Well I figured out that like in this sample code below I cannot repeat the label of a signal more than once, Or I get that error...In this example the word "cover". But in the last version it was never an issue, so now I have to go back through all my signals that have some same labels and edit them...Is there anyway to fix this issue or have it compile the way it used to?
Code: Select all
if time > (1300) then begin
if MarketPosition = 1 then begin
sell ("cover") this bar at close;
end
else if MarketPosition = -1 then begin
BuyToCover ("cover") this bar at close;
end;
end;
Another bug I found was when viewing the Strategy Performance Report, When viewing a 12 month summary in the Monthly Period Analysis window, it only shows the last months performance, all the other months are shown as N/A...But it does show a whole years worth of trades in the Dialy Period Analysis and everywhere else...I tested it on many different signals and reports the same way.

There is no way to compile those codes the way it was done in the previous version. The new implementation is more correct and accurate. We have introduced stricter compilation rules in the beta version. Codes containing the orders with the same name can't be compiled any longer.
Best regards.

Hi,
The message that MultiCharts.1123.3152_Beta1.exe is not valid win32 application means that the file got corrupted during downloading. It has probably been caches in your browser as well, so downloading it on the same computer would result in the same error.
What you could do is either downlad MultiCharts onto a different computer or contact us through LiveChat and ask our customer support representatives to upload the program onto your machine directly - via HelpDesk.

historical data download
For some symbols on IB I have problem to download historical data when the description is changed. For example if I add the symbol 6BH8 the description that is automatically built is "USD MAR08 Futures 6BH8", now if I change the description in "GBP/USD MAR08 Futures", when I add the symbol in MC is not more able to download or backfill historical data.
Re: historical data download
Wow, this solves at least the riddle why i couldn't get the history of some symbols. I changed the descriptionFor some symbols on IB I have problem to download historical data when the description is changed. For example if I add the symbol 6BH8 the description that is automatically built is "USD MAR08 Futures 6BH8", now if I change the description in "GBP/USD MAR08 Futures", when I add the symbol in MC is not more able to download or backfill historical data.
Would be great if the description doesn't make problems with the backfill or it shouldn't be changeable.

Indicators are still crashing. The program is useless until you fix this.

Hello dupl,
According to MultiCharts license policy, if you have one license of the software, it can only be run on one single computer at a time. Under one license you can repeatedly download any of the available versions - but it can only be run on one computer - irrespective of the version.
Best regards.

Re: Strategy Performance Report
New bugs has been introduced with the new release :
1) The monthy returns are wrong.
2) The strategy performance report doesn't refresh is the strategy's
settings are changed while the report window is open.
3) During optimization the transaction cost and slippage are not more
taken into account that's mean the the genetic optimizer will try to
find silly solution that permit to earn 100.000$ with an average of
5$ for trade, that including the trasaction cost and slippage would
be discarded by the optimizer.
4) The workspace format with the new version are not compatible so
is not more possible downgrade to the previous release, please
if you think to change the workspace file format, post an utility
that allow to downgrade to the previous version.
Regards.
P.S. I think that in the new version has been introduced very important features but is also important don't introduce new bugs, please fix them asap.
1) The monthy returns are wrong.
This bug has been fixed.
2) The strategy performance report doesn't refresh is the strategy's
settings are changed while the report window is open.
Make sure that the option "Recalculate the Report on eaah new order" is checked.
3) During optimization the transaction cost and slippage are not more
taken into account that's mean the the genetic optimizer will try to find silly solution that permit to earn 100.000$ with an average of 5$ for trade, that including the trasaction cost and slippage would be discarded by the optimizer.
We haven't been able to reproduce the problem. Could you please send the workspace/s and an archive with the strategy to mpashkova@tssupport.com?
4) The workspace format with the new version are not compatible so is not more possible downgrade to the previous release, please if you think to change the workspace file format, post an utility that allow to downgrade to the previous version.
There is no reverse compatibility for the new workspaces to be used on older versions. However, all your old workspaces from the previous versions can still be found in the same directory. They will have extension .old.
