MultiCharts cuts TransAct

Recommended Posts

FYI...

 

 

MultiCharts discontinuing support for TransAct

 

Quote from Andrew Kirillov:

http://www.tssupport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6404

 

 

TransAct and its white-label products will no longer be supported by our company. We apologize for the possible inconveniences this decision might result in for our customers. However, we do not believe it possible to continue co-operation with TransAct. There are three major reasons that have forced us to discontinue supporting the datafeed from this company.

 

1. We are tired of proving to Bob Winslow that they have bugs. Every time a problem with their data has been reported to Mr. Winslow, we have been told that we do not provide sufficient insight as to the cause of those bugs. Rudeness and the “couldn’t-care-less” approach has been the norm in their attitude towards us.

 

2. We do not believe that TransAct’s data will be reliable any time soon. Bob Winslow has explained this by the fact that they are not in the charting business which we “must” understand.

 

3. Every time there is a dispute, Bob threatens to ban MultiCharts from accessing their server, thus making it impossible for our customers to work.

 

We contacted James Zeidel, Mr. Winslow’s superior, who expressed his full support of Bob’s actions.

 

Under the circumstances, we cannot afford to continue co-operation with TransAct. Please accept our sincere apologies.

Well that sucks for me, do you know when they will cut the feed off. I heard that people were having issues with the feed but I thought that all was good now.

I know that lately allot of platforms worked on getting the Transact feed to work with their software, did they waist their time. Look at Market Delta they put allot of effort to get Trans Act feed, they cannot be that stupid.

Oh well,

 

Cheers guys and all the best this week trading,

The irony of this made me smile. The first two criticisms could certainly have been levelled at Multicharts in the early days, less so now perhaps. Whilst the majority of the guys and gals there a superb there is the odd person that can still be somewhat defensive and deny issues that clearly need attention. I'm not saying that MC is a bad product, just that it would be better and taken a lot less time to get where it is if certain people there accepted demonstrable issues that need attention.

 

Still, I digress. Sorry for you transact guys.

This shouldn't suck for you. You should be happy that this data feed is no longer supported. I can't imagine making good trades on incorrect data.

 

Go for IQ feed or trade forex :cool:

The only problem with that is is IQ charges a monthly fee, plus the feed plus there is MultiCharts pricing. It almost makes Tradestation subscription affordable at 275 for platform and ES.

If anyone has a cheap feed for futures to Multicharts let me know. I like Infinity as a broker and prefer MC to Sierra because Ive written software I like for tradestation which I converted to MC.

thanks but i'll probably try oec demo with multicharts for a month or so which hopefully will be long enough to get my tradestation/multichart indicators i wrote myself coded for sierra by someone. then i'll just be paying 26/mo for sierra charting.

 

 

 

Hi Guys,

 

When i made my comment about the TransAct feed it was out if disappointment because I was very comfortable with the feed, and did not have to go out and pay extra for it.

 

What I am going to do is switch over to Interactive Brokers that's all, their feed will be just fine with Multi Charts.

 

I have been using MC for a year, and before that Sierra charts for about four years with TransAct feed, and can say I never had problems with either of them. I went to MC because of some easylanguage indicators I had otherwise

 

I would of never left Sierra.

Actually, I just might get Sierra (because I miss their charts) on my other computer with TransAct feed, and IB on my other so I can have two feeds.

Cheers,

email, do you know anyone who can redo my ts /mc easy lang coded indicators to sierra format? here's a screenshot of my paintbars and macd. i removed everything else to simplify, but the paintbars go very well with boll band double bottoms/triple tops and midline breaks.

Transact has officialy stopped supporting the Multi-chart application. We will be releaseing a new version of the price feed that will not be compatable with older version of Multi-chart.

 

For people who wish to know. Multi-chart owner is a very difficult person to work with who has trouble understanding simple things. One should make sure they have all sides to a story before they make choices.

I am very new to all of this but appreciate any help. I am trying to make a decision whether or not to go with MC to convert my eSignal efs indicators into an autotrade program, along with their lifetime license. They want all my codes up front before they can tell me if they can do it, which sounds reasonable. I dropped Transact recently due to many problems and now have OEC which interacts well with MC, so I've heard. Any advice?

OEC has a nice user friendly application but wait untill this is resolved at OEC: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f218/oec-histogram-faulty-volume-7105.html

OEC data works very well with MC. Once you begin working with easylanguage, if you are not a programmer, you will find you can still create your own studies and strategies after a little practice.

 

Electroniclocal, do you use MC besides MarketDelta?

I switched to MarketDelta as it has everything I need in one platform. I was using three apps to get the same that I now get in MD and its better. I still use MC to test ideas as I can do easylanguage (although nothing elaborate). There is not a good enough Market Profile for MC. One caveat about OEC, I don't use their charting package as all, just their DOM. I use other brokers as well.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
