Do the "signals" work? (Tom DeMark TD Setup)

Postby traderwep » 02 Jun 2006

i have imported a strategy into multicharts and it compiled properly. it is listed under studies and i have added it to my chart but it does not show up on the chart anywhere.

do the "signals" part of multicharts work? if so, how do i get it to show up on a chart. thanks

There is no support for strategies in public versions of MultiCharts yet.

If you're interested whether it will work in later releases, could you please attach the strategy in question to a forum post or email it to me? I could check it out using an internal version.
