MultiCharts 8.5 and Rithmic

Postby Elong » 22 May 2013

Hello,
Is anyone encountering issues while trading live with Rithmic? It appears that my live account when synced to the broker is not regularly generating the same trade signals as an exact duplicate workspace that is only receiving data from the broker. Both workspaces are using the Rithmic data feed to calculate the signals real time. The strange part is that sometimes the signals match up and other times they do not. When a live account signal is generated it always matches up with the other workspace, but many times a trade signal is generated on the other workspace that does not duplicate a live trade signal. I have never encountered this problem before. This is my first time using Rithmic with MultiCharts. Thank you in advance.

Hello Elong,

There is no way one can set up trading on 1 chart and forwardtesting or backtesting on another chart expecting the same results on both. It is possible to make them closer or even identical at the beginning, though it will be not that simple, but real execution on broker end and emulation of orders execution on chart locally in MC will hardly be 100% identical. I would recommend you reading the following 2 articles for better understanding of this behavior and learning how you can trace conditions and order generation:
