Auto Trading with MultiCharts on Forex Market

Recommended Posts

For months, I try to use the Auto Trading with MultiCharts on the forex market.

The strategy itself is fine and gives correct results in backtest mode and real time mode on FXCM data provided by IQFeed.

 

The problem appears when I try to use the automated trading on FXCM account.

 

The strategy does not calculate at all the exit price in the same way as in 'Real Time' Mode.

 

The one and only difference I see between the two situations is that in local mode, the strategy uses fxcm data provided by iqfeed, while in Auto Trading the strategy uses Real-Time Data from Broker (fxcm broker in my case...)

 

And the only parameter associated with the data and may justify the errors of calculation could be the Big Point Value (BPV) of the instrument.

 

In the case of data used locally, the fxcm data provided by iqfeed, the BPV is set to 1, and verifiable through QuoteManager.

But in the case of Real-Time Data from Broker used by Auto Trading, I have no way of knowing what is used as the BPV ...

 

Assuming that the BPV is say, 10000, how can my strategy runs well in Real Time Mode (BPV=1) AND in Auto Trading Mode (BPV = 10000)?

Briefly, what is the solution to my strategy has the same behavior with two values of BPV??

 

Thank you in advance !

Not sure I understand the problem. You will have separate quote manager entries for IQFEED & FXCM. Each should have the appropriate BPV set. If you can't quickly work out the value for FXCM by trial and error then contact support@tssuport.com they are most helpful.

Thank you for this answer!

Indeed, tssupport has solved my problem.

However, I would like to know if there are on this forum, traders who use MC in Automatic Trading on a Forex account, to share with them the pitfalls and tips on this topic ...

You may need to check the price scale and minimum move settings for the Forex pair in QuoteManager - if the are left to the defaults, the BPV, Round2Fraction, etc may return unexpected results. This fixed a similar problem for me - good luck!

Hi

 

I needed some help on building an automated system either in Multicharts or ninja trader. I need to start by just looking at looking for 3 consecutive bullish bars on a range chart to give me a signal ..

Can you guys help me with how to accomplish this?

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
