Is there a way to get the number of decimal places used by an instrument.
e.g. The ES would be 2, for GBP/USD it would be 4 etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks TJ. I simplified and seperated my statements and it seems to work.

Hello, I have a workspace with 6 charts of EURUSD in different resolution. I have a 10 Ticks chart, how can I reload only that one chart and not the others ? I have tried
.rld glob, res=10 Ticks
that did not work

Thank you

My futures charts (bonds, e-mini) are set for electronic sessions, but the charts do not show electronic hour prices.

Hello

I read some post that was talking about "Expert Commentary". But, was is it exactly
I have not found a link that explain it.

Is it to post some commentary above a bar?

Hi, I am looking to do the same thing, but the link to the solution is dead. Is there a replacement link? thanks!

I did add it as a function. Just can't seem to compile it, getting the same error message.

I am not using any function, just trying to compile the above code and getting the error with the compile process.

04.10.12 10:16:37
------ Build started: ------
Study: "TradesToday" (Function)
Please wait ....
------ Compiled with error(s): ------
Compile error
errLine 0, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 0, errColumnEnd 0
causal study: (Function)

I am getting Compile error with the above code in MC8.

Any idea?

I would like to open MC code to add some additional functions. I plan on using C# to write the additional code. Has anyone done anything like this?

Rick

Hello,
Does MC provide auto trend line drawing functionality or is there auto trend line indicator code available?
Thanks

Bingo! Thanks.

I had emailed an MC contact a couple days and was told there were no webinars or documentation, but to try the forum here, or even Big Mike's. Thanks again TJ.

I downloaded MC from AMP trading, but did not see the functions to import the ELD indicators from TS, it seems to be the complete version that will expire in 30 days. Which tab controls the import function

TL_SetStyle(ID1, IB_Style);
TL_SetSize(ID1, IB_LineSize);
Text_New(Date, Time + Text_Offset, HighDay, "OR High");
Text_SetStyle(ID1, 0, 1);

I don't know... but Henry knows

@Henry
What means exactly ETA?
You know I'm French, so...

Have you checked the bartype you are using?

I am using OHLC 1 minute bars. I don't know where to see what value that type of bar is.

It's the default Volume study in MC.

Code: Select all

if BarType >= 2 and BarType < 5 then
Plot1( Volume, "Volume" )
else
Plot1( Ticks, "Volume" ) ;

Still does not help me as I have no understanding of what to do next.

Never mind...D'oh!

I finally de-fogged and saw what you meant: use High_text and Low_text as the IDs

Thanks, TJ!

Is there a way to export the Trade Analysis/Performance Report to excel?

Nevermind, I see that I need to attach a trading account to the strategy.

The alternative question still apply though

How do I get the chart to show the Current position label ? One of my charts show it but the other does not.... see screenshot below. Thank you

The problem only appears when you run the chart online for a few minutes during active trading without modifying it or clicking on it. As the chart scrolls to accommodate new data on the right, the gaps appear on the left.

Questions

1) does iqfeed offer historic upvol and downvol?

2) if not, how do I save the data realtime?

Yeah, the plot on the indicator starts 21 bars after the data series. Is there a way to tell the indicator to get the current bar of a specific series or indicator?

I heard 8.1 is coming out soon...

What are the new features in 8.1?

When will it be released?

i am totally ignorant but does globalvariable do the same as pushpop? i could recode the indicator and substitute one for the other?

i think so, surprised to know such a widely used software cant handle spread trading correctly.

if I have 2 data for 2 different symbol in my chart and want to buy on data1 and sell on data2, how to do this in PL.

do I write

buy "data1" at market;
sell "data2" at market;

i c, so there's no way to get bid and ask from data1, except plot bid,ask separately in the chart and refer them as data2,data3.
right?

InsideBid

Quote Field

Will return the current best Bid.

I tried buy, but seems 'buy' refer to the action of buying

is there another keyword that I can use in PLE to get buy or ask or data?

But how to code to re-calculate at say, 5 minutes before close , when it is a daily chart ?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if it's possible to run both a Trading IB account and a Simulated IB paper account at the same time on MC8?

Is anyone doing this? Is it possible to open two IB connections at the same time using different ports??

Is there a way scan through all instruments based on a set of conditions? For instance, when SP(or any other index) is close to a pivot point I'd like to scan through all symbols and pick up the ones which have good risk/reward ratio. Is this possible?

Hello

When I plot a session break on a chart it plots it overtop the price bar...hiding the price bar...

Any setting to toggle to always plot price bars on top of session breaks and studies (moving averages , etc)

Thanks B

Ok Great.... One issue I just thought about tho, would the fact that I have autosave on, which means that the last instance closed would be the one which would be saved for the next time I loaded one more instances....

Hi everyone,

Anyone can help me with code of autodraw vertical line in 1 minute chart? like every 5 mins and 15 mins past the hour draw vertical time line. See on chart. Thanks a lot.

No idea how to add multiple attachements sorry

Hello,

Functions are not documented yet. We plan to provide the source code and description of the functions in the next version.

TJ, I can't give You an answer to this.
...
Any idea what is wrong?

TJ,

Thanks for the reply. Is slippage the main reason you would not autotrade Renko's? Or is the MC back testing unrealistic?

I can see on the wiki that i can get a sound alert when autotrading is turned off,but How do I get a mail or alert in window?
Here is the Code for Sound alert
...

I have 3 futures broker accounts. Can MC send orders to each broker for the same strategy or do I have to have 3 different workspaces?
