MultiCharts Project Management Timeline

I am currently using Futu Securities (US Stock code: Futu)'s Software FutuNN to trade.
https://www.futunn.com/en/
This software is popular in China, HongKong and it's developing through out in Asia, US and worldwide.

However i tried to connect Futu's software with Multicharts to trade and I don't know how to write the codes for connection.
This is frustrating for ALL my friends who have Multicharts, a large group of people, very large.

I talked to Futu, they have open codes, but i am not majoring in computer science, it is hard for me and us.
https://openapi.futunn.com/futu-api-doc/en/

Therefore, i sincerely and highly requesting, asking Multicharts to make build-in connection with Futu,
therefore we can trade Futu's software with Multicharts!

Thus this should increase the number of people using Multicharts!
Thanks!

For me, there are situations, where it is interessting to know where a minute based POC is, in addition to a tick-based VP.
Then I use the POC of a Volume Delta VP, but dont want to see the other lines of that profile, they just disturb the view of the overlaying/underlying tick VP.

However, I think it would be usefull, to be able to turn off whatever Line in the Volume Delta profile style. Even better would be, to integrate ARGB to the RGB colorsystem in generall, to set whatever is in the way, to transparent.

Every time a chart is opened an automatic entry will be done in the symbol mapping table for the symbol in the chart.

If the data feed and the broker are different providers (for example, Tradestation for the data feed and Interactive Brokers as the broker), then the automatic entry in the symbol mapping table is incorrect and also causes error messages. The wrong entry can be deleted in the symbol mapping table, but it is immediately added again when a new chart is opened. Therefore, it would be very helpful to have a function that suppresses the automatic entry in the symbol mapping table.

I really wish the two Synchronizers were built-in options like the Assign Initial Market Position to Strategy options. Currently, the two synchronizers are signals that must be put on the chart and It is important to configure timeouts properly otherwise, it may send changemarketposition orders not as expected. I would like the synchronizers to me built into the platform and activated by just clicking a radio button to use one or the other. I would like it so you don't have to configure the timeouts, but it that is required the configuration should be done in the Autotrading tab.

Here are the two options and the accompanying documentaton:
1) !From Broker To Strategy MP Synchronizer!
2) !From Strategy To Broker MP Synchronizer!

Manual Trading and Automated Trading on the Same Instrument at a Time:

Hello

It is too difficult for foreigners to receive data. It is especially difficult to receive OPRA data. This is because most brokers and datafeeding companies require a local US bank account. If it is possible to mention the name of a specific company, 'webull' or 'dxfeed' is easy to access for foreigners. (You can blur the companies I mentioned.)
I'm requesting a more diverse data feeding company. In particular, please allow me to receive option data from the OPRA market.

I want to add one more thing. People who use the 'TradingView' service can easily purchase the data they want directly from 'TradingView' without having to go through a data feeding company individually.
It would be better if multicharts allow users to purchase data more conveniently.

thank you.

More exchanges that possible make automated trade for crypto - Crypto.com Exchange

Hello MC

Today only Binance exchange we can do automated trade . Please provide more options

Example:
- crypto.com

Crypto already have APIs only necessary create MC side.

Thanks.

Just like you can with the List of trades, I would like to be able to click on the Dots in the MAE and MFE charts and then have the chart move to the trade associated with that trade.

Hello MC

Today only Binance exchange we can do automated trade . Please provide more options

Example:
- bitfinex

Bitfinex already have APIs only necessary create MC side.

Thanks.

Hello MC

Today only Binance exchange we can do automated trade . Please provide more options

GateIO

Gate have APIs only necessary create MC side.

Thanks.

Sometimes a study is "in the way" but still needed. Instead of having to open the "Format Indicators" window, it would be nice to just do this via a right-click option, in addition to "Remove Study"

Able to set different MaxBarsBack length for each data series.
For example: Data1, Data2 in one chart.
Data1=1 minute, MaxBarsBack length=10 minutes.
Data2=1Day, MaxBarsBack length=10 Days.
If I set length be 10, currently MC works with 10 Days for both data1 and data2.

FTX.US (https://docs.ftx.com/#overview) is creating a new means of clearing derivatives, without the intermediation of futures commission merchants. The proposal is currently being discussed with the CFTC. I would like to ask that Multicharts add a new FTX.US Broker Plugin so users can access FTX.US and this new opportunity.

Hi,
Several trading-related software companies have created different products that allow you to create block strategy without programming. Is it possible to have a tool that allows you to create strategies visually and in blocks in multicharts? Here are the main ones on the market

BINANCE MARGIN and AVAILABLE POSITION don't exist. It's very difficult to trade with leverage without this.

Hello, it's very difficult to trade on BINANCE, without a vision of the margin and the available position.

It would be great if you could add several money managent calculations for the signals in the Portfolio Trader.

I know there is the possibilitiy to make money management stratetegies for portfolios with powerlanguage code, but some money management strategies by default like Tradestation has would be useful.

http://help.tradestation.com/09_05/eng/tsportfolio/strategy_groups/about_money_management_strategies.htm

Being able to add a moving average to an equity curve in a performance report would help users determine the strength or weakness of a strategy and if it should be turned off. Similarly, a probability cone, based on Standard Deviations, would allow for Equity Curve Trend analysis.

Even more functional would be the ability to chart an Equity Curve, and set alerts when it moves beyond a predetermined threshold.

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 like the option to use Dark themes for all of the Multicharts Modules. Using MC all day with only having white themes is very stress full on your eyes. Please give us the option to use all dark themes across all of the Multichats Modules.

auto centre Dom without stopping for a few seconds.
Moveable columns to make things easier to look at. eg buy and sell columns nest to each other. Prce next to volume profile.
Please vote for this it will be a very handy feature for people who want to use depth of market.

Dear team,

We are anxiously waiting for the update to add additional exhange, especially with Future trading like FTX and Bybit to support data feeding and autotrading in MC. Binance is not supporting future trading. There is NO WAY for the MC users to trade with futures in MC!!!! The only way we work with algotrade is to leave MC, like Python. Please set priority to update the future data source. Thanks!

I would simply like to request that Multicharts create a Python API to add to their already existing MC.Net offering. Python is the fastest-growing language in finance. It would help MC to draw more customers from the growing Python Finance community.

Hi
I wold like to request access to a data and order processing services described bellow.

The data service is created and provided by another trading software called Sierra charts. It is provided thru their open source DTN protocol and it is called Denali data service.
- its comparable to IQ feed but costs in the region of $30 per month
- real time futures, FX and stocks data
- [10 years of tick data](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/RealTimeDataFeedsAvailableFromSierraChart.php#Included)
- 18year plus of daily historical data depending on market

https://www.dtcprotocol.org/
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DTCServer.php
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartDirectOrderRoutingService.php

Hope you consider this as this is a great alternative to IQfeed and CQG which we already have access to via Multicharts.

Not much to describe, I have workspaces with three chart windows and several instruments within each window (for calculating term structure) and pressing "reload workspace" just not reloads all instruments within the workspace.

**Issue:**
It is currently understood the MC's chart timestamp is based on "Close" of bar.

It means that the bar that is open, for example, at 15:58 and closed at 15:59, will acquire the 15:59 time.
This is hard coded and cannot be changed.

However many other platforms (i.e. Thinkorswim, TradingViews) uses "open" of bar for their timestamp.

This difference of timestamp setup will result significant chart difference, especially with larger and larger intraday time intervals (i.e. 30min, 1h, 4h, 8h). And due to significant chart difference between other platforms, the indicators/signals/strategies will result very differently.

**Feature Request:**
An option to let MC user to select to use either "Open" or "Close" of bar for chart timestamp at program level will be very beneficial. If use decided to change from "Close" to "Open", entire MC programs must be shutdown and than restarted for it to take effect.

I really find it helpfull, to have a longer volume profile position fixed to the (in my case) left of the screen, like the x-number of days/sessions settings already is. it makes it so nice to scroll through the days and see how the long term profile sits above.

But, with that setting, the starting point changes(with everey new day in real life), so maybe the intented beginning point of a special market situation, runs out of focus.

It would be great to choose this setting for the volume profile that has the "start-end" (and then current time) and have the profile allways fixed to the side of the sceen, no matter where or how I scroll on the chart.

In addition, it would be great to have the possibility, to setup a daily and a longterm profile with only one symbol on the chart. this is possible with setting up a delta chart and also select the "normal volume profile". but, with the delta chart set op profile, there are no naked poc`s. so what I am saying, it should all be more flexible and still complete with all the single possibilities.

Hi MC team,
could you add the Indicators and the Strategy example in Multicharts:
Martingale,
Anti Martingale,
Price Averaging Down
Price Averaging Up
Masaniello
Multi Masaniello
Monty Hall

Regards

I have two suggestions:
1. The Renko charts should be reconfigured so that the working time period has temporary bricks just like the expired time periods. The bricks should disappear as the market turns during the working time period. The way they are now with one bar in the current time period makes them very hard to work with for day strategies or indicators.

2. Real Time NYSE and Nasdaq data is free for non-professional traders. It should be offered as a data source for your platform The platform has an overwhelming majority of Commodity brokers. I am amazed you do not have links to TD Ameritrade or TradingView.

Hello,
The real time price on the chart froze for a second time this week in the middle of trading. It is very disturbing as I need to close all trading and close Multicharts, reopen it and load all the data and get back into trading again, and I'm afraid it will happen again and again - this needs to be fixed. The only change that happened before the price froze as in the screenshots below was I opened another chart and that was it.
I also tried Ctrl+R but nothing happened.

Issue:
Currently when updating a script name (via Script > Properties) in PL Editor, the names of the script used in MC charts are not updated. Basically when reopen the MC, an error will indicate the script that is being renamed cannot be found, and have to be re-added.

Feature Request:
Allow auto-rename of script name in MC chart, once it is updated in the PL Editor.

is it possible to create a cloud between two or 3 moving averages and an arrow up or down when the averages cross?

I speak for myself but I'm positive 99% of your customers share my viewpoint.


Since we're all traders here, I'm sure we all know that an investment constitutes as an act of devoting time, energy, and capital towards something that we expect to be worthwhile.


When we the customers decide to subscribe to Multicharts or purchase a lifetime license for $2000, we are investing our time, energy and capital in not only the Multicharts software, but also company PROMISES and POLICIES.


One such ADVERTISED POLICY is one of your main selling points, which is the UPGRADE POLICY. Taken directly from your main advertisement page, it states the following:


"Upgrade policy

All future software upgrades are free.

Watch your investment grow with free minor and major upgrades. Both new and existing customers will benefit to maximum possible extent by never having to pay for new features or functionality. As technology progresses, so will your requirements and your trading software has to keep up. We feel that our customers have enough to worry about, and we have made it one worry less — your software will always be the latest trading software available, and all upgrades are free."




Key points taken from the above ADVERTISEMENT and POLICY PROMISED by Multicharts:


1) "ALL FUTURE software upgrades are FREE."

2) "Watch your investment grow with FREE MINOR AND MAJOR UPGRADES."

3) "Customers will benefit to MAXIMUM POSSIBLE EXTENT by NEVER HAVING TO PAY FOR NEW FEATURES or FUNCTIONALITY"

4) "Your software will always be the latest trading software available, and all upgrades are FREE."




4/5 or 80% of the sentences in the above policy repeat what promise? Oh yeah. FREE UPGRADES. But do we get that? Lets take a look.



On the "Whats new" page (https://www.multicharts.com/whats-new/), it shows that on December 16th, Multicharts 14.0 Build 22995 Release 4 was announced which stated that a new Backtesting Edition is available for PURCHASE.


What's more is that going to the "Features" section, we see that the Backtesting Edition is NOT ONLY ADVERTISED AS IF ITS INCLUDED in a license along with all the other features (since they've included it in the feature list and don't state directly that it doesn't come with the full license), but it is ADVERTISED WITHOUT INFORMING YOU that it costs money AFTER A LICENSE PURCHASE as well. The only thing that it states other than how it will benefit you, if you buy Multicharts, is that it is a "different platform" and therefor ASP that is included in the BE will not work with a standard full license.



Only after digging through release notes and scrolling to the bottom of the BTE page on Multicharts Wiki, which most customers wont do, does someone realize that it has a hidden cost. This can be considered FALSE ADVERTISING (If you do not think this ridiculous promotion is false advertisement, especially given your policy, then you must admit to loop holing(calling it a "separate platform" in regard to ASP compatibility but using that specific wording to exempt it from your free upgrade policy).).


1) This goes DIRECTLY AGAINST 80% of YOUR POLICY which states that ALL FUTURE MINOR AND MAJOR UPGRADES ARE FREE.


2) This DIRECTLY EXPLOITS customers based on your threats of terminating our accounts if we open them on two separate computers (https://www.multicharts.com/net/purchase/). Again, this also goes against your policy which states "Customers will benefit to MAXIMUM POSSIBLE EXTENT by NEVER HAVING TO PAY FOR NEW FEATURES or FUNCTIONALITY". Maximum possible extent includes already developed tools by Mulicharts that fix a major flaw of the software and agreement. Maximum possible extent DOES NOT MEAN you can go against your POLICY and EXPLOIT customers by giving them a PAID SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM YOU CAUSE (Threatening to terminate our accounts if we want to backtest while trading (one account on two separate computers)).


You know we can't have an account open on two computers, because you're the ones threatening termination of our license. You know we are in need of such a fix. At the same time, you charge us extra for a feature ADVERTISED as FREE, GIVEN THE POLICY, which solves a problem that YOU cause.


This is the epitome of create a problem - offer a solution.



When we the customers invest in Multicharts, we expect Multicharts to abide by its own policy, and the promises made to us. We were promised to benefit to the maximum possible extent, which includes but not limited to NOT BEING EXPLOITED.



I do not mean to come across as rude, and I apologize if I do. I want to continue using Multicharts and watch my investment grow, which is why I am being critical. Income tax was supposed to be temporary when it was enacted in 1913 but look where we are now. If we the customers do not speak up, then the next feature is going to cost us, and then one after that, and the one after that.



I implore you to abide by your upgrade policy, for the sake of your current and future customers, as well as the future of Multicharts.



Thank you for your time.

I dont know for whom and in wich situation this would not be helpfull, but for me, using historical data from IQFeed and only and directly downloading it into MC, it would be a great help, if it would be possible, to pause the hostorical download, instead of only being able to abort it.

When doing larger downloads via the QuoteManager and at the same time I want to reload a chart I am working on, that is not possible. I quess as soon the Quotemanger has sent the max amount of requests to IQFeed, the queue is just full and wont let any other request go thru.
Maybe some sort of priorization would also be a possibility, but a pause would be better I think. Since I dont know how long historical download will take, it might still run when markethours start and if then a "quick" reload is necessary, it even more sucks, if that is not possible.

Also saving something like a snapshot of the point/status a download has advanced would be great, it hopefully would make it possible, to close QuoteManager and resume after restart.

the Output pane of PowerLanguage editor is the only way to debug the PowerLanguage,
actually this is more than 50 years old technology to debug.
Users are getting older, and their eyes have to stare at the output information.
It's really tiring. Please do some merit virtue such as provide a dark mode (or something like the editor's colors option) for the Output pane.

As presented by the problem I'm just troubleshooting live w/ Support, Multicharts should:

1) Present a list of sub-accounts available / associated w/ a main CQG account
2) Give the choise of using one sub-account or another for live trading
3) Accurately show in the UI the sub-account ID (as well as the GWAccountID) for making it easier to troubleshoot / check w/ Broker.

It would be great if it was possible, to copy the list of Instruments from the QuoteManager as Text, i.e. to make a list in excel...
So mark a collection via Mouse and CTRL C ... actually interessting that its not possible.

Straight forward, add a Checkbox to the Resolution Dropdown, because even there is every resolution there, if you want it based on Minutes, you need to open the Instrument Settings.
