Multi-instrument spreading in MultiCharts.Net?

Postby mokomo » 05 Jun 2013

Hi,
I am seriously considering MultiCharts.Net over a different trading platform, having decided to abandon my current platform. However a key use I will have will be to be able to create strategies involving 2 or 3 instruments, or better still, many more instruments (particularly futures).
I can't easily find any information regarding whether this is straightforward or impossible?
Can anyone advise?

thanks

Hello mokomo,

With unmanaged orders you can trade on multiple symbols through different broker plugins directly from one script. For more infotmation please to MultiCharts .NET FAQ #12

"With unmanaged orders you can trade on multiple symbols through different broker plugins directly from one script."

1) So I could also trade multiple symbols through the same broker plugin, or must they be routed to different broker connections? (probably a dumb question, but just checking)

2) Can the multi-symbol strategies be backtested in the same way as a single symbol strategy can be?

thanks Henry.

That is possible to trade multiple symbols through the same broekr plugin.

Unmanaged orders cannot be backtested.
