MultiCharts Project Management Timeline

The OpenAI Codex is an AI system that translates natural language to code. I think you should integrate Open AI Codex into the Multicharts Platform. This would allow MC users to type strategies in Natural Language and the Open AI Codex would translate it into MC.Net code. Please find the OpenAI Codex webpage below.

Dear MultiCharts Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a loyal user of your platform, and I have been greatly satisfied with the features and flexibility it provides. Your commitment to excellence and perpetual growth has not gone unnoticed, so I felt it was the right platform to share a feature request that could significantly enhance the experience for users like myself.

I suggest including a **new broker profile**, specifically **for the WOO Network**, within your platform's existing suite of broker integrations.

As I'm sure you know, WOO Network is a rapidly growing digital asset platform specialising in zero-fee trading. It's a platform gaining significant traction in the crypto community due to its vast array of supported assets, attractive fee structure, and proven record of security and reliability. Having a broker profile for WOO Network on MultiCharts would provide the following benefits:

1. **Expanded Reach and Versatility**: WOO Network will allow traders to expand their trading reach to include an impressive array of digital assets. This will give users more options and greater versatility in their trading strategies.
2. **Reduced Costs**: WOO Network's zero-fee structure is attractive to many traders. Integration with this platform could significantly reduce trading costs for MultiCharts users, thereby making the platform even more competitive and attractive.
3. **Increased User Base**: With the growing popularity of WOO Network, its integration could attract a whole new user base to MultiCharts, especially among traders who prioritize low-cost crypto trading (fees on the platform can be reduced to zero through leveraging the WOO staking program).
4. **Stay Competitive**: In the ever-evolving digital trading landscape, platforms like MultiCharts must stay ahead by integrating with innovative and emerging platforms like WOO Network.

While I understand that incorporating a new broker profile involves considerable development resources, I firmly believe that this investment will yield significant returns in terms of user satisfaction, user base growth, and the overall competitiveness of MultiCharts.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal. I am excited about the possibility of trading via WOO Network on MultiCharts, and I believe many others would be too.

Best Regards,
Andrew

A tool/feature that can test a strategy across a basket of instruments and timeframes, similar to portfolio trader but without the link to a portfolio or portfolio management.
Provides the ability to independently analyse the strategies performance on each instrument and timeframes within the basket.
Allows users to search and select instruments and timeframes that a strategy may respond well too.

Example:
Automate the backtesting and optimisation of variables a, b, and c, in strategy X on the following markets ES, NQ, CL, GC, W, S and timeframes 10m, 30m, 60m, 240m and 1440m. View results and sort key metrics (Net profit, Profit factor, % profitable, Sharpe ratio etc)

Whether it is possible to provide group account management feature for MC and PT, allowing one strategy to orders for multiple different broker accounts (Whether it's the same person or multiple people). At present, to implement this function in MC, we need to open the chart repeatedly, which will take up too much memory resources of VPS. Similarly, multiple strategy or PT instances need to be opened in PT, It not only takes up memory resources, but also appears cumbersome. It is somewhat similar to a master account initiating signal delegation, and other slave accounts following the order at the same time.

Hello,

the xy bars back go more back after a while on live trading causing memory ram consummation.
could you cancel in the living chart the bars/day after exceeding the parameter setting

Hi,

when you open the PowerLanguage.NET Editor it compiles all open strategies. If you are in the middle of something or have the same strategy applied or even running in automatedTrading it will either fail with a popup that the code couldn't be compiled or it breaks the last working state of the code.

Hence it would be great if one could opt out if it should compile on startup or not.

Thanks!

If it's possible to select a start date in the "strategy order monitor" other than the start of the equity line.

For example the first date of the month or what else date like the "Order and position tracker" Trades summary tab

Enable the export even if we have openoffice or libreoffice or any other office suite

This is chart plotting basis Glen Neely specification for his Neowave Analysis.

It is actually incredibly simple, especially if intrabar analysis is allowed.

The chart will look like a standard line chart.

The chart will plot 2 points for each time interval selected, and plot them in order of occurrence.

So, for a plot using DAILY data, we will have 2 data points. The HIGH and the LOW. They will be plotted in order of occurrence.

If we plot using HOURLY data, it will plot the HIGH and LOW that occurred within in hour.

That's it.

In 99.9% of cases, if intrabar analysis is allowed, it will know whether the high or low occurred first.

The MC developers should be able to code this up in < an hour.

Hi,

I'm trying to screen stocks with screeners that I developed but in general it just seems the quote manager and screener does not work for stock data.

At first, I tried using the quote manager connected online but unfortunately when you look at the log in Quote Manager it keeps on downloading data (refreshing) that is already available in the data sources so the whole screening process grinds down to a halt.

Secondly, I opted to disconnect MC, work offline and use the ASCII mapping. I downloaded the data into ASCII files that I mapped into the quote manager, this still does not work - the quote manager no returns "Not enough data" in the screener or just returns empty lines.

The general setup for the screener is from 7 April 2023 for 1300 bars back per instrument, that would be around 5 years of data. The screen is over a set of around 5313 nano to mid-cap stocks, this data as a whole is less than 1GB (OHLCV CSV format data) - the machine has 16GB of RAM (47% used with the screener running) with 8 processing cores running at 2.6GHz (25% used with the screener running). Looking at the MC process in task manager it really does not look like it's even trying to load this data, the resource usage remains at around 1.6GB of RAM with little to no processor usage, so in general it just looks like the scanner is not working.

I checked the data in the ASCII files and there are more than enough data for these stocks, some going back as far as 1980. Some of the stocks I suspect could have less data than the 1300 bars, would this cause an issue? I would think the scanner would just run over it/ignore it.

Regarding the ASCII mappings, the directory contains a total of 8265 files mapped into the Quote Manager with a total size of around 1.3GB - I do not load all these files, some of them are large and mega cap stocks that I leave out of the screen.

I'll try to attach the stock list, workspace, indicators used with screenshots of what's happening.

Any ideas on how to correct this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Ettienne

I understand that implementing support for all of Interactive Brokers' [algo order types](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/ordertypes.php) would be a colossal task for Multicharts. However, there is one Interactive Brokers order type that is SUPER simple to implement, and would be a huge benefit for EVERY trade: [Adaptive Algo](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/orders/adaptive-algo.php).


"This algo can be used with a limit or market order, and is designed to achieve better than average cost efficiency over basic limit and market orders by attempting to trade market and aggressive limit orders between the spread. You can specify how urgently you want the order to fill using the "priority/urgency" selector in the algo window."


For all trading NOT using Multicharts, we use Adaptive Algo by default, as it results in better fill prices OVER 75% OF THE TIME. Not using Adaptive Algo for IB orders is literally leaving money on the table.


Adaptive Algo is supported for ALL order types that MC supports: market, limit, stop, and stop limit orders, and it's just an on/off switch. It just tells IB to do it's best on fill price. In fact the only parameter you can optionally even set for Adaptive Algo is "Adaptive Order Urgency" which can be Urgent, Normal, or Patient.


There could not be an easier IB order type for MC to implement, and not using it is **choosing** to NOT get the best fill prices possible. The User Guide is [here](https://www.ibkrguides.com/tws/usersguidebook/algos/adaptive.htm).


PLEASE MULTICHARTS, SHOW SOME LOVE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT USE INTERACTIVE BROKERS!! Your devs could implement this over lunch, and I'll be happy to buy the pizza.

Until now, we can protect our studies with a password of 10 characters in the PowerLanguage editor,

If we enter a longer password, **only the 10 first characters will be entered .**

Computer are more and more powerful. **A 10 characters password is not as strong as it used to be 10 years ago.**

Would it be possible to enter a password of 30 or more characters to protect our signals, indicators, functions ?

Hi,

when charting continous (break on session unchecked) (cumulative delta aks/bid, so from ticks, not minutes and wanting to do that from a to long history, then the chart stops updating at some point. The same happens if the history is shorter but too much indicator calculation is done.
When loading a chart with a lot of indicator calculation, then the main chart also hangs for a bit, but handles it and continous plotting correctly when the calculations are done, but a cumulative chart stays hanging, not reveiving further updates.

Is that fixable?

Thx!

Hi,
I dont think the cumulative delta behaves correct.

when plotting a cumulative delta minutes, from volume, updn ticks the RT bars are plotted correct, as minute bars, no excessiv up down while creating.
when plotting the same but from ticks, the RT bars show every tick and end up with a different values compared to the calculation that is done for bars out the DB.

Hi,

no matter the setting I`ve tried, I looked at three "Vol.Z" and none of them get updated on the Chart.
It Seems that this is only a issue on MC14, according to ABCTG(Chris) it works on MC12.

Hi,

I'd like to request the ability to create indicators where MC has the ability to calculate and plot basis a bar that the user selects.
And where that can be changed simply by dragging the starting point to a new bar.
A perfect application of this would be creating a VWAP line, but instead of starting at a set time each day, it can be started from any bar we choose.
The indicator has been developed in Pinescript for Tradingview.com and works well.
This would be a nice next step in MC development.
I am surprised it wasn't actually developed many years ago, as MC is supposed to be a PREMIUM product, right?

1. Using the new Binance.US broker profile in MC 14 R24673: Attempting to trade visually off a daily chart produces constant errors in the Position Tracker Logs of this nature:
Binance.US Spot. Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request., Response: {"code":-1021,"msg":"Timestamp for this request was 1000ms ahead of the server's time."}

2. Trading Binance.US off the DOM works correctly. Trading on Oanda and Interactive Brokers using MC or Fidelity using Active Trader Pro on the same pc works correctly without errors.

3. Syncing my pc with a time server every day does not solve the problem.

4. When displaying a realtime daily chart of a Binance.US crypto pair, the last bar shows a date that is in the future for price activity that happened today.

There are some key efficiency metrics missing from WFM. Without them the WFM robustness testing is lacking. Specifically:

- Ret/drawdown efficiency;
- Drawdown efficiency;
- Profit factor efficiency;
- Annual % return efficiency;

These functions cannot be made as a custom fitness criteria given there does not appear to bey any available keywords to dynamically track the duration of IS and OOS elements.

As it stands, 3rd party software like StrategyQuantX is needed to do WFM in a meaningful way.

on MC R6 updated my CSV files after the CFTC update today and when I opened my Workspace, the new data usually shows.
But not today. So I closed the workspace, opened Mapping in QM and closed it again with the message "you have x files mapped".
The new data still didnt show.
Then I deleted the mappings, closed QM etc. remapped.... and weirdly enough, mapping works but still only shows the old data. Double checked the csv, all data there, but wont show on chart.

Not reladet: After that weird odysee, I updated to R8, but the problem is still the same.

Hello

Is it possible to add a option to have % change on the steps within the optimizable inputs section of optimisation. We all know when it comes to changing variable lengths say Moving average periods as a easy example we can enter a start and end range and step numbers. However, this is a bad way to do it really because a change of 1 for a lower number is not equal to a change of 1 for a larger number. % wise. It would probably be better to have a option to enter a start and end number and then the % change of each step and have it auto calculate the values and required number of steps..

Wouldn't think this would be a hard upgrade and if you review you will surely agree it makes more sense . Should smooth out 3D charts etc.

cheers

Symbol Mapping a Continuous Futures Chart with Front Month broker contracts in the broker section of symbol mapping is what I have been doing. I would like an option to automatically connect the new front month contract in the broker section of Symbol Mapping to the chart continuous futures chart so we do not have to keep redoing the symbol mapping to the new front month contract manually every time the front month contract expires.

Hello

It would be good if you could reach out to IG broker and add them as one of your data providers. They are very big in the UK and offer CFD and spread betting accounts as well as share accounts. I think they are about to team up with Tradingview for charting . But obviously being able to link the algo/automation here with IG would be good.

Hello

Others have wanted the Sharpe Ratio added to the drop-down menu in the optimisation process. I know it can be done with customfitvalue but it should be an option in the drop-down software. Also, the Sortino Ratio should be added as well as other useful risk-adjusted ratios. The annualised value is what most I think would want as a return for comparison across other timeframes/strategies.

cheers

The default Monte Carlo method appears to be "shuffle" or replace the order. But a better method for me is the randomized Monte Carlo in which the end net profit can be different. It's good to run this method and then work out the geometric mean of all the returns / give you an idea of best-case and worst-case scenarios. So a trade value can be used multiple times or you can set a limit for this and then the order and trades are randomised.

It would also be good to generate bar chart diagrams in the distribution panel. For example, express net profit or drawdown in bins and plot as normal distribution/gaussian. I prefer bar chart plots vs your line plot. Also, can you add % drawdown as an option in the distribution panel, not just drawdown values? I think % would be more useful.

In summary

- Add a randomised Monte Carlo option
- Allow the distribution panel to plot bar plot style with bins for normal distribution/ gaussian plots etc
- Add % drawdown option alongside drawdown value. For comparing strategies against each other in Monte Carlo a % drawdown and % profit are better.

In ASCII mapping the redifine(i.e. setting a field from downticks to openinterest) should only account for one file, the one that is opened when redifining.
But, after redifining the first file, those settings also are set for further files.
Or, first file nothing was redifined, second file downticks to openinterest, suddenly the first file also has those settings.

Only if files from different folders are used, the redefine can be set differently, but also this setting accounts for all files within that second folder.

Is it intendet, that for individuall redefinition of fields, the files for every setting need to be in seperate folders?

Hi, can you please add some more CFD brokers in the list of supported brokers. For example would be really great to connect following two CFD brokers via Multicharts as they are supported by TradingView too:

1) DARWINEX: https://www.darwinex.com/eu/
2) 8eighthcap:: https://www.eightcap.com/en/
3) FXview:: https://fxview.com/

They can be implemented the same way as Multicharts + Oanda interface. However, Oanda does not allow trading via Multicharts for EU clients.

That would be really great help for lot of retail traders like me.

The Data Window in Charts can display all the PlotXXX() info line item for each indicator:

https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Data_Window

However, sometimes we don't want "every" Indicators' PlotXXX() to be displayed in Data Window, since:

(1) Some PlotXXX() are supposedly only to be better viewed/examined in chart
(2) Some PlotXXX() are supposedly only to be better viewed/examined in Data Window
(3) Sometimes we do not want the entire Indicator's info to NOT displayed in Data Window, since the indicator info is better displayed on Chart.

So its is recommended to have the "optional" parameter under PlotXXX() to indicate whether such line item is displayed in Data Window or not, for example:

Current: Plot1(close, "CurrentBarClose", GREEN);
Proposed: Plot1(close, "CurrentBarClose", GREEN, 0);

- The final "0" is a numeric input, which is optional.
- By default, the final parameter is set to 1 (i.e. display such line item in Data Window).
- If purposely set to "0", than such line item will not be displayed in Data Window.

as for now it is not possible to use prior days daily eod data(price, volume, openinterest) without
- reloading the chart
- or have an external data download and use ie. ELCollections.
because there is no way of getting it onto the chart (without reload).

Since that kind of data is only available at different (later than change of day) times, it would be great to have a possibility to call upon that data whenever it is available, at least after
- a reload in QuoteManager without reloading the chart
- or when the data comes available via ASCII mapping so ELCollection is not needed
so it can be used in a running strategy without reloading the chart.

There are times that we forgot to turn on/off "real-time history matching" when going into backtest or autotrading in signal study, either in MC Chart or PT.

Maybe we can have something like:

GetAppInfo(RealTimeHistoryMatching) = 0 or 1

or

RealTimeHistoryMatching = 0 or 1

I think it will be a great, value-add feature to allow user to select (i.e. a checkbox) to link also the date range of different data series (data1 / data2):

Feature: (1) on the same chart


Feature: (2) across different charts
- similar to how Portfolio Trader works, but available in Charts so we can see the indicators/signals


Maybe this can be implemented by a checkbox as well, when selecting the link color:

Currently the `MaxDataStream` property throws an Exception if its accessed in the `Create` method. This prevents creating functions for each data stream using `new Function(this, DataStreamNumber`)

Please insert an option directly from a chart window that export in a .csv format file all data value showing.
thanks

Despite  your platform profile  showes that MC allows to trade spreads https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Supported_security_types ,
but in fact it isn't true. Traders can only work with Futures Calendar Spreads and only in Paper Trading mode (forward testing and backtesting).  Despite e.g. Interactive brokers allows to work with calendar,intermarket and intercommodity spreads, and with stock arbitrage pairs also, and provides  their  synthetic instruments quotes - but Multicharts platform even with IB conection doesn't allow this option. Moreover via Interactive Brokers TWS traders is allowed to place LMT, LMT+MKT and REL+MKT orders for such types of derivatives wich is super important for some sort of intraday strategies and  for getting desirable Entry/Exit prices for these types of synthetic instruments.  Adding the posibilty to build, backtest and trade in algo mode Futures Spreads and Arbitrage Pairs (at least for IB) with using mentioned sorts of LMT orders would sugnificantly expanded range of trading oportuniries (especialy for the algo traders) and would attracted a lot of new clients for Multicharts platform because I don't know a lot of similar platforms which allows to work (especialy in algo mode) with these instruments. Thank you for the support this issue.

Hi Teams,

Share Point(SP Native API) system is a futures trading system used by many people in Hong Kong. When will support this broker?

Thanks so much!

API Doc:
[https://spsystem.info/download/API/R875 ... I_8754.pdf](https://spsystem.info/download/API/R8754/SPNativeAPI_8754.pdf "")

What is SP Native API?:
http://www.sharppoint.com.hk/algo0-api

As you can see the system will only execute the trade on the close

YET the same code will place an arrow where the code tells it.

The Blue and Red arrows the system - the Pink arrows are a text tool placed by the same code.

This means that SOMETHING IS WRONG

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = true]

var:intrabarpersist dnband2(0),intrabarpersist upband2(0);


dnband2= {the lowest lower band "outside lowest"}
upband2= {the highest high band "outside highest"}

if c<=dnband2 and c[1]>=dnband2 then begin sell short next bar market;

// code above will only sell on close of the bar no matter how you code it.

//yet code below will put arrow where instructed by the code above

value1=Arw_New_s(Date, Time_s,dnband2, true); //plots the sell arrow at the sell stop price
arw_setsize(value1,0);
arw_setstyle(value1,3);
arw_setcolor(value1,pink);
end;

if c>=upband2 and c[1]<=upband2 then begin buy next bar market;

//code above will on buy on close of bar no matter how you code it.

//yet code below will put arrow where instructed by the code above

value1=Arw_New_s(Date, Time_s,upband2, false); //plots the sell arrow at the sell stop price
arw_setsize(value1,0);
arw_setstyle(value1,3);
arw_setcolor(value1,pink);

Please stop telling us it works - look into it

All I want is to buy where I tell it and sell where I tell it - why is that impossible?

Currently if I want to change the date range for multiple data series on the same chart using commandLine (i.e. testing to see if particular trade happened in history is working okay, or if a Multi-TimeFrame indicator is suitable to be added).

I have to insert multiple times the command, i.e.:

.csy dnum=1, name=DOGEUSDT, from=02/06/2021, to=02/22/2021
.csy dnum=2, name=DOGEUSDT, from=02/06/2021, to=02/22/2021

Since I am using 5m, 15m, 1hr, 1day on each chart, and I have 30 charts open, it will be extremely painful to do such inserts (many many times) per chart.

Can we make the commandline be able to take multiple data series change in 1 line? i.e.:

.csy dnum=1, name=DOGEUSDT, from=02/06/2021, to=02/22/2021, dnum=2, name=DOGEUSDT, from=02/06/2021, to=02/22/2021

That will be super efficient (a huge time saver)! Thank you!
