MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

TJ

the symbol is @le#c

why i must to use Custom futures? my friends use this symbol on mc and it's OK

the problem is in my multichart

Please reload the data.

TJ

For continuous future contracts, please use MultiCharts' Custom Future feature. MultiCharts will make the rollover adjustments for you.

TJ

You are using the continuous contract. The symbol just had a rollover?

TJ

It is a rabbit hole... I would not waste time pursuing it.

Is it possible to use (SetPeg) function in Multicharts ?

You can begin by describing one specific problem -- take ONE example trade, with specific BUY/SELL triggers, fills, and describe what do you think is wrong.

TJ

Where are you located?
What exchanges are you trading?

Does this have to do with your computer time being different than the exchange time?

TJ

Yes, I have IOG enabled

With IOG enabled, your logic will be evaluated every tick (instead of at EOB),
and your order will be sent IMMEDIATELY when the condition is met, it will not wait until the next bar.

Please go to Wiki to study the operation of IOG.

TJ

Not running thru my brokerage account, just letting strategy run in real time using RT data from Esignal

Are you using IOG?

Seems like a coding error.

Please post your codes if you need further help.

TJ

Sim

Paper trading account?
Which broker?

InteractiveBrokers have the best paper trading account, because they use real live data feed that is exactly the same as your money account.

TJ

Yes, I understand that, however often I get fills near the low of bar and lower than the opening, that would not happen if a buy at market order went in right at the opening of the next bar.

Are you talking about SIM or BACKTEST?

TJ

A common coding in a LE script, after conditions are met is often something like "Buy ( "MA2CrossLE" ) next bar at market" So in a liquid market like CL, that should mean getting filled around 1 tick above the bar opening value. But I find this is almost never the case when running the in sim mode ...

TJ

ok...but i don't understand how i solve my problem

No codes. I think if I can make an indicator to count ticks during each Renko brick, that would solve the problem. On renko, MC can only Build Volume On Trade Volume, but Forex data has no trade volume, only tick volume.

You can already do that with EasyLanguage.

Please post your codes.

What is "lots of charts"?

TJ

every day from 01.01. to 31.12, 365 days per year

Do you mean you want to see the "Empty periods"? ( but no data )

ie Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, etc.,?

Right Click on your chart
Select "Format Window"
Under the "X-Time Scale" tab
check the box for "Show Empty Periods"

TJ

Hi TJ thank you for response.
I mean not market data, but calendar data.
So i mean, every day in calendar data, including weekend too.

No Erocla

What are the calendar data you are looking for?

Can you give some examples?

TJ

There is a way to show all calendar data on chart regardless the instrument ?

Thank you
No Erocla

Please explain what do you mean by "Calendar data"?

This can also be a result of another program consuming a lot of the hard drive resources. For example, I noticed that whenever Windows Antimalware scan runs (windows 10) I have a lot of unprocessed quotes. Good point. But why would you do a virus scan during market hours? You should schedule the sc...

I have a chart where I plotted same instrument with different time frames data1 = 5 minutes data2 = 30 minutes Then I created following indicator.

Any place where I can check the rules of Parabolic SAR, specifically when the previous bar Parabolic is violated and a new Parabolic is calculated ? I know that this is in extreme past range of Hi-Lo of previous bars (it's easy to see that visually) but there is any link to read specific rules, pre...

Is there a way (or is it possible) to obtain candle bars that are not spaced evenly from each other? This would be useful when using tick or volume charts, where one may want to space them based on time only. I know one platform has this feature (NT) and it would be great if MC has it as well. Inte...

Hi, I would like to integrate a local platform called profichart that provides real time and historical tick data (unsupported by multicharts) in order to use it on multicharts.

I know someone who has commissioned a programmer to do the link. It cost him US$12,000.
No, I do not have a copy of the said software. And I don't think he is interested in sharing either.

Unfortunately, it happens all the time -- the brokers make changes without fully testing the changes, and without fully disclosing the changes to the 3rd party software. InteractiveBrokers was like that too.

Using the latest version of 11, I have tried both legacy and V20. It takes a really really long time for a chart to open. More important than that, it seems that since OANDA made changes to its data, the live traded signals are no longer in sync with a historic chart 100% of the time. This last iss...

Thanks for your tests.

What is your computer spec?

There are 3 authentication servers located around the world.

MC is programmed to search out another server if one is down.

Will installing a 32-bit MC and a 64-bit MC help? These would be 2 QMs and 2 databases, right?

You will need 2 licenses to run 2 copies of MC at the same time.

i thought the code below would turn trade_on to false. So 1. when an order is placed above a high and i'm filled. 2. When bars between time order is placed is greater than bars_valid. if marketposition = 1 then trade_on = false; if (BarNumber - bar_number) > Bars_valid then trade_on= false Read my ...

I'm trying to figure out how i can keep an order open for set number of bars. At the moment the code below is what i can come up with. The trade_on variable doesn't seem to be resetting, so after an entry, buy stops are still placed even though the long condition is false. if long_condition then be...

In your code,
do you have plot1 and plot2 first, then plot3?

This is a procedural language,
the codes are executed line-by-line, from top to bottom.

TJ

The plots are layered according to the plot number.

Plot1 is at the lowest bottom, and plot2 is above it, and so on.

TJ

Go to your PowerLanguage Editor,

look at the bottom half of the window,

click on the "Output" tab.

TJ

Try this:

If ( UP ) then Plot1( High[0] );
