Introducing FREE MultiCharts .NET Starter Edition

a chance to whom? The guys who trade 1 symbol? Yes they will benefit from this new version. Everyone else will not.

Impressive and strong step in the evolution of the MultiCharts products. I recognize some people are disappointed that earlier produts were discontinued; I say give the new MultiCharts .Net Starter Edition a chance.

@Stan_Multicharts,

Quick question: Does MCSE call home (e.g., to verify license) as does NinjnaTrader?

Forgive my paranoia;-)

Cheers.

It has a built-in license which is the same for everyone. To the best of my knowledge it doesn't call anywhere since there's no need.

This multicharts, programmable in C, this is a good thing. I've missed my TS2000i ever since the day I trashed it [not that I've missed Easy Language..] It was designed for use with a DTN satellite feed and I didn't want that.. but that scanner was called "RadarScreen" by TS and I missed it dearly. I started trading futs and didn't need a scanner but my stock trading spirit has come back from the dead now that I see a scanner like RadarScreen and programmability in C.. yesss!

Could you make the next version not require .net like Sierracharts is doing? Less moving parts is greater reliability and less problems.

Edit: can't seem to make it run on Linux using Wine.. is that normal?

Glad to see you back in action. We'll be improving the Scanner in MultiCharts so you can set the criteria for different symbols and see the results, right now it's more of a watchboard where you can sort through instruments that you add manually to it.

.NET is required, not sure how to get around that.

Since it's a Windows app, it should run fine on most emulators... We have many customers that use VMWare which works fine. I assume Wine should be similar.

Thanks! MCDT is still usable by people that have it - we just stopped updating it. Right now people can simply switch to MCSE at no cost and gain more functionality.

The Tradestation Radarscreen is what I'm after, sans EZLanguage.. I used TS7 at one point and it was elegant. I could copy/paste a list of symbols and it would very quickly load the historical data for each one and start sorting symbols (up to a thousand of them) according to indicators I had programmed.
 
Stan,

Honestly, setting the color of a candle body should be one simple function call.

I appreciate the free software, but working with this C# library is about as much fun as having to interact with a COM library in straight C code.

That's coming either in MC 8.7 or 9.0. You can always check our public Project Management page for a complete roadmap, and add your own items - http://www.multicharts.com/pm/.

It's probably not perfect :) But that's how they designed it. You leave your improvement feature request here - http://www.multicharts.com/pm/.
 
Quote from Rabbitone:

“You don't need to reopen workspaces manually in MultiCharts, you can have them open automatically. Moreover, each chart can be detached from its workspace and dragged to any screen (and pinned to be shown always if you like). As you flip workspaces, each chart will remember its new spot on you screen and return there when you make the workspace active again.”

I do not see how this substitutes for desktops? I already use 1 instance of MC that auto opens my workspaces. I do not see in the doc where it can be done with 2 instances?

These are the 5 TS desktops I use every day:

Desktop 11 – opens 6 workspaces automatically
Desktop 12 – opens 3 workspaces automatically
Desktop 13 – opens 7 workspaces automatically
Desktop 14 – opens 2 workspaces automatically
Desktop 15 – opens 4 workspaces automatically

And you say Multicharts can mimic this TS function when I auto select all five desktops to be opened first thing in the morning? I am sorry I just do not see it in your documentation…

The last thing your crew doesn’t get is many of us in TS would PAY for the upgrade in Multicharts to get desktops as an enhancement. It is an important feature…

:confused: :confused:

Again, it's not EXACTLY the same thing, but you can achieve pretty much same level of automation by opening 5 instances and in each instance press Ctrl+O and choose your bundle of workspaces for that instance. Unless you do this multiple times a day, you may spend an extra 20 seconds per day doing it our way :)
