Multicharts and Market Orders

Hi,

i have a problem, in easy language(Multichart) i write "buy this bar at market", but multicharts buys only on open on next bar, it's too late for me. Maybe someone can recomend me some soft which can resolve this problem? Because as i know multichart doesn't support such types of orders. Am i wrong?

Thank for help!

Contact TSSuport then. It must be a bug if you used the correct syntax.

Re: Multicharts and Market Orders

BlowFish, do you use multicharts?
Coud you check this simple strategie, i'm intresting what results you will get.

[IntrabarOrderGeneration=t rue]
IF Low < Low[1] then
sellshort this bar at market;
if high > High[1]then
buytocover this bar at market;

Please also see attached file, which results i recieve and what i really want from this strategy, maybe it will be more clear.

Re: Multicharts and Market Orders

I do have MC but don't really use strategies. I would help but there are probably far better qualified people that are less likely to give you duff information.

You do have tick data available for the instrument you are using?

Final thought you might get better help on TSSuport support or forum.

Re: Multicharts and Market Orders

I don't think you can ever use "this bar at market", has to be "next bar at market." But with IntrabarOrderGeneration "next bar at market" becomes "next tick at market" is my understanding. Haven't tried this in many moons but used to work like this. Didn't you get this info in that other thread? You tried it and it didn't work?

Re: Multicharts and Market Orders

"next bar" is crucial for my strategie. I need to fill order immediatly at market price when signal fires up, not on next bar.
I started new thread beacause i thought it can be soft problems and maybe there are better programs which can fill orders immiediatly.
