    Dear MultiCharts Users,

    Multicharts 5.0 Beta is now available. We are starting beta-testing of a new version of MultiCharts that will include an extensive list of new features and enhancements, please the complete list below. This version is stable enough to use it for everyday work, however, some bugs might appear as happens in any beta version. Customers willing to participate in beta-testing are welcome to install this beta version, use its new functionality and inform us about all found problems in this thread. As soon as we fix all the problems found during beta-testing, the release of the new version will be announced.

    FEATURES

    Scanner
    • Script-driven text generation in the Scanner cells
    • String arguments for plots are now supported
    • Trend Histogram has been added
    • Scanner bars back/days back option has been added

    Auto Trading
    • Market position at the broker can be synchronized with the market position in auto trading. When auto trading is launched, its market position can be brought in accordance with the market position at the broker. You will be able to choose the position direction (flat, long, or short) and specify the number of contracts, together with the average price. MultiCharts can also be instructed to synchronize the market position for auto trading automatically.
    • Auto trading disabling on connection loss mechanism has been changed. MultiCharts attempts to re-establish connection to TWS not only in case of the connection loss due to the connectivity problems, but in case of TWS being closed and launched again. Auto trading remains active until the connection is secured again (unless data loss occurs or orders have been submitted).

    Charting
    • Fractional price scales are supported. Instruments whose prices are traditionally reflected as fractions can now be viewed either as decimals or as fractions, depending on what settings have been chosen in QuoteManager.

    Backtesting and Optimization
    • Backtesting-Chart Synchronization has been added. It is now possible to click on a point on one of the available Equity Curve lines or on a trade in the List of Trades and have the chart scrolled to the respective trade and have the entry arrow highlighted.

    Portfolio Backtesting and Optimization
    • Portfolio Money Management Settings
    In Portfolio Settings, new fields have been added to bring portfolio behavior still closer to real-life trading.
    In the ‘Required Capital Assumptions in Margin Trading’
    a) the margin can be specified, either as an absolute value taken from QuoteManager or as a percentage of the contract cost.
    b) potential loss can be specified, either as an absolute value or as percentage of your available capital
    • Period Analysis for Portfolio Backtesing. Detailed period breakdown has been incorporated into the Portfolio Backtesting Report.
    • Correlation analysis has been added into. It is now possible to view the performance correlation between different symbols within a portfolio - based on daily, monthly, and on annual equity.

    Power Language
    • String arguments for plots are now supported

    6. If data request is changed while auto trading is on and there is an open position, the studies are not recalculated
    7. If auto trading is on and there is an open position, adding/deleting the same symbol as the one being traded results in a deadlock
    8. Real-time and history data merging will not work after plotting the without merging and vice versa

  2. 又升级了,呵呵
     
  3. 投资组合测试功能是否multicharts独有?

    要是只有multicharts有投资组合测试功能的话,本人就下决心好好学习multichart,放弃原来的wld。请高人指教!谢谢!
     
  4. 就我目前的測試結果,它只可以做到單一策略單一參數套入多項商品中,舉例來說,可以用Moving Average 5D Cross Over/Under 10D 進行 Long Short at SPX, HSI,etc.
     
  5. 可以不同品种使用各自德参数吗?

    比如spx使用10-20均线cross,hsi使用5-10cross?
     
  6. 有没有破解板呀
     
  7. 是付费软件,不知道接受行情需要付费不~~
     
  8. "比如spx使用10-20均线cross,hsi使用5-10cross? "

    是全部都用10-20 Cross
     
  9. MultiCharts 不知道會不會再研發多策略多商品,如果就只能單一策略,那自動交易的功能就沒意義了
     
  10. 这一关很难过。如果初始设计时没考虑,后面再加是很难的。
     
  11. 这是个什么功能?TS里面有么?
    多开几个CHART,应该可以多策略。我理解有误?
     
  12. 如此简单的策略都不好实现,请各位大侠指教!

    最新版mc5beta3可以多商品多策略,功能超强,欢迎交流!
    我倒是有个简单的策略不知各位大侠能否在mc5中试试实现它:日线周期下,若当日开盘<=前收盘*0.99 && 前收盘*0.99>=10日均线,以当日开盘价买入,获利0.5%止盈或收盘平仓.
