Is there any multichart users out there? Is it as good as tradestation and what app is the best on resources? It seems to be able to use all of the tradestation code but some say it is a resource hog.

Thanks

ptop - do a search as MC has been brought up a few times. I was using them quite a bit before moving over to Open ECry's charts.

Hello

I'm using MultiCharts, it works perfectly (IMHO) and after their latest release the performance is okay - it uses alot of ram (300kb) but that is maybe because I have 6 Workspaces each with between 2 and 4 charts

I've only seen TS at videos, TS is a much more mature work - no doubt about that, but TSSupport is ongoing in the developing MC, besides that, they are very nice in their forum and listens to new ideas for whatever feature you want.

januson I just installed MC and am having problems with daily charts, i am using IB data and all I'm able to get is 1 day data and 2 months forward from today without data, I have tried all day to set this up with no luck, tried there forum but it seems u can't even register for the forum????Does someone here know how I can register for the forum? Also to change multiple chart symbols is hit and miss mostly miss, u would think with all the linking abilities that u would be able to link to the quotemanager???? I go to format symbol and enter symbol and nothing. Is there also a way for IB clients to get more than 6 months data like Ensign has and also continuous contract? And what is with the quote manager it's not even streaming data, this is the first charting package that I have seen without this or am I missing it?

Thanks

Also I installed the tick delta that i got from soultrader here in MC and it is showing the volume bars as 2 different bars 1 behind the other, do u use this with multicharts and if so did u notice the same thing?

ptop,
The data restrictions are from IB NOT MC. I had the same problem with Open ECry data. It all depends on how much data IB is allowing. Contact IB and see what they say.

brown IB allows 6 months, the strange thing is i set 5 months in MC and it would show the current trading day and 2 month ahead as in it was November 2 and would show dates at bottom of chart to January 2 2008??

Thanks for your response brown
