Description

I would like to ask that you consider Merging Multichart and Multicharts.Net into one package and platform where you can access all the MC languages, Powerlanguage, C#, VB, and Python API. I would also like all of the languages to be completely interoperable. This means that users could extend the power of Powerlanguage with the ability to integrate the other MC APIs (ie. Python, C#, and VB) into PowerLanguage code.

I would highly recommend asdding a python API as well.

Nowadays a lot of the customers looking for trading software are moving to other platforms - whose names im sure you have seen on these forums such as TickBlaze and QuantConnect. Both TickBlaze and QuantConnect are primarily C# based platforms just like Multicharts C# but you can use Python to write your strategies in those platforms. These C# based platforms are calling python using the CLR and PythonNET package. However this integration is built into the platform. The user does not have to do the integration to Python.

That being said , I have used those other platforms and their performance is terrible compared to Multicharts. Multicharts clearly has a better product which is blazing fast, with its great features, stable , even with tick data whreas those other platforms are full of bugs and crash with tick data. Yet people are choosing those products because of Python API.

I really think adding the Python API will be a gamechanger for Multicharts !
