I've tested Multicharts, and so far I think it's a very good platform.
The only thing which is mising, and it's very important to backtesting is the look-inside bar, otherwise the backtesting results will not be correct.
AS soon as you have that feature implemented i'll be your customer.
Is there any estimate on when this will happen?
thanks,
Pedro
Look inside bar
Inside Bar Order Generation
Hi Kate,
I was wondering how hard it would be to allow a order to be generated based on a tick resolution. I realize other computations may be tough on intrabar data, but looking at a tick count number and sending an order based on that tick count of the bar doesn't seem to difficult to me. The tick count is based on the chart time. I personally run a 34 tick chart among others. Maybe I am off base here, but for those of us who trade currencies we need fast response on signals since the currencies move fast. In the past I used CurrentAsk and CurrentBid to get a realtime price for a order generation. I was hoping the autotrading would support at least these functions to allow a order to be sent before the close of the bar. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
