Seeing what is behind the scenes
We have been constantly improving the stability of our products and today we have reached the point in which the application can control its own integrity. The platform can now generate an alert when you have reached the limits of your OS, hardware, bandwidth, software and/or broker processing speed.
On top of that one can now check the complete order’s life cycle in a graphical form to understand how the system and the broker have processed the specific order.
If you are in a constant search for the best settings combination, or if you just need to recall how your strategy was configured when it placed an order in the past, it is now super easy to see a snapshot of all system settings at any point in time.
Faster Volume Profile + the drawing!
We have had a large demand for being able to add the Volume Profile to a chart on the fly and receiving the plot super-fast. It is now possible with our Volume Profile Drawing tool! Both the drawing and the “classic” Volume Profile can be built out of minute and daily data now (which is faster than using ticks), without losing the ability of the in-depth volume analysis using the tick data. We have also added the new alignment options that you may have missed, but they are really awesome, so go check it out!
Historical Data Downloader
QuoteManager now offers the ability to download the historical data for a specified list of symbols/settings with just a few clicks. You can also schedule the download to be run automatically on a repetitive basis. Maintaining your historical data has never been easier!
Self-Adaptive Trading
This is a great enhancement for automated trading, in which recurring re-optimization of the strategy can be done on newly received data. This feature offers the ability to apply the new optimized input values without turning off the enabled auto trading. There is also an option to measure the received values and apply them only if they are better by the specified percentage. During the optimization, the strategy continues to trade with the current parameters, regardless of how long the optimization process takes. It is possible to schedule a recurring self-adaptive optimization, or to perform it manually. Please note that this functionality is available in MultiCharts64 only.
Strategy Orders Monitor
This new feature allows for the monitoring of all strategies that are currently being calculated on real-time data and during data playback. The new window displays the orders generated by the strategy before their execution on the chart in the Forward Testing mode, or before they are sent to the broker in the auto trading mode.
In the past, “raw” orders collection was never shown to the user in a graphical form. It was required to program the output logic using Print or FileAppend commands in order to analyze the “inner” operation of the strategy before starting the auto trading. MultiCharts now offers this unique tool that displays all generated, sent and finalized orders. Please note that this functionality is available in MultiCharts64 only.
License Manager
The License Manager window allows for viewing your license details, specifically: your license volume, its expiration date and the features enabled for it. It also introduces the ability to purchase an additional license directly from your MultiCharts platform and automatically link it to your existing account, as well as automatically authorizing MultiCharts with the new license. Trial users do not have to pause their work after the trial expiration, as the license is created automatically.
Quandl data feed
Quandl is well-known as a good, free source of historical data. It provides vast amounts of data and it is easy to use and understand. We hope you’ll enjoy it, as we have added Quandl to the list of the supported data feeds. Now their daily historical data is available for backtesting. The API-key can be received at [url]https://www.quandl.com/[/url] after their free registration.
Improving the usability
Everyone knows that Instrument Linking was global across all platform instances and we have received a number of requests to add a local linking option, within a single instance of MultiCharts. This option is now available AND it doubles the color options!
Additionally, we have completely reworked our most “option rich” windows, which allows for them to fit any screen, being it a laptop or your 4K screen at home. In order to make it easier to find and understand the options themselves, we have regrouped and renamed them.
We have also added a bunch of “to the point” improvements in various aspects of the software that we feel everyone was missing in MultiCharts. Check the full list below for more!
