From my experience with different platforms, no charting software can achieve 100% accuracy. This is probably impossible because if you anchor a trendline to 1M bar on 08.32 then if you change the resolution from 1M to 15M the platform will anchor the same trendline somewhere between 08.30 - 08.45. So no 100% accuracy is achievable on small set of data (like your picture).

Some of the platforms I tested however are more accurate on larger data set (''longer distances''), e.g. MC is such a platform that I can trust with regard to trendlines in region of 95%. But I trust MT4 only in region of 40%.

My suggestion to you guys would be to load AUDJPY data (the same instrument I used in my previous posts) into your platform and run comparative studies against MT4, MC, Ninja, etc. on the same example as I used.

If your programme is better than the above mentioned ones, you might want of course to advertise this: ''our trendlines are most trustable in the business. are better than those in Ninja and MT4'', or something similar.

But if your trendlines happen to be less trustable than MT4, Ninja, others, you might not want to advertise this or you might want to improve your trendlines.

Trendlines in MC tend to be the same regardless of the resolution chosen (no 100% accuracy of course). I have no idea what logic MC uses to adjust bar thickness and bar spacing as a trader changes resolution. Whatever these guys did, it works quite well (screenshots attached - whatever resolution I chose, 1M, 2M, 2H, 1D,... the trendline extention shows almost the same point).

If I were a developer a charting platform, I would draw multiple trendlines on 1M resolution accross a large time frame (assuming this is the correct one). Then I would switch the resolutions from 1M to 2M to 3M to .... and see if they match. If the don't match, I would correct the bar spacing on the resolution that mismatches (either decrease by 0....000001 of a minute or increase by 0.0....000001 of a minute, to arrive at a solution in which all resolutions have the same trendlines.

Nothing else comes to my mind.

Music for my ears. You could implement sheer bar candles the ones that you have in MT4. The ones you have at the moment certainly are candy for eyes: nice rounding, nice shadows - looks like 3D, but personally I like the old fashioned ones that do not distract me from trading.

Thank you again Tresor (and Kiwi) - we really appreciate your detailed explanations so that we can get to the crux of the problem here and hopefully come up with something.

We are sure however, that the math logic is correct:

e.g. trendline to 1M bar on 08.32 then if you change the resolution from 1M to 15M the platform will anchor the same trendline somewhere between 08.30 - 08.45. So no 100% accuracy is achievable on small set of data (like your picture).

So, if you are not convinced, then could you possibly send us an example of a screenshot, but using OUR CHARTS this time?

Also, concerning bars

...candy for eyes: nice rounding, nice shadows - looks like 3D...

, you can turn this functionality off if you want.

Thanks again Tresor, and we look forward to your screenshot if you could may be find time again to assist again, but please use our software for it, so we can reproduce it...

Sure, will you give me 2nd demo trial?

I didn't know this, I only played around with your software for a few hours and decided it was worth applauding in this forum

[pfsoft_support]

Great Tresor! Yes, we can definitely reward you with a 2nd demo account so you can fully test out PTmultistation; please send a request with your details by email for this trial to: support@pfsoft.com.

Thanks again for all your hard work in evaluating our software...

I sent an e-mail. So much happening on forex, I will be able to test the platform earliest during the weekend.

Guys,

I am sorry I will not be able to test your platform. Too much work at my end. Maybe in future when I have more time.

At the moment I cannot devote the time that your MultiStation certainly deserves.

Regards, and congrats on a good product.

[pfsoft_support]

Tresor, thanks for the note, and we'd really like to express our appreciation for all your hard work and comments.

We can give you a free demo if/when you do get time to do more testing, it would be great if you continue to post anything you find interesting...

I really don't like the Office 2007-like ribbon, is it possible to disable it and have a menu-based interface (a la Office 2003) ?

Thanks
