Ok! I finally figured it out!. The correct code is as below. Thanks everyone for trying! Inputs: FastLength(12), SlowLength(26), SignalLength(9); Variables: FastMA(0), SlowMA(0), MACD(0), Signal(0), MACD_3(0), Signal_3(0), FastMA_3(0), SlowMA_3(0); FastMA = XAverage(Close, FastLength)...

I misspoke - I haven't figured it out. My 3 minute numbers are wrong. I can confirm that the MACD and Signal numbers (in the GPT - MACD columns below) are correct. But the Macd 3 min and Signal 3 min numbers are wrong. The correct numbers for the 3 minute are in the below (GPT MTF) section...

No worries all. I figured it out on my own using some old youtube videos. Correct code is below. To make it work you have to have a chart representing Data1 and another chart representing Data2. Then the following code works: Inputs: FastLength(12), SlowLength(26), SignalLength(9)...

Haha. Thanks. It compiled fine before but i'm just trying to figure out the multi time frame thing. If you have an extra minute again please see if it could work on your charts

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. I tried the below and again 1 minute and 3 minute plots have the same number FastMA_3 = XAverage(((c data1+ c data2)/2), FastLength); SlowMA_3 = XAverage(((c data1+ c data2)/2), SlowLength);

Your code does compile. But it's still not showing multi time frame. As shown below the MACD and Signal have the same values as the 3 minute MACD and Signal. Is there a way to apply the indicator such that it shows both the 1 and 3 minute? Thanks!

Hi Community, I'm trying to create a code that has a simple MACD on 1 minute and 3 minute timeframe simultaneously. Problem is it doesn't work. In my Multicharts I have loaded both the 1 minute and the 3 minute charts into the same Window. But for the Indicator when I go into its properties and...

ib_insync I use it for all my code with Interactive Brokers. I am also testing Multicharts connected to Interactive Brokers. Multicharts uses EasyLanguage which is easier than python. Another option to look at.

Thanks JSOP!

TWS sorry. Updated my post

Hi Community, Recently I disabled order confirmation/check margin impact window on TWS by clicking on that check box when it popped up. Now I want it back and for the life of me can't find anywhere in setting to bring it back. Does anyone know? Thanks!

I moved to Ninjatrader. It's got exactly what I need out the box :strong:

Unfortunatley the hotkeys don't work. They don't automatically transmit the correct trailing stop.

With some playing around I see why - The trail order is separate from the Buy order so they could each be filled independent of the other. Back to the drawing board... :-|

OK i'm still wresting with TWS here. I've got the hotkey working and it submits an order when pressed - but it won't auto transmit my stop loss? How does that make sense? The stop loss is part of the trade as defined in the shortcut

You are right my custom hotkeys only work on the Watchlist window, not the chart or order entry or any other windows. Thanks for helping!

Hi Community, I'm wondering whether it's possible for TWS to automatically fill in the Limit Price (instead of user having to type it in or select it). Some brokers like Questrade have this - where it defaults to the bid, the ask or the midpoint, which moves with the market, so you can just one...

Well my TWS must be broken because it doesn't work in any window. The Ctrl+H to show hotkeys does work in the chart window - but my custom hotkeys don't work anywhere

How do you use a hotkey to put in orders? I have created hotkeys in TWS - but they don't actually do anything. If I press the hotkey buttons on the keyboard nothing happens. Is there some trick to it? I just want to - for example, create a buy order with a trailing stop with a shortcut key as...

Hi Community, I am looking to trade futures minute-by-minute using mostly bracket orders and I just can't seem to do it with TWS. There are hotkeys and default bracket order settings - but I need to be able to constantly adjust the stop price and take profit price. Meta Trader 4 has something...
