MultiCharts is a
professional charting and automated trading platform, designed for futures,
stock, and forex traders. A key feature of MultiCharts is the compatibility with
industry-standard TradeStation® EasyLanguage®. EasyLanguage® studies can be
customized, optimized, and back-tested prior to implementing them on the real
market.
MultiCharts includes very powerful and flexible charting that handles
multi-symbol and multi-timeframe charts, and works with most leading streaming
data vendors. Time-based and Count-based, as well as Bid, Ask, or Trade-based
data series can be mixed within the same chart.
Scanner
MultiCharts market scanner is an indispensable tool for screening quotes and
ranking the financial instruments that you monitor. While being very easy to
use, the MultiCharts scanner is a powerful tool that can:
· Screen markets
· Rank tickers based on your custom criteria
· Perform all the operations not only with real-time, but also with end-of-day
data
· Mix different datafeeds within the same workspace
· Allows using the locally stored data
Please note: the current version of the scanner supports 200 symbols. In the
upcoming MultiCharts versions, this number will be raised to 1000. The scanner
will soon be optimized for higher speed, better performance, and more efficient
memory usage.
Auto Trading
· Synchronous Mode for Auto Trading
Synchronous Auto Trading mode (SAT) is a mode when orders are plotted on the
chart only after they have been executed at the broker.
SAT helps you to avoid discrepancies between the market position according to
the chart and the one on the broker’s end under the following conditions:
1. One strategy is applied to one symbol
2. The market position at the broker equals zero at the time when auto trading
is launched
3. A trader does not trade the symbol via the terminal during auto trading
4. During the connection loss, the broker did not send notifications about full
order filling (cancellation)
· Status Switch/Indicator for Auto Trading
This is an element in the chart status-line to control auto trading. It allows
users to quickly enable/disable auto trading. The color of the switch indicates
the auto trading status (on/off).
Optimization
· Custom Fitness Function
Traders can set their own search criteria for strategy optimization.
Optimization based on multiple criteria allows finding strategies that meet a
number of conditions instead of maximizing a single performance measure. This
feature is supported both in regular and portfolio back-testing. It can be
deployed by both genetic and exhaustive search optimization.
