It's possible to add the capability to back-test using tick or 1-min data even if the resolution of chart is bigger (eg. 5-min. 30-min) ?

"Price scale with the fixed price range. For example 10 points for ES"

Interesting idea, but remembering custom scaling settings when MC is restarted would be much more useful.

I would love to see the inputs grid in the signal settings dialog the full size of the window instead of ridiculously small. It would also be nice if the input names column would remain as wide as I put it or at least default to wide enough to read the whole input name.

Hi danilo,

To do what you are describing, you can have a signal applied to, say, a 30-min chart but referencing a 1-tick chart plotted as data 2 in the same chart window.

We used to have this feature but had to drop it because it was a cause of a great deal of misunderstanding.

e.g. Lots of times users closed MultiCharts and the program remembered the scale range. By the time the program was run next time the market had moved beyond the remembered range and all the users could see was a black screen. As a result dozens of of angry customers contacted us saying that MultiCharts was a horrible platform.

We might return this feature later - as an option.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Please do! I like to set the scale if I'm plotting something that stays in a specified range like NYSE TICK for example and also on indicators particularly oscillators that have a set range like 0 - 100.
If it was optional with a default of off then you should not get too many problems as described above.

We'll definitely consider adding this option Geoff.
