Hello Walter,

Unfortunately there is no way to reset the initial capital each year during backtesting at the moment.
That is possible to increase the initial portfolio capital value and specify the % of capital at risk per position in Portfolio Settings to do the money management you need.

Disabling the logs is required to free up the threads that are logging MultiСharts activity so that all resources can be utilized by the optimization. That is recommended to turn the logs back on after the tests by importing the AllTradesOn64.reg file from the same zip file.

Before you start using MultiCharts, make sure your PC meets the following system requirements:Tech Specs.
Basically the required hardware depends on your needs and your setup. Just trace the system performance with your individual configuration and upgrade the weak components.

Henry, no, that's not what I mean. The order is resend about once per bar and is rejected until the market comes back down below the stop price. When the market goes back up to the entry price it would be filled. In case of a breakout you probably won't get a fill as the market stays above the entr...

Hello siscop,

There is no way to change the chart background color from the code or plot solid background from indicator. You can plot vertical trendlines if you need to color a certain part of the screen but that is not the best performance and display solution.

There is no way to do that.

Henry, thank you for explaining this feature. It works as it prevents the overfill, but at the same time it prevents a fill, too. The problem is that only the stop gets executed and the broker (LMAX in this case) rejects the entry orders with the message "Reason: STOP_WOULD_BE_TRIGGERED_IMMEDIATELY...
