As far as I know, originally open interest was provided by the exchanges on the daily basis. Thus MultiCharts data base has been designed in such a way that only the structure of the daily bars allows for saving open interest. Thus the answer to your question is no.

As I have explained on many occasions before: IB pacing violation is not related to MC or any other program. If you do more than 60 requests within 10 minutes IB will generate a pacing violation and you will not be able to get the data. So IB allows us to download data for 60 requests every 10...

I bet you have thousands of bars on the chart where you are testing the system! Otherwise your script would be inefficient… Anyway 150,000 simulations can be completed over the night:)

Tim, Could you give me additional details? “candle ident script” is not enough…

That's right, but I'm not sure this comment is relevant.

We are completing new auto-trading interface. It will support stops/limits. The next version (3.1) will have feedback. You will be able to get account size, margin and actual market position right from PL script.

IB does provide history for last 6 months. It is enough for many traders. I agree that the data quality and speed of loading is not comparable to TS, but you can use eSignal or IQfeed and trade via IB at the same time! MultiCharts allows you to send trades from eSignal charts to IB ones.

Since the upcoming MultiCharts release will have stop and limits, you will be able to add stoploss/profit target in MultiCharts strategy and it will maintain two orders for you. If one is filled the other one will re removed. Is this what you need?

Mike, Thank you for the information - it really helps. According to TWS docs they have 4 parameters http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/webhelp/Interoperability/extended.htm string m_faGroup The advisor group to which the trade will be allocated. Use an empty string if not applicable...

Jahajee and TIKITRADER, Thank you. Your comments greatly motivate us to do our work better, because we know that customers like you are grateful and it is a pleasure to serve.

Mike, I apologize for the delay. I agree that our support team’s advise wasn’t practical. It seems they simply didn’t understand needs of financial adviser and decided that you want to trade a few accounts. As far as I know MultiCharts can't work with FAA. However if you say that TWS API...

Yes. It will be plotted right. BigPointValue affects strategy performance report and strategy calulcation only. We want to release it in MultiCharts 3.1

It is wrong understanding. MultiCharts plots decimal values properly. Yes MulitCharts doesn’t support fractional prices, but it will be available soon.

If "buy the top five stocks based on a ranking of RSI" is your entry/exit condition then it is not supported, because we need to compare all RSI values for all symbols/each bar to close/initiate a position. However if your strategy has some basic rules and RSI criterion is required to...

Yes. it is quite simple. All you need is to insert two data streams, set them hidden and insert an indicator that has the following statements. Plot1(Openof data1- Open of data2); Plot2(High of data1- High of data2); Plot3(Low of data1- Low of data2); Plot4(Close of data1- Close of data2)...

MultiCharts can't do it yet, but we know how important this feature is and will implement it this year.

I was a little bit skeptical about OpenTick, but it seems it is a good value for money. Please see a recent discussion here: http://forum.tssupport.com/viewtopic.php?t=4807

The program converts EL to C++ which is the fastest language. It allows us to archive 20-50% advantage in calculation in majority of test cases. It is a rumor :) It is obvious that we care about our reputation and we are not interested in users scripts. So we help people using remote desktop...

As you could see in my previous post I confirmed that we have some issues with ASCII mapping of large number of symbols. However it doesn't mean that the program doesn't work. As I already said majority of users use integrated data feeds like eSignal, IQFeed or IB. These datafeeds allow you to...

P.S. Regarding sclalabilty: MultiCharts 3.0 uses all available cores for indicator calculation, backtesting and optimization. Moreover it is highly optimized and works faster(optimization mode) that TS8.3 even on a single thread. As a result it is 8 times faster than TS8.2 on Quad-Core PC...
