Postby futurestrader019 » 04 Sep 2009

Is Time and sales available through MC? If so, how do you access it and what version of MC has this?

thanks

MultiCharts does not show Time and Sales.


for IB users, you can get it from TWS.

That's too bad that MC still does not have a simple T&S window... Seems like a simple thing to program.

:roll:

That's true, but often times redundant. Many times your data provider also has a T&S window available. I.e.: IB, eSignal, etc. I use NT/ZenFire and it has very nice T&S windows that can be color coded and size filtered. I use a free program called "PowerMenu" that allows me to put it right on top of the MC chart I am trading in and right next to the currentbar. I set the transparency so I can see the chart underneath. I use NT to trade and actually have the Depth of Market as horizontal bars right inside the NT Chart I am using to trade on - That's what would be really nice in MC.
So, there are various ways around the lack of T&S in MC that actually work out better than if it was native to MC.

I agree, there are workarounds IF your broker provides T&S. I am w/ Open ECry and they do not provide them either, so it would be nice for the charting platform to do this.

The data is there, just create a small function inside MC that supports T&S already. This has been requested many times over and MC continues to ignore it.
