Der Vollständigkeit wegen eröffne ich hiermit einen Thread zu MultiCharts 8.8. Es beginnt mit beta 1: Download MultiCharts 8.8 MultiCharts 8.8 Beta 1 contains many of the new features that you have been waiting for, Advanced Market Scanner, MultiCharts Desktops that allows you to save MultiCharts layouts on each monitor, Dynamic Order Name that generates an order name based on script calculation. Now you have the flexibility in plotting daily data with different session templates at the same time because daily bars can be formed out of minute data. An indicator can base on values of another indicator and Limit Order Execution Assumptions is available in Portfolio Backtester. MultiCharts 8.8 Beta 1 also has an improved optimization process, improved dialog windows and broker connections from Avanza and other new brokers working through CQG. Make sure you ask our support if you have any questions. Contact Support http://www.multicharts.com/support/contact/ Wiki for Complete Information on MultiCharts http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Main_Page Report Bugs and Request Features in the Project Management System - http://www.multicharts.com/pm/ NEW FEATURES Advanced Market Scanner The majority of data providers have a limitation on the number of simultaneous real-time data subscriptions. This made scanning numerous markets almost impossible.The new version of our Scanner has two components: Pre-Scanning and Watchlist windows. You can scan more than 5000 symbols one by one with a specified frequency (every minute, 5 minutes, hour….) or just hit Rescan Now. According to your filters in Pre-Scanning instruments that satisfy the conditions will be shown in Watchlist window for updating in real-time. Learn more on our Wiki here. Scanner Style Setting We’ve added a Scanner Style setting for plotting in the Scanner window making it possible to change the style of the studies applied to the Real-Time Market Scanner. Color, alignment, plot format and number of decimals can be changed. Find instructions on our Wiki here MultiCharts Desktops MultiCharts Desktops allows you to save a particular set of workspaces and toolbars on a monitor and restore it after restart. You can now open multiple instances with individual set of workspaces and toolbars on each of them. Learn more on our Wiki here. Build Daily Bars Out Of Minute Data This feature is one of the most desired and long-awaited features which is requested by our customers in Project Management: http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28555&p=79968#p79968 http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-856 http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-79 Now it’s possible to plot daily bars created out of minute data on a chart. One can apply different sessions on different charts at the same time as those daily bars are not stored into the database. You have a tool that allows you to plot your own daily trading session on a chart. Learn how to do it on our Wiki and it’s also possible to enable it in Command Line, read how here. Hidden Data Series Do Not Affect Your Charts The implementation of this feature was technically challenging for us but finally we did it. Now hidden data series do not affect the bar space of visible data series. More on PM here. Avanza and CQG Brokers Avanza is our newly supported broker. Find detailed instruction on our Wiki . We have, also, added new brokers that are working through CQG, please take a look at the instructions on how to establish these connections here. Study On Study This is another long-awaited feature. A study based upon another study became possible. Now you can use a plot of an indicator as a numeric input of other indicators or signals. Instead of using complex scripts that combines several indicators or creating extra functions you can simply apply values of other indicators to any studies as inputs.

Die Beta 1 von MultiCharts 8.7 ist draussen: http://www.multicharts.com/traders-blog/?p=923 Ein kleiner Auszug: Ganz nette Kleinigkeiten. Ich bin allerdings mehr an der 9.0 interessiert bzw. an der 8.7 Beta 2, die dann endlich mehr Nachkommastellen beim BigPoint-Value haben wird.

Die v8.5 ist noch nicht offiziell released, da starte ich schonmal dn 9.0er Thread Am meisten freue ich mich auf MC-349. Das ist für den Forex-Handel einfach ein Muss. Wundert mich, dass dies noch längst nicht umgesetzt wurde. Und anscheinend wird sich etwas in Richtung Portfolio-Trading zu. Yes

Hier soll eine reine Umfrage stehen

Hallo, hat sich hier schon mal jemand mit der Software SierraChart beschäftigt? http://www.sierrachart.com/ Die Software wirkt schlank und schnell, die GUI und die Userführung allgemein ist stellenweise sehr harte Kost. Stabilität jedoch schwer beindruckend. Wo bei mir Ninjatrader und Multicharts hin und wieder kleben, erweist sich im Testbetrieb Sierrachart als der Käfer unter den Platformen. Läuft und läuft und läuft ... Ich dachte mir, ich nutze die Sommerzeit, um mir diese Software mal genauer anzuschauen. Erfahrungsaustausch, im Speziellen interessiert mich Automatisierung via Spreadsheet, würde mich freuen. Gruß aus dem Taunus, bs.trader

Hallo! swz168 hat hier freundlicherweise den Anstoß gegeben für einen Vergleich der Hardware mit einer vordefinierten Umgebung in MultiCharts, Jeder ist aufgerufen, diesen Test mit MultiCharts auf seinem Rechner durchzuführen. Wir erhoffen uns davon Rückschlüsse, welche Hard- und Software sich besonders günstig auf die Geschwindigkeit einer Optimierung oder eines Backtestes auswirken. Folgendes Vorgehen: MC 7 und 8: die qmd - Datei öffnen bzw. im Quotemanager importieren nun ist in den Futures unter DTB ein Symbol namens "Test" - das ist unser Testfuture vielleicht überschreibt der auch den vorhanden FDAX - lässt sich nicht vermeiden MC 6: die ASCII Datei importieren, vorher im QuoteManager eine Future-Datei erstellen (zB analog zum FDAX) Beide Versionen: anschließend die pws - Datei öffnen, im Portfoliobacktester alles lassen wie es ist, das Datum von 16.03.2012 bis 08.05.2012 stellen ggf. das Symbol von TEST auf FDAX ändern (wenn Test nicht geht) und auf Optimieren drücken. die angezeigte Optimierungszeit notieren und hier posten (ggf warten bis sich die Zahl eingepegelt hat und dann die verstrichene Zeit mit der verbleibenden Zeit addieren) die Optimierung kann nun abgebrochen werden. Auf einem typischen, einfachen Heimrechner sollte die Zeit bei um die 6-10 Minuten liegen. Die gemessene Zeit bitte hier posten mit der Angabe von MC-Version (Nummer und 32/64 Bit), Betriebssystem, und Hardwareeckdaten wie CPU, RAM, Festplatte und Besonderheiten (Overclocking? Gimmicks). Vielen Dank! Hier bitte nur die Ergebnisse posten! Fragen und Erklärungen und Diskussion bitte im dafür vorgesehenen Thread!!! Danke! Anmerkung: beim importieren der qmd macht er aus der Test-Datei den FDAX. Leider. Will man das nicht, muss man die ASCII-Werte importieren als Datenreihe in ein selbsterstelles Instrument.
