels for the Bid & Ask. Please see my pic above. The Bid and Ask volume sums in DOM window are the sums of the current volume across all available levels. This is not the total volum...

Hello fibdax,

% Chg value is taken from the chart status line and is streamed by the data provider.
Make sure you have not reached the limit of available realtime tickers from IB and that you can see this value in IB TWS window and on a chart in MultiCharts.

Henry MultiСharts

hi Henry,
No bug with your last release, no system crash, no system popup ....
Just your popup "digital rights management lost"

Hope this can help you

Please specify the time when “digital rights management lost” message appeared.

I am new to Multicharts. I got the following questions for converting my TS ELD to Multicharts. They are as follows: 1. I am using "Method void WriteCurrency()". It does not like the void statement on the compile. I search on it in and found it is supported but I don't see any examples on the synta...

Henry MultiСharts

If not, I'd suggest looking into switching things to AA mode. This will cut your latency issues in half seeing as MC will not have to confirm orders on its end. I'm a little unsure of the process of exact process of things. I think this is how it works- SA mode: 1. Data to MC, 2. MC to Order Server...

Henry MultiСharts

Hello champski,

Tick and Minute (hourly) bars are two separate data streams. Both are provided by LMAX data provider. Hourly bars are built out of Minute data. That is not relevant to compare tick data and hourly bars.

Henry MultiСharts

The Bid and Ask volume sums are available in MultiCharts DOM as native functionality since MultiCharts 8.8 Release. Make sure you are running the latest build.

Henry MultiСharts

hairyMug, that will work, but this is unmanaged orders approach. With this approach you are responsible for managing your orders. Please refer to the following post for more information.

Henry MultiСharts

The difference is in the data requests and in the data processing. TPO requests rough 1 tick data, indicator processes the data and plots the results on the chart. While Volume Profile requests Volume Delta resolution, that is being formed by the TsServer.

Hello shane1800,

When TotalTrades is too low the output results are too low as well.
For example TotalTrades = 10, then p = 20, but L = 1 / 485165196.41
When TotalTrades = 50 then the output results are more significant.

Henry MultiСharts

HPF, we continue the analysis of this case on our end. In the meantime you can use the workaround provided by LinxDeb or enable the option "Build from minutes" in Format->Instrument->Settings tab.

Henry MultiСharts

Unfortunately there is no technical possibility for implementing this functionality at the moment.

Henry MultiСharts

MaRCHeW, that is possible to deferintiate whether now is historical calculation or real-time calculation using IApplicationInfo.IsRealTimeCalc Property.

There is also a known issue with LastBarOnChart that you need to be aware of.

Fabrice, I have asked our engineers to provide a hotfix for this issue if there is a technical possibility. I will update the thread once I have any feedback on this case.

Hello Fabrice and JoshM,

This is a limitation of the current implementation of MaxBarsBack functionality.
Unfortunately there is no technical possibility to change this behavior at the moment.

Henry MultiСharts

Hello Arnie,

TPO requires tick data. This indicator in MultiCharts shows that there is some data that was loaded, but not yet processed (plotted in MultiCharts). That is possible that there is not enough PC processing power to process the data without putting it into a queue.

Henry MultiСharts

Fabrice,

Please find an example how to convert an array of data into ISeries here.

Hello Fabrice,

That is possible to access the required information using the TradeManager.

CQG has multiple APIs. Continuum is one of them. It is not currently supported in MultiCharts.

We will check that.
