Zenfire Local Sim - MultiCharts64 8.5 (Build 6778)

Postby onedigit » 07 Mar 2013

Has anyone else noticed the Zenfire local sim doesn’t seem to trade realistically in 64bit build 6778. In other words it doesn’t put you in the queue but put’s you at the end of the queue.

This description is how it’s intended to behave but appears broken in 6778 in my opinion.

“The simulator has many features to make results close to real life – sequential ordering remembers your place in queue so fills are realistic. Partial fills happen once you reach the price, and if price moves away, the order is only partially filled.”

Hello onedigit,

I believe this has been discussed in our Live Chat and in e-mail conversation as well. There seems to be some misunderstanding here. If you place an order in the DOM window, it is filled (or starts to be filled) when the price in the OPPOSITE column touches the order price. Your orders are executed immediately after the corresponding price (ask for buy orders and bid for sell orders) reaches the order price.

As for the description of Local Sim functionality in What's new, let me explain it in details:
The simulator has many features to make results close to real life – sequential ordering remembers your place in queue so fills are realistic.


Sequential ordering means that when you place an order, MultiCharts remembers the to tal volume of the orders by other traders in DOM at this particular moment. And you order won't be filled until previously submitted orders by other traders are filled.
Partial fills happen once you reach the price, and if price moves away, the order is only partially filled.
This sentence refers to partial fills and means that if ask/bid price touches your order's price, but then "jumps" back, your order will be only partially filled untill ask/bid price reaches the order's price again.
