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. In order to learn more please read here.

Export Strategy Performance Report Into Open Office

The Strategy Performance Report can be now exported into Open Office. See the original request here and more details on our Wiki page.

New Keyword For Bar Number

Added a new keyword that allows place all the drawings according to the bar number:

Arw_New_bn

Arw_SetBarNumber

Arw_GetBarNumber

Text_New_bn

Text_GetBarNumber

Text_SetBarNumber

MC_TL_New_bn

TL_New_bn

TL_GetBegin_bn
