MultiCharts Project Management Timeline

A lot of people really need it. It's a cheapest broker for futures trading.
They are willing to cooperate.

**This is a message from Christopher Doughty from Tradovate:**
_No, we do not support MultiCharts.
Please do us a favor and reach out to them.
Many people have requested this -- including me, as I am a MultiCharts user, too.
The more that do, hopefully they will add us as a broker._


Please add them as broker for all futures traders here, their commission is 35% lower than IB's.

Thank you in advance

Tastytrade brokers who offer customers to trade US options, equities and futures are developing API so 3rd party platforms can connect to their data and trade feed.

The api development is in progress and will be available end of the year, thought I would let you know about it.

Would be good if Multicharts can offer integration with Tastytrade broker.

I would like to request the feature to be able to change the names of the horizontal lines I added to the chart. I'm not talking about the labels but the names of the horizontal lines themselves. Right now, they are named Horizontal Lines #1, #2, #3 etc. By renaming them to my interest, when the alerts pop up for each line when prices hit, the message box can show the custom name of the horizontal lines as I would like.

This is a customer's request for MC to read symbol list from IB scanner.
The stock symbols may vary every minute, so it might be useful to add the ability to read constantly changing IB Scanner with Stocks and use them for trading.

Please add this top broker to the supported list.

Under format instruments the range randomly shows up as a date or days back. It should correctly show days.

I have a 2 position trade on the S&P emini which has a $12.50 tick value. When I use SetProfitTarget_pt set to 20 I get a different result than if I use SetProfitTarget set to 250. Both are set to PositionBasis True. SetProfitTarget_pt will close the trade when the trade = 20 ticks per position, or $250 for each position, total $500. SetProfitTarget will close the trade when the trade = $125 per position, or total $250. I Think they should operate in a similar way.

So long as the position size is greater than 1 the issue surfaces.

Volume profile substantially slowing down the workflow.

I can't use TPO + VP (increments 1 tick) because of lags and have to use same setup in Sierra Charts for this kind of work, what is frustrating.
I've recorded video to explain it better.

P. S. Also please take a look at my previous report about wrong perception of VP from TPO settings. They are made wrong and can't b used for analysis in such way.

Dear All,

When developing strategies, usually we do comparison with the previous version. We'd like to open two charts side by side, one for new version and one for the previous version. Currently, we have to select one chart and go to some place and switch to another chart and go to the same place. If we could scroll the two charts at the same time, that will facilitates the comparison too much.

So the feature could be detailed as follows.

1. select several charts and make them associated
2. scrolling in one chart will also scrolling in others
3. or maybe draw something in one chart will also have the drawing appear in other charts

Thanks.

The most inconvenient thing of MC comparing to competitors is chart moving and scaling (zooming). Charts management feels so much different in comparison to newer software., And it's not about different program languages. Make it work like in TradingView, where you moving a chart by default holding a right mouse button. Make possible to scale/zoom charts with mouse wheel. Currently chart management feels like we are in 1994. Especially when you use mouse wheel in attempt to zoom it, and when wait for minute while it scrolls somewhere to the left.

If you don't think so just make "background dragging" activation by pressing spacebar. Kitten is killed every time when MC users switching between background dragging button and default arrow.

I saw these two columns on a medved trader platform from a trader friend and I must say that it gives you the rhythm of the market.I tried to replicate them as indicators but too many calculations being native they work very well and without having to wait for the tick but using the original fields the data feed. Is it possible to create them and give way to the trader to use them in the default watch list?
thanks

Dear Multicharts team,

please make the windows in the PowerLanguage Editor detachable like the regular chart windows.

I strongly believe that every coder - especially the ones using more than one monitor - will greatly benefit from such a simple extra feature.

Hello, It would nice to be able to modify programmatically data series properties like color,width, etc...

It's hard to say what is it — a bug or a feature request. In my opinion it's a bug.

Please take a look at screenshot.

The Volume Profile option in TPO settings is useless, because you can't correctly analyze chart where 101K bar is several times smaller than 30K bar.
Resolution: it can be easily fixed by making session volume relative to all bars at chart. In this case 30K will be ~3 times smaller than 100K.\

Requesting an opportunity to scan a list of stocks and identify stocks that have a minimum ATR of say 2, daily volume of at least 1 million, price range between 11 dollars to 99 dollars and a % change of 3%.

Hi there,

Would it be possible to look into adding in an option for a ribbon to help sort and categorise all the different toolbar icons?

This is something I have seen that has been used previously
https://github.com/RibbonWinForms/RibbonWinForms

Thanks

I think it is worth adding as a datasource and broker connection cTrader platform, which has free fix api access. It will give acces to new markets and new possibilities! In NinjaTrader it is already implemented

Hello,

Could you enhance Multicharts and MCPortfolio with the ability to display the Equity of WalkForward process applied to a single Stock or a portfolio ?

That's would be a great and natural feature to add to Multicharts , as MCPortfolio propose already all the main WalkForward features , apart the display of its Equity ...


Could you also allow to export the Equity of MCPortfolio and of Multicharts , as a .txt or .csv file, ?


Best regards

Hello everyone,

I really like that MC is able to connect to TS's data feed via QuoteManager. But it would be great, if you could not only look at MC charts but route orders via MC to TS.

It is possible to execute trades through TS using TradingView. It would be great if this also worked with MC.

So, dear MC team, please expand MC's connectivity to TS's API that will allow to execute orders from MC through TS's execution systems!

Have a feature in the powerlanguage to be able to access formatting the background color of a chart based on some condition..... e.g. If H > H[1] make the background colour yellow....

I day trade SPY options. SPY has weekly options with experations three times a week. Thus it can have close to 10000 symbols extending out in time 1-2 years. Weekly options are added periodically. To keep the symbols current for weeklies, it is necessary to have quote manager update the weeklies. This entails quote manager searching for all options which is time consuming and not needed. Please add a time range for selecting which options are to be searched and down loaded to the symbol data base. Also when selecting which symbol to add in Multicharts charts, just opening the add instrument for SPY is very slow when it has to retrieve so many symbols.

When using GenerateStopLoss() during a backtest, the stop does not always trigger.

Hi, I posted this to the forum at [Your text to link here...](https://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52502&view=unread&sid=263ddbb7da77296877a86aa228528c16#unread "this link") because I filed this issue in the bug tracker a long time ago and it seems to have dropped off the database. The 3rd paragraph of the forum post explains it. There are other suggestions for the bug tracker in that forum post as well.

Thanks,
John

It would be great to show the performance graphs of each system and the summary in one additional chart to oversee see what the correlation behavior is. Differentiated by e.g. colors.

There is some research that suggests that building continuous contract data using the *Perpetual Series* method produces a more accurate time series for system research.

The following links describe this method in more detail.
