MultiCharts is paidware. What kind of strategy you have in mind? can you outline your logic in programmable detail?

maybe you can test Half Gap for higher profit probability? Half Gap http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/half-gap-7738.html 37.19:4

people just love colorful lines ;-)>

... you will lose your own trading account too, because you are basically changing your own set up, and divide your focus in something that's not your normal trading operation.

that's the fastest way to lose a friend, your own trading account, and his money...

this is a major paradigm shift, so it won't be easy... it will take a few iteration of head bashing before you can take the "rule" out of your head. let's take a step back... let's look at this illustration: you have a 5 minute chart in front of you. the time is 1200 noon. the previous bar has a closing price of 1050.00. the current bar also showing a closing price of 1050.00. one tick before 1200 noon, the price was 1049.75. one tick after 1200 noon, the price was 1050.25. What knowledge have you learned from these market information? Would your observation and analysis (ie coloring) be different if the clock was one tick faster or one tick slower?

that's not my point... I am not suggesting MC. I am saying, if TS goes multi-thread... your codes/dlls might encounter the same problem some people had when they tried to use them in MC.

if that is true... then you might have a handful converting your codes. many dlls written for TradeStation do not run well in MultiCharts... especially those doing sub-minute analysis because multi-thread can cause timing issues.

If you can turn 5k into 100k... you don't need a job.

do you know if the new TradeStation will be multi-threaded?

have you tried those codes in MultiCharts? they do sub-minute analysis.

lots of Object Oriented Programming tutorials on Youtube.

EasyLanguage going Object Oriented http://help.tradestation.com/09_00/ELObject/elobject.htm

EasyLanguage is a simple procedural language... you do A, then do B... if C is true, then do D, else do E... Simplicity has it beauties... you create the procedure... the program gets you from point A to point B, That's it. Simplicity has its challenges... most people are conceptual minded, not military procedure oriented. to convert a concept into a procedure takes work; lots of work. to convert a complex concept into a step-by-step procedure takes precision work. to convert a parallel concept into a serial procedure is daunting. to convert a fuzzy logic concept into a precise procedure is a PhD thesis. I have helped many people with their codes, the problem is not in TradeStation, or Ninja, or whatever program they are using. the problem is not in EasyLanguage, or C#, or whatever language they are using... the problem is in their head. ppl don't think through what they want to do... and start coding. ppl don't draw out a flow chart... ppl have an IF this then DO that... but left out the entire ELSE ! ppl don't test out their concept with a paintbar, or a plot, and wonder why the buy/sell triggered at the wrong places. and of course there was this one big shot who hasn't read the manual, and blame everything on the program. Life is a comedy.

I agree.......... especially the floating tower on the right corner... drives me nuts.

if you post a sample chart... and explain what the indicator does, and why you would like to have it converted, you might be able to get people interested. Otherwise Google is your best bet.

I think the thread exposed the bark from the bite.

just because you have tried it and failed, then it is impossible/couldn't be done... by anyone. Brilliant !

Quadruple Witching today....

that guy's Maestro, and he has more than one of these trading stations.

have you heard of GIGO ?

With IB accounts, you can designate any currency as your "base" currency. ie it does not have to be your "home" currency. you should designate your base currency in the product that you most often trade. e.g. if you live in Japan, and trades the ES. then you should use USD as your base currency. you can change the base currency designation anytime.

not sure if I understand what you are asking... average is simply the total divided by the number of units.
