High-definition charting, built-in indicators and strategies, one-click trading from chart and DOM, high-precision backtesting, brute-force and genetic optimization, automated execution and support for EasyLanguage scripts are all key tools at your disposal.

MultiCharts .NET

MultiCharts .NET combines the best features of MultiCharts with the robust potential of the .NET framework.

The main difference between MultiCharts .NET and MultiCharts regular is the ability to develop in .NET languages, such as C# and VB.NET. Any IDE can be used to create scripts, from the built-in editor to Notepad++. A very tight integration with Visual Studio makes this IDE a perfect choice.

Here are a few features in MultiCharts .NET that are not available in MultiCharts regular:

  1. Access all data from Scripts for instruments that are not even charted.
  2. Create custom toolbars.
  3. Draw objects using GDI.
  4. Access to all information in Order and Position Tracker from scripts.

Watch a short intro video to get an overview of the .NET Editor and the tight integration we created with Visual Studio. Remember, you can choose between 32 and 64-bit versions for the one that best fits your needs.

The descriptions of the features common to MC.NET and regular MultiCharts (i.e. charting, manual and auto trading, data management, etc.) can be found below.

The PowerLanguage .NET Help file with descriptions of all of functions is located in the PowerLanguage .NET Editor itself and can be downloaded here (you may need to unblock the .chm file to be able to see its content: right-click on the file, click Properties and click Unblock on the General tab, then click Apply).

The MultiCharts .NET Programming Guide describing the process of creating and applying studies in MultiCharts .NET can be found here.
