Introducing FREE MultiCharts .NET Starter Edition

Quote from gmst:

Good points. Imo, aim of this promotion is to motivate ninja users to try MC and to target people who trade just 1/2 products and don't need to scan.

Regarding stunning reveiws. It is very hard to get a reasonable review for any product imo. There are various reasons for it:

1) Most of the customers who have bought a product will always be careful in criticizing the product - since in a way they are criticizing their own decisions since they bought the product and who wants to be proven wrong (who wants to experience cognitive dissonance).

2) Most of the customers in this business are amateurs, people who are trying to become profitable. For this set of people, it is hard to really understand what a super-good product can do for them. E.g. someone who has never used a dom, might find it hard to understand the specifics of a good dom.

3) For most people, it takes time to really understand the limitations of a product. Only when you start coding hard and complex things, do you start discovering limiations of easylanguage etc.

4) Most of these software vendors (MC, Ninja, Amibroker etc.) are sponsors on most of trading forums. So, to expect forum owners to allow uninterrupted criticism is to expect too much.

5) Till last year, MC was enough for all my needs. But now I have outgrown MC and I am having to create a lot of infrastructure for my own use.

So, all-in-all I would say - MC is a good basic product for beginner traders - it allows them to avoid getting stuck into data management issues, it already has most of the basics built-in. So, it allows beginners to start creating strategies very quickly. However, as a trader becomes an advanced trader, he is forced to go down the route of writing either add-ons or creating alternative infrastructure to service his needs.

Well stated gmst. There is nothing in the above quote that I do not agree with. Especially point 4. I'm sure there are many legitimate reviews that are deleted from most "trading" (talking noob retail here - which ET is) forums, not because they are untrue, but because the vendors find them rather "unpalatable".

MultiCharts .NET Starter Edition has Point and Figure charts and connects to IB. It also has a 2 symbol limit, which works well for small cap investors.

This is my first time trying out this MC platform. Looks interesting.

However, I keep getting this error message "Symbol limit has been reached. Multicharts .Net Starter Edition is limited to 2 symbols at a time. To work with new symbols first delete one or all of your existing symbols, then add new ones"

I'm totally COOL with that since I'm only testing out the platform.

However, I looking at my MCSE64 and I do NOT see ANY symbols. I'm more than happy to delete whatever symbols there are so I can add my 2 symbols. Where is the list of existing symbols?

thanks!
 
Q's to OP

How does someone with no programming skills use Multicharts' for systematic trading and backtesting capabilities ? Do you have some pre-programmed formula's that you can build on, adding pre programmed filters and indicators ?

Does the free version come with data for international stockmarkets and indices ?

No answers? I just download MC SE. If it works, then I will buy the full blown version. How come I can't add any symbols? I can't find a database or place to delete existing symbols.

Please advise.

You are quite right :) but it has free quotes, charts and a place to talk to other people without paying for professional Bloomberg. Again, helping out the little guy.

What would really help the little guy would is a lifetime license purchase with a monthly or quarterly payment plan spread over twelve months.
 
If I want to create synthetic index and chart it in an OHLC manner using MC SE and index has 4 components, will it work given the 2 ticker limitation. Thanks.


ex ibm index=(goog+aapl+fb+CSCO*3)/4

Very much agree with you on this. They would get a good surge of new subscribers by offering the option of paying for a lifetime license in 3-4 installments(even if it meant paying an extra $100-$150 for the installment plan option.

Yep, if you had the "free" edition installed, they now direct you to purchase a license, not allowing you to use the "free" edition with 2 symbols anymore.

They lied. Imagine my surprise...a trading vendor with no scruples.
