What could cause all indicators status to be set to "OFF"

Postby arjfca » 30 Oct 2014

Hello again

MC 64 with IB data server,

Once in a while, all indicators for all my charts of my desktop have their status set to off. I then need to re-enable all of them. What could cause that?

Hello Martin,

This can happen if:
1. studies are not compiled;
2. MultiCharts and PowerLanguage editor are running under different users;
3. there are not enough bars on the chart for study calculation;
4. one of the data series that is being referenced in the code is not present on the chart;
5. calculation error (ex. floating point division).

Thanks
Maybe: 4. one of the data series that is being referenced in the code is not present on the chart;

It probably happen when modifying the scale via a command line.

I did create a collection of command lines and access them using hotkey's. These hotkey's are managed outside of MC by AutoHotKey. All it does is filled the command line box with a scale string. Maybe I don't give enough time between each chart modification. I will slow down the process and see if it resolve the problem. Sometime all my charts had their indicators set to off, sometime only one. Never the same.

Hi,

I've suffered the same issue for about 6 months. I'm currently trying to create a sample workspace for MC to use to recreate the issue.

I get no error messages. All inidicators in a window will randomly turn off. Little scary, as it turns off important alert generating code. Happens about once per week to once every two weeks to me.

I have same problem . Reason is number 3 for me.
There is any console command to turn on again ?
When I´m changing for another stock still "off" even with enough bars.

I need make easier creating any script for that.

Any suggestion ?

Not sure to understand what you are looking for

To restart script, you could install the indicator on the statur line and click on the name to restart it
NB: Onlu indicator that ere not "Hidden" will appear on the status line. The hidden one will need to be restarted using the Indicator Format panel

What I need is something that is easier to turn all studies and signs that were disabled when I'm changing Instrument in the scanner. Today I have to open the properties and activate one by one all the studies and signs.

I´d like create a command that I declare the name of the signal or study and set on again.

To my knowledge, there is no code to start an indicator. You may have a chat with MC team to confirm

You could post a request for this to be available in a future update
