Question for MultiChart Users
- Thread starter mikehabit
- Start date
I took a look at the website and could see that they use custom DLL to transmit orders.

You can use the same product for MultiCharts, because we do support EL DLL extension kit.
Since the order execution is controlled by functions you can do whatever you want. I suggested the same idea above.
They stopped selling and supporting that software. I went through all the similar softwares, every one was flawed to the point that I could not use it. The dll from NinjaTrader will not work with MC scripts on volume bars at all and it will work with end of bar but not intrabar on volume bars with tradestation. Ninja only supports Tradestation they say. That is why I am posting on your forums for a release date for your script enhancement that will allow trading from the indicator script. Do you have an eta for that? I pretty much HATE manual trading when all I am doing is following a rule set that a 286 could follow.. I have been in the computer struggle since 1974 and vowed that some day the machines would work for me, not me working for the machines
c'mon, why don't you guys just build something that will work seamlessly so that i and many others will purchase multicharts? i know it's a big project, but it has to be done.
besides, traderassistant's TADLLClient doesn't work very well even with tradestation. their TATCClient does work well though.

Making things work together is much harder in the microsoft environment because microsoft does not follow it's own rules when they write their stuff. It makes it much harder for developers. I tried several of the "dll to IB" add ons for Tradestation or Multicharts, they did not work the same with the two chart packages and none worked well enough for what I was doing, and it was not complicated.
That is why the "total solution from one provider" way is the only way that is going to work well. So far Multicharts is a better solution than Tradestation. I am waiting for the script enhancement whereby I can trade directly from the indicator script in realtime from Multicharts. If it is feature rich like dynaorder and it's clone hyperorder were then it is fine, well done, fantastic, bravo, kudos time.. if not it might still be usable..

Currently we are working on full-feature auto-trading that will support stop/market/limit orders, conversion of limit order to market order if necessary and so on. I will ask developers to re-consider the feature you need.
