Multicharts User Thread

Quote from traderharley:

Hi ProfLogic,

I remembered that you tried both Multicharts and Ninja chart, and you think Multicharts is better. I don't use backtest or programing auto trading, do you think the free version MTCD is better than NT in real trading? Thanks.

My opinion is that if one only needs the standard functions of a charting platform without the custom indicators omitted from the paid version of MultiCharts, the free version should work just fine. I still believe MultiCharts is the best charting software out there for the retail trader.

I'm not happy at all with the NT 7.0 upgrade.
 
I tried Multicharts a few years back and could not get the Japanese Yen Globex futures (6J or JPY @ IB)) to work because MC could not handle the 6 decimal places needed.

I stuck with QuoteTracker. Has MC ever fixed this problem?

I don't know about JPY but 6J works in eSignal.
6 decimal places are no problem with them either.

Prof:

Assume you referring to an eSignal feed to MC. If this is correct would you tell me what the Settings are - Price Scale, Min. Movement, and Big Point Value.

I use MC and an IB feed and don't trade the Yen, but tried to set it up when I initially got MC, but could not make it work. Did not pursue it as it was posted as a problem in the forum. Seeing Whimsy's post I again tried to set it up under MC 6 and was not able to do so. I just looked in the TS Support (MC) discussion forum and the issue seems unresolved, but the last post was a year or two back.

It works fine. We've added 1 to million price scale a long time ago. Please see a screenshot attached. You should go to QuoteManager->Edit Symbol->Settings->Price Scale and select 1/1000000

It works. I found the 1/1000000, it was buried down in the fractions, rather than up with the other 1/xxxx items.

Thanks,

Presently using Quotetracker & IQFeed, for the last 8+ years...Both been supurb! (Trading equities only.)

Testing out the free version of Multicharts, using IQFeed's 7-day free trial...(monthly charge for MC is roughly $20-25 more that of QT; for that one gets more than 10+ days of intraday charts, the one item missing in QT).

I run 50+ symbols, 4 monitors with charts...Need more time to learn Multicharts, for sure...But first impression is very positive!

Hard to replace QT though... But I have until the end of the year, since I just paid AMTD for the use of QT for another year...huh...11 months ;)

Maybe THE replacement for QT?!
