Grab the beta version.

Ok... thank you!!!! I am excited. Installed it and this is exactly what I wanted... this is all I wanted... just simplicity... now I have a little more faith in the company and think it will work out with Multicharts!!!

Hopefully the watchlists they are adding will be here soon.

Ok. Been working on setting up multicharts with the same indicators I'm used to.

Need some help finding a few things.

Anyone know where I could get any of the following?

1. Daily Pivots (I tried using the floor trader Pivots study but it didn't calculate properly)
2. Weekly Pivots
3. Intraday Fib Levels
4. 15 minute opening range marked on chart.

Right click on a chart
Select "Insert Study"
Pick something

Wow... thanks!!

I was just trying to see if anyone has an archive of indicators that may include these since none that I mentioned are in the program already.

Here's a start for you. The MC knowledge base has quite a few as well.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I did a bunch of google searches and couldn't find good resources like this.... which is why I asked.

Thanks. I think the issue with the auto pivot calcs is that the close is not always the "official" close. I set up my charts so the close on the YM is 4:15 but I think e-signal sends out the "official" closing print several minutes later.

That screws up the calculations.

I may just have to manually enter the official closing price each morning... which is what I do now anyways.

It's been painful trying to get the charting the way I wanted but think MultiCharts has a lot of potential. It may be dangerous banking on potential but it looks like thats what I'm doing.

So you basically can't trade the news with MC since it takes so long to load a new symbol.

Flipflopper,

enjoy.

Upgraded my pc this weekend to get better performance for my switch to Multicharts.

Had a core 2 duo 6750 with 2 gig ram. Now I have core 2 quad 6600 with 4 gig of ram and all I have to say is I'm bummed Monday is a holiday.

This new system runs Multicharts like its Notebook. I am unbelievably happy with this upgrade.

Thanks to everyone for their help pointing me in the right direction. I almost gave up on MC but the new Beta version brought me back!! Hopefully things just get better and better from here on out!!
