Hello Smoky!

You can use your license to log into the Beta version, but not while you’re simultaneously logged in with it in MultiCharts 14.
If you’d like to use both at the same time, we can add a temporary license to your account, please contact us at our support email to get it.

Is there any plan to integrate TS as a both a broker as well as data source? That would be awesome given the poor stability and 32bit architecture limitations within the TS platform.

Some feedback on the Beta that I've noticed while using in live trading... first is that the strategy properties don't save when you want to use as a default so you need to constantly re-enter on new charts, and I've also noticed the chart lost its connection to broker price updates from IB - I was still getting the data on the chart from TS for my algo but IB wasn't updating at all. Needed to reboot.

"Note: To test out the Simulated Trading capabilities, you can use our brand new built-in MultiCharts data source designed specifically for Simulated Trading. It provides sample data for various instruments."

So does this mean that you (multicharts) will be including back test data with 15? If that is true-- that would be GREAT... So i can use live data to trade with and use your back data to test with.. Right now the only problem i have with cqg is they only supply 30 days of history (not enough) and amp (my broker) is trying (with no luck) to get more back data from cqg.. So if you guys supply "test data" == whooo hooo ...

I've also noticed in the Beta that the Power Language Editor gets very laggy if its been open for a while and there is a need to shut it down and re-open again. Not sure if this is also the case because I don't have firm benchmarks, but it also "feels" like optimization is running slower than before... for example, what used to take 15min previously seems to require 20min or more in the Beta version - this may also need to be checked. Thank you!

On MC startup sound "Connected" is played even if you aren't actually connected. In comparison, MC 14 plays "Connecting".

+1 to this:

PS
let me know if this has to be posted in project management instead.

Another observation on the Beta... exporting the backtesting strategy performance reports seem to be incredibly slow - even when only exporting the trades list. Literally 50 x slower than exporting the equivalent full report from TS for the exact same system.
