My first flat bars occured September 19th in the morning around 9am ish (I thought it was a trading halt but maybe it was this problem). That is 4 weeks ago. Again I only see it if MC aborts and a backfill is needed. If I pull up a TWS chart the range is the last 1 hours to 2.5 hours of...

Thanks jsmith, I was looking at AmiBroker when checking out MC and that page was as far as I got. I called IB support and they told me that this flat bar problem has nothing to do with the fast markets. They say it is a bug created during the last release and they are attempting to fix it for...

Today I lost TWS for some reason and the flat bars are back full force. I just spent over a year programming MC and a database program to control MC and TWS. I never had any problems during this programming work and I was restarting MC fairly often during the day. It is a new problem because...

I find this page interesting regarding IB performance. However they are a competitor are they not? http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html

My pattern has been that the flat bars tend to occur in the morning after things heat up and stop later in the afternnoon when things slow down.

Today the IB flat bar problem is not occuring for me. I had to restart MC twice. I restart it immediately so I get back within 1 minute (however I never had any 10 second bars missing either). The last one was yesterday morning where I had 5 minutes of flat bars.

The main IB tech people said it is a known issue. Sounds like it must be long standing. Under that assumption it seems the only immediate solution is to keep your charting program running and if it aborts get it back up as fast as possible to minimize the flat bars and also backup as I plan on...

Hi Tums, I think we 100% agree with each other on all points. It is an IB problem. MC is rock solid for most I suspect but I may be unusual in that I use that one command. I have reloaded MC several times. That does not fix these infrequent aborts. If you do not have an abort mid day you...

I have attributed the MC aborts to my use of the recalculate command. It only aborts when this command is issued and maybe every 100 or 200 of them will get buy then it aborts ( I think it is related to ActiveX somehow). If I was not using this command I figure MC would be running 11 hours every...

I use MultiCharts. Every so often it bombs and I quickly restart it and all is normal within about 30 to 60 seconds. However lately (the last two weeks) Interactive Brokers has been sending flat bars during backfilling if done during the trading day. I pulled up their chart and it is an IB...

Hi, I use MultiCharts which has a recalculation command to force recalculation of your studies. I trigger it for a specific study by setting a global variable from my database program. My Discressionary strategy is such that I could not use a software without this recalculation command. If I...

Does Ninja have a recalculation command to recalculate a system. I use it in MultiCharts and I trigger it by testing a global variable. It gets picked up when a tick comes in. It would be even better if the GV setting could be picked up at any time rather than wait for a tick.

I am corresponding with a sales person at Otaku Software to try and get a utility to do what I describe below in a single button click. Maybe someone out there knows of such a utility that currently exists. Below is an extract of my detailed description to the sales person. If this utility does...

Hi, Can anyone let me know if there is any DLL software out there that can do what I have in mind here. The software would be sending order information to IB (Interactive Brokers) from either MultiCharts EL code or from MS-Access VBA code via DLL calls. 1/ Send an order down to IB that...

Hi, As a follow-up to the global variables DLL with MultiCharts, I have finished my trial period and have now purchased MultiCharts. For my needs this program works well. I have managed to pass global variable data back and forth between MultiCharts and MS-Access-97 with no problems...

Hi, Good News on my earlier post. I managed to get all I need for transferring global variables anywhere within the MultiCharts program from the program itself. They have the EL code required. They also have the EL functions that are required to get csv (comma separated value) text...

Hi, I am looking for a DLL that is highly likely to work with MultiCharts. It needs to write numbers and strings to memory and get them back from anywhere in the program such as across charts and indicators or studies.. It has to read and write to csv files on disk. It needs to be 32...
