New MC user, help!

Hi everybody,

I am new to MC, I've been using NT for many years, but I have the feeling MC is a superior product.

I would appreciate if anybody could tell me where I can find a tutorial video/help page that explains:
1. how to build a strategy in MC;
2. how to back test a strategy in MC;

Thanks

Hello sburtt,

Our Wiki section provides detailed up-to-date information about current MultiCharts functionality. You can reference this information as the platform help guide when using both products MultiCharts and MultiCharts .NET as they have the same functionality but are using different programming languages.

Backtesting starts as soon as you apply a signal to the chart.
Here is how to apply a signal to a chart:

Backtesting results can be viewed in Strategy performance report:

MultiCharts .NET guide that contains important and useful information not only for beginners but for experienced MC .Net users as well. This is the recommended "Getting started" for programming with MultiCharts .Net: https://www.multicharts.com/downloads/M ... e-v1.0.pdf
