feature_request_tiny.png 19:20  Feature request MC-2908 - Create Text On Chart From Code with TRANSPARENT Back Ground
dean (dean) : Issue created
Currently if one creates Text on a Chart from the Text Drawing Object (selected from Drawing Tools) there is an 'Effect' checkbox to make the Back Ground TRANSPARENT.

However if one creates a chart Text object via PowerLanguage there is no ALTERNATIVE to having a solid colour back ground. There is no way of having JUST text without a back ground text box.

The mandatory coloured text box is always in the foreground. This is *annoying* because it invariably covers bars and other chart information.

IS it possible to add a function to make Text created from code to have a TRANSPARENT back ground? Eg, Text_SetBGColor(TextID, TRANSPARENT); or Text_SetBGColorOFF(TextID);

cheers

feature_request_tiny.png 18:21  Feature request MC-2907 - Create Benchmark so we can compare performance between MC versions or computer hardware
FuManChou (Chou Heu) : Issue created
As a computer hardware enthusiast, I would like the capability of a built in benchmark into MultiChart, so that I can compare different MultiChart version or computer hardware so that I know how much my new hardware improved performance.

There are several synthetic benchmarks created or used specifically to benchmark the performance of a system. This is used to compare hardware such as but not limited to CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD, and others.

This will benefit in several ways:
1. MC Dev/QA Team can use this as a tool to ensure that every version that is released is performant.
2. MC users can run the same benchmark quickly
3. MC users can share results.
4. MC users can then compare computer hardware between each other
5. MC users can then use this knowledge to purchase new hardware when required.
6. Perhaps multiple benchmarks that is quick and a benchmark that is more accurate and takes longer.

feature_request_tiny.png 17:20  Feature request MC-2905 - Online training videos/ Youtube !
Stephen Miller (Stephen Miller) : Issue created
Hello

For a company in the world of trading and backtesting software, you need more training videos and online content help. A wiki page/forum is not enough. You really should have a whole educational department designed to release content. On Youtube, the videos are 7 years old !!!! That's insane, have a look at Tradestation YouTube for example. I don't even know why this wouldn't be a priority to teach and drive sales.

You really should have a department designed to make videos and live streams on common topics on tradings and how to use the software/ best practices.

I hope I am not the only one who thinks this would be a good idea. Improve the whole MC experience.

Regards

Stephen Miller (Stephen Miller) : Issue created

We all know TradingView has won the battle of best charting/plotting/ analysis of instruments and ease of use. Can we just bite the bullet and incorporate Tradingview into MC? It will make it a winning combination of charting and strategy/backtesting development. Would be good to not have to pay for TV in addition to MC. I am sure I am not the only one which would want the TV charting here...

A nice feature no one else has would be - to keep a shaddow (un-effective) trading thread that would be the equivalent of Forward Testing ... in parallel with running a Live Trading Portfolio setup. Eg., a signal / strategy input could be "shaddow" signals / performance of existing "shaddow" / past PNL performance both at symbol but also at portfolio level.

andb (andb) : Issue created
Under portfolio real time auto trading, order and position tracker - would be great to be able to right click a ticker that has a position open and:

1) get an option to show its specific pnl detail. The report already has the performance broken against individual symbols, so exposing the performance data on each individual symbol on a right click option, would be a great enhancement.

2) get an option to show a chart with that symbols and the position taken on the past data:
- if it's in live trading, all the live positions already executed
- if its forward testing, all the theoretical past positions that this symbol had

thx

feature_request_tiny.png 16:23  Feature request MC-2898 - Portfolio Trader: Assign Initial Market Position to Strategy = Show dialog window only if broker different from chart position
andb (andb) : Issue created
On NET (but applies to both):
Switching a Portfolio Trader into Automate Order Execution while setting up Initial Market Position = always ask will trigger a confirmation dialog for every symbol on the chart - this is not feasible if you've got 200 symbols under your portfolio.
Setting Initial Market Position to Strategy = show dialog window only if market position on chart is different from broker, should show the dialog window only for those symbols where the (virtual) chart (as there is no chart under Portfolio Trader) position is different from broker (Paper trader in this case).

Well, this doesn't happen - instead, all symbols start from Flat.

This is very, very simple to reproduce (just make sure you have 500 - 2000 symbols under a Portfolio - high numbers might break the feature).

RolyT (RolyT) : Issue created
Hi There - in addition to TradeStation as a data source it would be incredibly useful to have them as a broker option as well. I use TradeStation extensively but their platform is very unstable and slow, and the 32bit architecture is a real limitation - MC is way better. I would purchase another 2 lifetime MC licenses if they were a broker option. Thank you!

At this time, when data on a chart is obtained from a data source other than the broker, it may need to be adjusted manually, but this requires individual changes one at a time.

BD. (BD.) : Issue created
Can you add an extension for PL for VS Code that will recognize reserved words and compile a code from VS?

I see people complaining about visual appearance and while I know it's not your priority, MC users spend a lot of time in PL Editor and it would be really nice to get a nice environment to work in. Besides from quick research, it's not even that hard to do if you already have the required files.

Again, unless there is something I don't know about, it's not that hard to do and for only N amount of time, you'll get the most popular IDE which is highly customizable and convenient. This is also not a high-maintenance project, it won't bring any bugs that you have to deal with.

sscarpon (sscarpon) : Issue created
There are some cases when, while using AA auto-trading mode, there could be a misalignment between real broker position and the position of the strategy applied on a chart and that could happen due to different reasons.

Considering the above, it is known there are 3 different kind of positions that may differs from each other at any time while using AA (Chart position, Auto Trading engine position and Broker position). In Order & Position Tracker, Strategy and Broker position are available to be tracked,but there is no way to be able to see Chart position in the same way and the other 2 positions. **Will you be able to create a third column reporting the Chart position like the other two**? That would be really useful for all of us in order to be able to easily check any kind of misalignment from a single screen, because otherwise it would be impossible to spot a misalignment if using AA (and I think a lot of people uses AA auto-trading because that's the easiest way to trade more than 1 strategy on the same underlying.

FidelisCapital (Fidelis) : Issue created
I am writing this because I love MC. You have been very good to me. I love your customer service and I want to see your company flourish. The Power Language editor should have a special plug in for ChatGPT. Microsoft currently integrated ChatGPT into the Microsoft 360 platform with the Copilot plugin. I think you should do the same thing. Integrating chat GPT into the power language editor would put MC head and shoulders ahead of any other platform. ChatGPT is making programming languages obsolete quickly. You could market yourself as the first platform to integrate AI and open your sales up to Non-Programmers along with Programmers. MC was started to allow Non programmer types to use easy language in an open source environment. You should continue to be on the cutting edge and integrate AI in to your Power language Editor allowing the need for only natural language pseudocode to program a strategy. This would get rid of the barrier of needing to learn coding syntax, structure or philosophy. Please consider passing this on to your programming team

bug_report_tiny.png 15:19  Bug report MC-2883 - Binance Spot Setting doesnt calculate correct my position account. Impossible to use auto trade to close position
strelow (robsonstrelow) : Issue created
Using last sofware version Build 25218

I Opened this Ticket to tracking when will comes the solutions . Already informed since june 2023 ( almost 6 months)

Basic problem :

When open a position "Spot Setting" is considering 2 X size of instrument

When close a position "Spot Setting" is considering I am in a short position of instrument and I am realy flat in the position


Only disabled editing "Binance Spot Setting" will not sufficent to fix it !


Using MC Portfolio trader or in a chat the position size is not calculate correct even some MC suggentions like:



To avoid miscalculations while we’re working on the improvement, make sure you follow these steps when auto trading with Binance:

Create or open workspaces and charts required for your setup
Set up your Binance broker profile on the Trade Bar (right-click -> Edit). At the moment these settings are applied to all the chart/strategies.
Enable auto trading

Some other recommendations:

If you need to add a new chart, add it and select Binance in the strategy properties, without opening the settings. Then enable auto trading for it.
Avoid sending manual orders on auto trading charts.
If you opened Binance broker profile settings, while auto trading with Binance was enabled on any chart, - disable auto trading, check position info, edit it if necessary, then enable auto trading again.

jccgold (jccgold) : Issue created

Hi. So i`m bringing the question of crypto exchanges compatibility with MultiCharts. In classical equities change is slow, IB is king for decades. In crypto things change much quicker.
There is the CCXT universal crypto library API which facilitates bot making https://docs.ccxt.com/#/
At this moment Multicharts is not compatible with major crypto exchanges like Bybit, MEXC and gate.io which are the ones with the most crypto coins and others. FTX went bust and if the same happens to binance there wont be one major crypto exchange among the compatible ones with Multicharts.
So im asking if MultiCharts couldnt use the CCXT universal library to add all those crypto exchanges to Multicharts compatibility list

Hi,

I would like to request this feature.

We can look at the equity line in the performance report while clicking on one of the rows in the spreadsheet in the optimization report.

It seems this can be done at TS but can't be done in MC.

This is crucial so we can compare right away the equity line without double click the row in the Optimization spreadsheet to apply the inputs to a chart and then check the Equity Line and full performance report via View->Strategy Performance Report..

This is not practical because it has dozens of rows.

feature_request_tiny.png 13:13  Feature request MC-2879 - Improve the compatibility and universality of Multicharts for the global futuers market.
binhsir (binhsir) : Issue created
1. support back-test of negative futures prices.
It is well known about back-adjusted continue futures contracts by difference: there is have a small disadvantage price may be negative in earlier historical data. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is particularly evident in Chinese futures market, such as iron ore futures(DCE.i). The reason is that the trading time is usually not continuous for six hours, and the main hot contract is often Jannuary,May,September, when rollover happen, there is a huge gap. I am well aware that it is a good thing to limit the back-test of negative prices, but in China's case, This has become a huge problem because we can't test in a very long historical data.
I know that there are some strategic building platforms that support the back-test of negative prices.In fact, for the most part, the signal or formula in strategy code based on price differentials, such as close>SMA, close above upper BB, ATR coress above level. And profit calculation also is based on difference of entryprice and exitprice. Therefore, in most cases, negative prices do not affect the results of backtesting.Therefore, it is strongly recommended that in this case, the MC can give a warning, but it is up to the user to decide whether to trust the backtest results or not.Instead of ignoring directly the historical data of negative prices.

2.Remove the restriction that the session length must be less than 24 hours
In China's futures market, last session is very special.For example SHFE.rb is 21:00-23:00 Fri,9:00-11:30 Mon, 13:30-15:00 Mon. INE.sc is 21:00 Fri-2:30 Sat, 9:00-11:30 Mon, 13:30-15:00 Mon. Due to the limitation of MC, the session days in a week must be split into six, which results in the trading time of the last two sections being significantly different from that of the first four.At the same time, the native functions such as HighS and LowS is can not be used correctly.
It is strongly recommended that MC change the restriction here to a warning and leave it to the user to decide whether to adopt it or not.

3.Support the Portfolio back-test of global markets based on exchanges time data.
Usually we like to use the historical data of the exchange time directly.However, it is impossible to test portfolio containing US, Europe and China futures symbol in the PT at the same time. And users in Asia tend to develop strategies on computers in Asia and then may use VPS in the United States for live trading.Therefore, it is not a good way to use the option of "local time" to test portfolio.
Two ways are suggested to solve this problem:
1.Add an option to use Universal Standard Time.
2.The backtest is conducted according to the exchange time, and then MC is aligned in a unified time zone to return the performance test report of the whole portfolio.
The second method is better for the user's experience, and of course increases the difficulty of MC development.

4.Support multiple MC instance installation on the same PC.
Many trading platforms and strategy development software support multiple instances.Many Chinese users have both the Chinese version and the international version of MC.Using a virtual machine(or install different 32/64bit version) is not convenient and also affects performance.

hi,
As is known to all, MC only supports the real-time display of 10 levels limit order in the DOM. That's not full depth data, no support MBO data, and don't record history market dapth data for back-testing order flow strategy. of course, MC can't support Market Depth Historical Graph(Sierra Chart),Whatever it is called as heatmap(Bookmap,EdgeProX),DOM surface(Quantower) and so on.
Does MC have any plans to support these advanced order flow charts, support building, back-testest and auto trading order flow strategies in the near future? This will give MC's customers an even greater edge.

feature_request_tiny.png 12:53  Feature request MC-2877 - Add Skilling CFD broker
JoshM (Jura) : Issue created
Skilling is a CFD broker with over 1200 instruments that cover forex, shares, ETFs, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. They offer 63 cryptocurrency symbols, which is much more than other CFD brokers. In addition they have account protection up to 1 million euro's, backed by Lloyd’s of London. This broker is licensed and regulated by several authorities and offer trading in small increments too.

I think they are a great addition to the MultiCharts platform, and they would broaden the type of CFD assets we can trade through MultiCharts.

MultiCharts can implement this connection through the freely available and well-documented cTrader API, which also automatically unlocks several other cTrader-based brokers (such as Pepperstone and IC Markets). This should give MultiCharts a good return on time investment, with one connection adding multiple brokers in one go.

Thanks for your consideration.

feature_request_tiny.png 18:39  Feature request MC-2875 - Add 'Instrument' parameter to 'non-analytical' drawing objects
MC_Brad (MC_Brad) : Issue created
Current Issue: non-analytical drawings are anchored to a chart with time and price coordinates only; when the instrument/date series is changed, the drawing remains on the chart where it was drawn for a different instrument. Here is the verbiage from the Darwing Tools wiki - 'Note: If the data series or resolution is changed the drawing tools will be displayed on the chart with the same time and price coordinates.'

Background: In my personal usage, and I think many other MC users, I set up multiple charts with multiple timeframes with the intention to see various different instruments on those charts.

Proposed Feature Request: I would love for non-analytic drawings to be associated not only with date/price information, but also the instrument. (This is actually standard behavior in TradeStation and every other charting service I've used in the past.) For example, a non-analytical drawing (trendline,e.g.) placed on a Daily chart of BLK would not display on that chart if the instrument was changed to LRCX.
