NEW FEATURES

64-bit MultiCharts

All modules in MultiCharts were rewritten to 64-bit, so they can use all available RAM on a computer. Performance of the application is now limited only by the amount of physical memory in your computer. Limitations on bars per chart, mapping and importing ASCII files more than 4GB, number of symbols and plots in Scanner, and displaying strategy performance report with large number of trades were all lifted in the 64-bit version. More information here – http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-325, and here http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-131, and here –http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=6534.

CQG Data Feed and Broker Added

We’ve added the CQG data feed and broker. We are happy to partner with CQG and AMP Global Clearing to bring you unparalleled quality in real-time data and long historical backfill. The connection of CQG + MultiCharts is available exclusively through AMP Global Clearing, so you need to sign up for a demo there if you want to try it. You can do so here – http://www.ampclearing.com/multicharts.html

Global Hot Keys

Global Hot Keys feature allows user to define and save keyboard shortcuts for pretty much any action in MultiCharts. You can also create your own custom commands, such as custom orders or custom drawings, and define shortcuts for them. More info here – http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-734&search_queue=5

Expert Commentary

Expert Commentary lets you add comments and text to be displayed when the user clicks on a particular bar. It’s useful for adding hints, or bar-specific predictions (such as trends) based on behind-the-scenes calculations. The new keywords associated with this feature are:

AtСommentarybar (ExpertCommentary)

This reserved word returns a value of True on the bar clicked by the user. It will return a value of False for all other bars. This allows you to optimize your trading strategies, analysis techniques, and functions for speed, as it will allow PowerLanguage to skip all commentary-related calculations for all bars except for the one where the commentary is requested

Usage

AtCommentaryBar

Notes

The difference between AtCommentaryBar and CommentaryEnabled is that CommentaryEnabled returns a value of True for ALL bars when the Expert Commentary window is open, while the AtCommentaryBar returns a value of True only for the bar clicked.

Example

The following statements display a 50-bar average of the volume in the Expert Commentary window but avoid calculating this 50-bar average for every other bar of the chart:

If AtCommentaryBar Then

Commentary(“The 50-bar vol avg: “, Average(Volume, 50));

Commentary(ExpertCommentary)

This reserved word sends the expression (or list of expressions) to the Expert Commentary window for whatever bar is selected on the price chart.

Commentary(“My Expression”) ;

My Expression is the numerical, text string or true/false expression that is to be sent to the Expert Commentary window. You can send multiple expressions, commas must separate them.

Example

The following will result in the string “This is one line of commentary” being sent to the commentary window. Any additional commentary sent will be placed on the same line.

Commentary(“This is one line of commentary”) ;

Commentarycl(ExpertCommentary)

This reserved word sends the expression (or list of expressions) to the Expert Commentary window for whatever bar is selected by the Expert Commentary pointer.

Usage

CommentaryCL(“My Expression”) ;

My Expression is a single or a comma-separated list of numeric, text string, or true/false expressions that are sent to the Expert Commentary window.

Example

The following will result in the string “This is one line of commentary” being sent to the commentary window. Any additional commentary sent will be placed on the next line.

CommentaryCL(“This is one line of commentary”) ;

CommentaryEnabled(ExpertCommentary)

This reserved word returns a value of True only when the Expert Commentary window is open and Commentary has been requested. This allows you to optimize your trading strategies, analysis techniques, and functions for speed, as it allows PowerLanguage to perform commentary-related calculations only when the Expert Commentary window is open.

Usage

CommentaryEnabled

The difference between CommentaryEnabled and AtCommentaryBar is that CommentaryEnabled returns a value of True for ALL bars when the Expert Commentary window is open, while the AtCommentaryBar returns a value of True only for the bar clicked with the Expert Commentary pointer.

Example

CommentaryEnabled will return True if the Analysis Commentary Tool has been applied to the chart.

#BeginCmtry(ExpertCommentary)

The statements between this compiler directive and the reserved word #End are evaluated only when the Expert Commentary tool is used to select a bar on a chart or a cell in a grid. The reserved word #End must be used with this reserved word.

Usage

#BeginCmtry

Commentary(“The indicator value here is ” + NumtoStr(Plot1, 2));

#End;

Notes

All statements between the #BeginCmtry and #End are ignored, including calculation of MaxBarsBack, unless commentary is generated.

Example

An indicator that calculates the 10-bar momentum of the closing price needs ten bars in order to start plotting results. If commentary is added to this indicator and the commentary uses a 50-bar average of the volume, then the MaxBarsBack setting is increased to fifty. However, the 50-bar average is only used for the commentary, so there is no need to have the indicator wait fifty bars before giving results unless Commentary is requested.

To have the indicator plot after 10 bars and ignore the 50-bar requirement, the indicator can be written as follows:

Plot1( Close – Close[10], “Momentum”);

#BeginCmtry;

If Close – Close[10] > 0 Then

Commentary(“Momentum is positive, “)

Else

Commentary(“Momentum is negative, “);

If Volume > Average(Volume, 50) Then

Commentary(” and volume is greater than average.”)

Else

Commentary(” and volume is lower than average.”);

#End;

This indicator plots the momentum and the commentary states whether the momentum is positive or negative, and if the volume is over or under the 50-bar average of the volume. When the indicator is applied without using commentary, it will require only 10 bars to start calculating. When commentary is requested, the indicator is recalculated, the statements within the compiler directives are evaluated, and the new minimum number of bars required is 50. Any series functions within these reserved words are also ignored.

СheckСommentary(ExpertCommentary)

Returns True after left click on a chart with the Expert Commentary pointer on the specified bar. False is returned if the pointer has not been inserted, or if the pointer was inserted on a different bar.

Usage

CheckCommentary

Example

If you only wanted code to be evaluated for the bar where the user had inserted the Expert Commentary Tool, you could use the following syntax:

If CheckCommentary Then Begin

{Your Code Here}

End;

Access to Level 2 (DOM) data from PowerLanguage

New keywords give access to level 2 data (DOM data) from PowerLanguage. Now your strategies can reference Depth of Market values for calculations in real-time to evaluate different levels of (not applicable for backtesting as L2 data is not stored in the database).

Getting Started Wizard

Now the first time you launch MultiCharts you will see a wizard that helps you configure your data feed and create chart.

Background Chart Dragging

There is no background dragging available for charts, which means you can grab the background and move the chart around. This feature is turned on/off with a button on the toolbar called “Control”. When background dragging is enabled, chart hint windows cannot be displayed, and vice versa.

Order and Position Tracker and DOM windows dockable

Order and Position Tracker & Depth of Market windows are now dockable to main workspace. More info here – http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-67.

New Data Playback speeds

New speeds were added for Data Playback – 10,000 updates per second and 100,000 updates per second.

Gather information from a bar through mouse-click

Information gathered about a bar through a mouse click. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-394. There are new keywords that allow processing of captured information in scripts; check our Wiki in the near future for complete details.

Sound Trading Alerts – Orders, Statuses, Positions, Connections.

Sound Alerts were added to walk user through changes in order, position and connection status. The setting is global, which means it affects both manual and automated trading, and can be turned on/off from the Sound Alerts menu.

Alerts in Signals (Strategies)

There are now alerts available for signals (strategies). You can use sounds, visual or email alerts to get notified about orders and position changes. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-319.

New keyword “GetUserName”

It returns info from ‘registration name’ field, i.e. the MultiCharts license. This allows third-party developers to authorize studies to particular MC licenses and not only to UserIDs (which may change as hardware changes). More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-796. Check our Wiki for complete details – http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/GetUserName

Adding/Removing columns in Optimization Report

You can now add/remove columns in the Optimization Report. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-172.

Access to any bar from a script – new keywords

Now you can access any bar of a price series from a PowerLanguage script with new keywords that are listed below.

symbol_open
symbol_high
symbol_low
symbol_close
symbol_volume
symbol_openint
symbol_date
symbol_time
symbol_ticks
symbol_upticks
symbol_downticks
symbol_time_s

These words return the same thing as corresponsind words without the “symbol_” prefix, but

1)    Bars back are not limited by MaxBarsBack, and are limited only by the beginning of the data series

2)    Bars forward are not limited by zero, and are only limited by the end of the data series

So, you can address any bar irrelevant of which bar you are currently calculating on. Complete information will be posted in our Wiki soon.

Overfill Protection

Mechanism added to avoid situations with possible overfills with OCO group emulation. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-662.

Bar Magnifier improvement

Bar Magnifier improvement – detalization of bars was changed so that prices that were not available in a lower resolution, will not be available in a higher one (i.e. if price of 100 was not available on 1 day series, it will not be possible to fill an order at 100 on a 1 week series with bar magnifier).

Orders now don’t have to be part of OCO

Orders now don’t always have to be sent as part of an OCO group in autotrading. Previous behavior when all orders were part of OCO created problems for some users – when using partial exits (i.e. Master Strategy), when one order was filled, all others would be cancelled and re-submitted. This caused loss of place in queue, and subsequently longer fill waiting times. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-454.

MaxBarsBack – possible to change from PowerLanguage

It is now possible to change MaxBarsBack (max number of bars study will reference) directly from PowerLanguage script.

SetMaxBarsBack

Sets a numerical value indicating the Maximum Bars Back setting for the study.

All studies based on past data use a certain number of bars for their calculations. The number of bars is called Maximum number of bars a study will reference, or Maximum Bars Back

Usage:

SetMaxBarsBack(BarsBack);

Where: BarsBack – numerical expression, specifying the number of bars back

Notes:  BarsBack can’t  be a negative value.

Example:

Set a value, indicating the Maximum Bars Back setting for the study to 50.

SetMaxBarsBack(50);

Custom Fitness Optimization parameters – possible to change from PowerLanguage

If the standard set of optimization parameters does not suit you, you can create your own custom criteria for optimization. Create a custom signal using keywords in PowerLanguage Editor specifying your custom criteria.

SetCustomFitnessValue

Sets a value of the custom criterion that is to be used for optimization.

Usage:

SetCustomFitnessValue (Criterion);

Where: Criterion – an expression specifying a custom criterion value.

Notes

This function can be used only in signals

To use the custom fitness value:

open genetic algorithm properties window;

set the number of simulations by changing the inputs range;

select the Algorithm-Specified Properties tab

select the Custom Fitness Value from the list under the Standard Criteria section

Example

Set the gross profit to be a custom criterion for genetic optimization

SetCustomFitnessValue (grossprofit);

Set the formula to be a custom criterion for genetic optimization

SetCustomFitnessValue (totaltrades / (grossloss + grossprofit));

TradingServer notified about backtesting orders

TradingServer now gets notified about orders generated during backtesting when autotrading is turned on. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9715#p46220.

Drawing Tools Improvements

Drawings now have a locking feature, which prevents accidental displacement by the user. More info here –http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-63.

Fibonacci drawing tools now have extra levels that appear inactive by default.

– Fib Retr Price Lines – 18
– Fib Speed/Res Fan – 16
– Fib Trend-Based PEL – 18
– Fib Speed/Res Arcs – 22
– Fib Trend-Based TL – 16

ThreadSafe Keyword

Threadsafe keyword added, which can be used in definedllfunc & external [method]. Threadsafe declares the function imported from DLL as thread-safe.
It will increase the performance of calculation and optimization of the studies that use external DLLs. For the declared function MultiCharts will not ensure thread safety. For correct performance the function must be either completely thread-safe or must ensure its own safety.

Threadsafe (DLL Calling)

Declares the function imported from dll as thread-safe. It will increase the performance of calculation and optimization of the studies that use external dlls.

Usage

threadsafe

Notes:

It is not recommended to apply threadsafe attribute to the functions exported from elkit32.dll (for example FindAddress_).

Example:

DEFINEDLLFUNC: threadsafe, “user32.dll”, void, “MessageBeep”, int;

Will declare MessageBeep function of user32.dll as thread-safe.

Compact Mode and Extended Mode for DOM

New options for DOM window – extended mode and compact mode. Extended mode stretches DOM from top to bottom of your screen, and Compact mode shows a more compact trade panel.

Interactive Brokers CFD Support

Added support for Contract For Difference (CFD) for Interactive Brokers.

Drag & Drop workspaces

Workspace tabs can now be dragged and dropped to rearrange the sequence in which they appear.

Order and Position Tracker Improvements

Ctrl+Home moves cursor to first line with info, Ctrl+End moves it to last line with info.  Added “Select All” option to the context menu in Market Scanner and Order & Position Tracker.

Send Logs

Important support change – Send Logs feature was added for easier support. It is located in MultiCharts -> Help. Simply click this button to send us your logs when technical support requests them.

Visual improvements

Trade Control Panel, DOM and Trade Bar were made more compact. Colors and fonts were optimized for clarity and easy viewing.

OpenECry UUID interface

MultiCharts now connects to OpenECry using UUID. This means it’s now possible to use OECTrader and MultiCharts at the same time without turning on the Allow Remoting option.

Symbol Lookup added for Barchart data feed

It’s now possible to search for symbols provided by Barchart data feed instead of typing them in manually.
