Any plans for Multicharts to support Collective2?
TS and NT supports it.
Collective2
I've written an EasyLanguage interface for Collective2. It isn't the best, and wont be until you add external C++ DLL module for doing a HttpWebRequest. But it gets the job done.
The quick and dirty:
I decided the easiest thing to do would be to write a Collective2 function, that I can call from my signal. The function will then build the proper query and output to a text file the URL query. From there, wget for Windows (free, GNU) seemed like the easiest way to execute the URL query without using C++.
Signal
Call C2 Function where Buy and Sellshort commands are used.
Function
Build URL query and output to text file.
DOS
Use a batch file to check for a new text file (new signal generated), then use wget to execute the signal (URL query).
I built the function using the Signal API guidelines from Collective 2:
C2 Signal Entry API
If there is interest in this, please let me know and I'll post the code on the condition you have an existing C2 system in place and will help me test it

You can find more info on my forum, I'm still working on the code a bit before publishing it. I would post the URL here but can't. Go to my forum below and search "collective2".
