I'd like to start a Q/A regarding the Portfolio Trader.
Q:
While having multiple strategies trading the same symbol, how do we sync these strategies up securely? Or are we forced to use the Assume Position on Chart setting while in positions?
Q:
Has there ever been any talk about MC having the option to save our strategy positions? This seems like the ideal option for turning off and on strategies which are in a current position.
Q:
Is there any plans for the Forward Performance tab to calculate each strategy separately?
More to come...

Re: Portfolio Trader Q/A
You can use the Assume Position options and/or the new Portfolio Money Management Keywords.While having multiple strategies trading the same symbol, how do we sync these strategies up securely? Or are we forced to use the Assume Position on Chart setting while in positions?

This is not something that is in our to-do list.Is there any plans for the Forward Performance tab to calculate each strategy separately?

Portfolio trader does not support IOG and BarMagnifier for signals. IOG is supported for the money management signal only.
Re: Portfolio Trader Q/A
Henry,
I trade with several strategies on each symbol. These positions are commonly held for several days. If I want to restart the platform or reboot the machine, I'll need to disconnect these strategies. I do this every day.
Having made that point, what would be the best option in using the Portfolio Trader. In MC I see no other way besides using the Show the Assign Initial Market Position at Broker dialogue option. This allows me to allocate the positions correctly. However, for some reason, we don't have this feature in the Portfolio Trader.
My thoughts on saving previous strategy positions seem like a good idea. On start-up, a prompt which shows the strategy and broker positions for all strategies would pop-up and request the OKAY to engage strategies according to their last saved position. Is this something you think the developers would want to hear? (for both platforms) It seems like an attractive selling point for MC..

Re: Portfolio Trader Q/A
Are there plans to make IOG available in the Portfolio Trader? By now this question has been at least asked four times (in the current topic, here, here, and here), and the Portfolio Trading feature has only just been released.Portfolio trader does not support IOG and BarMagnifier for signals. IOG is supported for the money management signal only.
This would suggest there is a demand/need for this feature amongst multiple MC users, especially considering there are also users (myself included) that already know the answer so didn't explicitly asked.

This is something we are considering to add in one of the future versions of MultiCharts.In MC I see no other way besides using the Show the Assign Initial Market Position at Broker dialogue option.

Re: Portfolio Trader Q/A
We understand the importance and demand of this functionality and we are considering adding it in the future. We cannot provide any ETA for it, as this is not a trivial functionality. It requires development of the new complex algorithms for synchronous multi data stream processing in backtesting and realtime on a portfolio level.Are there plans to make IOG available in the Portfolio Trader?
