Execute orders through TS Securities

Postby Chartsurfer » 19 Apr 2020

Hello everyone,

I really like that MC is able to connect to TS's data feed via QuoteManager.

Taking this into account I would like to ask the MultiCharts Team if there were any plans or considerations to expand MC's connectivity to TS's API that would allow to execute orders from MC through TS's execution systems?

It is possible to execute trades through TS using TradingView. It would be great if this also worked with MC.

Best
Peter

Hello Chartsurfer,

Thank you for your feedback.
We don’t have plans for this at the moment. You can create a feature request at MultiCharts Project Management so that other users could vote for it. If it is highly requested, our team will consider adding this feature in future versions.

I've also seen the RT Soft "Autotrading" plug-in. As fas as I understand its description "handles fully automated order routing" it's for strategy orders only, not chart trading. And looking at the current MC version it looks like it's out of date.

Does anyone in the community have real world experience with this "TS Autotrading plug-in"?

Hi again,

just in case anyone reading this would also be interested in executiong orders from MC through TS Securities:

I wrote an email to RD Soft Ltd. asking about the mentioned plug-in. Here is answer I recieved:
It works with all sources of order: strategy, manual trading etc. Plug-in is native MC plug-in, the same like built-in plug-in for IB.
It works with all MC version including all future versions. TS 9.5 is supported (TS 10 isn’t yet).
We provide 1 week trial for full functional version of plug-in.

PS: I am not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any other way connected with RD Soft Ltd. I only have an equities account with TS in addition to my futures trading account with another broker and I just find MC as a trading platform way better than TS ...

I can't vote, but I also really need execute orders from MC through TS's execution systems.

Bump. I am a regsitered user. Now that TS has commission free equities: this is a no brainer. I have seen other platforms like Overcharts support this so I know it is possible.

I have tried the plug-in but it doesn't work well. You can get a free trial to test it. Should you try it and make it work, love to hear how!

What plugin? I am hoping they will add TS as directly supported broker. TS is the ONLY commission free equities broker besides Alpaca today with API connection.

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, MultiCharts doesn’t come with an integrated plug-in for routing orders to your TS account.

The broker plugin for TS at http://www.traderssoft.com was developed by our partners.
Please note that this plug-in is not supported by MultiCharts and in case of any issues with it, we would ask you to contact them directly.

As an FYI, TDA is another. MC Support has indicated they are looking at connectivity, which would be great.

For strategy execution, you can execute on TS by writing order information records with the strategy buy and sell signals. Then in TS, poll for the order information. This can be done by tick or with a timer object. It's old school, and it has many limitations, but it can execute your stock strategy running in MC on the TS brokerage with no commissions.

I wrote a sender and receiver and did some testing last week.
