Great thing about Quandl Data feed, but how can we get the data in MC like: https://www.quandl.com/data/CHRIS/EUREX_FDAX1
I have my Quandl APIkey filled in the QuoteManager/DataSources/Quandl but MC can not find something as well no stock symbols.
Thanks for advise.

One needs to find Quandl instruments in their website, namely the ticker and exchange. Then specify the ticker and the exchange in the Lookup menu to search it in MultiCharts.

Add the required security type in Quandl data feed settings to make it available in the Lookup menu.
More information is here.

Big issue with compile function in PL.

after I compiled a study with no errors in PL, MC 14 B5 don't find it compiled.

worse now, when we load a chart with a study uncompiled (we made change on it), we can't load it and compile it as before from the chart, we have to remove the study, open PL and compile it... but MC 14 B5 is now unsynchronized with PL editor ! i close MC load it again, no change my study is always uncompiled for MC14 B5.

the only workaround i found is to repair MC 14 B5 and after MC 14 is synchronized with compiled stydies in PL. big problem.

‌NO, nothing is solved !

I made a third laptop I7 3.5 ghz in the lan with MC 14 beta5 but with windows 7 and all is running good with no crazy popup who kill MC14 B5.


My last test in Clevo laptop I9 9900K 4.8 ghz is to disable all enchanced technologies with Intel Extrem Tuning Utility and now all work fine but at slowest speed (stock with no boost !)

it's not Your fault WIN10 don't manage correcly the last Intel technology ! then i go back to MC12 for two reasons:

1: i don't buy the fastest laptop in the word to use it at stock speed with no new Intel technology ! ONLY MC14 hang ! All others softwares run easy and Faster !

2: you don't give me a way to supress the power control in MC14, customers have to choose if they want or not this power control (who hang MC on some fast PC) !

if you want to win a speed race you don't buy the slowest car, even you are a good driver...

Hello syswizard,
MultiCharts 14 Release is expected soon, approximately in the begging of Autumn. We contribute very much efforts in the quality of the future release, and would like to release it when all planned is ready.

Hello Smoky,

Please specify what external software you were loading on laptop 2.
When the issue is reproduced, please send us the report as described below. It is important to collect it at the moment when the issue is reproduced (the application error window is hanging), before MultiCharts is restarted, so that we could investigate it.
Here is how to do that:
Please send us logs and dumps using Feedback application. You can access it through Windows Start Menu -> MultiCharts folder -> Feedback. In the Feedback window please select:
Attach a screenshot;
Attach Log files…;
Attach minidumps…;
Upload collected data to help desk; and click Send.
If the Feedback is not accessible, please make dumps using MC Dumper:
https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... lect_Dumps

Please, also answer these questions:
Do the other applications work correctly with that external software?
Is the issue reproduced if you open MultiCharts with no workspaces along with the other software?
What actions must be taken in MultiCharts to have the issue reproduced?

All other softwares are working well and fast, not any issue , only MC 14 hang.

MC 14 hang when i load any big other software who ask Intel Turbo boost to start, any other small application start without need a turbo boost.

no error when load MC without workspace. sorry i go back to MC12 who work very well and fast at 4.8 ghz and have no issue with turbo boost.

MC14 boring me with all popup saying that MC not reponding LoL ! with 10 softwares running at 4.8 ghz and MC 12 all running very fast and With cpu charge under 30 ! I NEVER use more cpu charge for all applications.

You can trust me with this laptop i'm not afraid about power need by Multicharts and i laugh when i see your yellow popup saying that MC is not responding ...(MC 12 with same workspace same datas use only 10 % cpu charge ! )

some user use regedit to disable all Microsoft tools using control power API who is buggy with I9.

gpw797: Portfolio Trader is very fragile and crashes easily, not only with Renko but also with any high tick volume-based bars. It also has serious differences in backtest vs. forward testing which regular MC does not have.

I have reported these issues to MC, but their response implied that Portfolio Trader will not be receiving significant attention in the near future. A shame, because it offers many features not available elsewhere.

Portfolio trader could be a great thing but with close to zero documentation (same crappy stuff from beta 4 years ago) I am not surprised people aren't using it. I will shift more of of my stuff over to NT

Hello Smoky,

Fail-safe alerts are designed to warn the user about the possible CPU overload. The automatic system diagnostics is available since MultiCharts 14, that is why the alerts stopped appearing after you went back to MultiCharts 12.
You can disable these alerts in File -> Preferences -> Trading tab -> Fail-safe and trading system warnings.
I'm afraid we will not be able to analyze your issue on our end unless we have your logs and dumps. It's also impossible to compare your CPU performance without your .wsp files.

Hello Tammy,

sorry I don't share anything, i already think that MC speak to much to yours servers.

but you will be happy to know that my bigger workspace is 100 Mo size, it use many instruments, multi datas charts, (more than 30 instruments) and some studies have more than 3000 EL code Lines !

all run realy good in tick/tick without any slow speed, i never, never made any complain about MC speed, you will be suprise how fast EL can be LoL with some extra DLLs ...

then in my case i don't need to use uc power tools to know that MC run fast, i keep my UC power for my EL codes .... and disable all fake warning.

maybe i will have more power, and add 16 Go of hi-speed Dram and mount another raid0 SSD nvme...

In MC 12 I could login offline on my laptop whilst running my live system.
IN MC 14 I am always asked to kill the other instance before opening. Can this be avoided.

Hello jl12,

Since MultiCharts 14 we implement new authorization system, and running a single license on two computers will no longer be supported. We are going to provide special licenses for backtesting at a discounted price.

Really !? :? :shock: Do you actually mean that we will have to pay for an extra license to keep using MC in offline mode ? What kind of discount are you talking about ?

In my case, I use MC on my laptop when I travel and MC on my desktop when I'm at my office.
Will this continue to be possible on the same license?
In my case, I don't run both at once. (I know some do which was the other posters original question).
