April 15, 2008. Version 3.0 of MultiCharts released

FEATURES

Strategy Back-Testing and Automation
• Intra-bar order generation
• Dynamic portfolio strategy back-testing and optimization
• All-new auto-trading engine. You can now be sure that your trade will be executed at a specified price because the limit order command can be written in a script. The program will automatically use OCA orders when it is important to avoid triggering the remaining orders when one of those is executed. Exits/entries can now be made through stop orders as well.

Unfilled limit and stop orders can now be automatically converted into market orders after the predetermined time-out elapses. This is a very important feature because limit and stop orders often can't be executed. However, the trading simulator cannot factor this in because it calculates strategies on trades. As a result, the real and virtual trading results are different. To avoid this problem, just enable the unfilled order conversion with, say, a 5-second timeout.

The auto-trading engine is seamlessly integrated with the familiar PowerLanguage key words which you use for back-testing. Therefore there will be no need to insert any additional commands to have auto-trading work.

The same symbol can now be traded from different charts/strategies. The program monitors market position for each chart separately which prevents conflicts between different strategies.

All the orders similar to SetStopLoss are now working. Financial advisor accounts are supported.

• Added exhaustive (brute force) optimization
• Exhaustive (brute force) and genetic optimization is available
• Auto-Trading for Interactive brokers
• 3D Optimization Chart that will allow finding robustness zones of strategy parameters. It is a sure method of avoiding over-optimization

Charting
• Added Symbol and interval linking
• Added the ability to open indicators and strategies right from a chart
• The indicator of the real-time quotes buffer allows watching the program state - in case the program cannot handle the incoming data timely, the indicator goes red, signaling that the quotes seen on the chart are not to be trusted as they are lagging behind the real data. Usually this happens when the program is overloaded with charts and/or indicators, or if the hardware configuration is not adequate for intense load of calculations
• Improved real-time performance, the gain will be especially noticeable on dual-core PCs, as several operations can now be performed in parallel using both cores
• Added a new kind of Range Bars. Unlike the previous method, this one handles price gaps differently. If the price goes outside the bar's range, that price movement is filled with virtual bars

• Added Bloomberg data feed
• Added TransAct Futures data feed
• Now firebird local server is integrated in the program and this will improve the program stability and decrease chances of blocking additional processes (services) by firewall
• The internal data management system has been completely changed. Formerly, each chart requested data from a data feed separately and this caused data discrepancy and considerable lagging. Errors were inconspicuous, but indicators did reveal problems as even a single lost tick could change completely the whole picture of Volume or Tick bars. For instance, received on real-time data signals differed greatly from those received on historical data
• Data request algorithm has been optimized for all data feeds, improving the speed of history data downloading on some feeds manifold. This is especially noticeable on Interactive Brokers data
• List of available exchanges added

Programming Language/Script Editor
• Improved PowerLanguage Editor graphical user interface

• Negative user_id in About dialog
• Incorrect "Return On Account" value in Strategy Back-testing Performance Report
• Disappearing data for the last session when mixing 2 resolutions in the same chart window
• Charts not updating after session breaks, so leaving the program overnight will result in the chart being frozen until you refresh it (not always reproducing)
• Endless "Establishing connection" when you press Ctrl+R
• Newly added futures symbols not showing in symbol list
• ASCII mapping returns "No Data" even when settings are all right

• ServerBusy occurs on start in QuoteManager
• After loading a workspace if one opens File->Print Preview, for the first time the window will be empty, for the second time the previewed workspace will be displayed
• MultiCharts crashes when Print Preview is closed using [X] icon. If one clicks Close, Print Preview will work properly
• QuoteManager->EditData. It is impossible to delete data. If one loads minutes, selects some of them and deletes, then closes and reopens the Edit Data window, the minutes will remain
• MultiCharts crashes after numerous disconnections from eSignal
• ASCII Export - crash because of invalid data such as 39090,0,-3.87904e+191,1.30339e-036

• If one changes an input and clicks Cancel in the Format Study window, input values are applied but they shouldn't
• If one recompiles a study applied to a chart, removes it from the chart and tries to rename in PLEditor, there will appear a message that this study is already used. And it is impossible to rename such study without restarting MultiCharts
• The problem with recompilation of functions that influence the applied indicators
• The problem with saving an already created but not saved function under another name
• By default Start Date and Close Date are the same and equal to the current time
• In some cases the list of SessionTemplates is displayed improperly in QuoteManager

• PowerTools by Teresa Lo are added to the Add-on section

Data Feeds and Data Management
• Added the ability to select the Data Server Mode. Now it is possible to work offline, receive onDemand data or connect to a real-time data feed. These options are especially required for Interactive brokers because TWS doesn't work during the weekend and it is not possible to work with MultiCharts. Moreover, IB not always allows you to download historical data if the server that supplies historical data doesn't work. And it makes you wait for data for a long period of time without success. But at the same time a real-time data feed is working. In this case the Online mode allows you to look at the receiving data and store it in the database
• Added the Cache for N Tick/Volume/Range bars. It results in speeding up greatly data downloading. After the first downloading of a chart, all bars are stored in the cache and on the next restart data will be received immediately. This optimization gives traders who are using William Schamp's methods a possibility to open Volume charts in seconds
• Added the Message Log in QuoteManager. Now it is possible to see the status of the data source in all details
• Added different session templates

• A local quote management system for data storage and rapid access to it. All the data is stored in the local database, so you don't need to download it over and over again
• Advanced import of ASCII data into symbols of any data feeds. Automatic recognizing of most known formats, high performance and support for multigigabyte files
• Advanced ASCII mapping. Sometimes importing data to the database is extremely complicated or outright impossible. In such a case ASCII mapping is the solution, especially if one or several ASCII files constantly used are periodically updated. Even if there are several updates per day, re-importing hundreds of symbols is difficult or just not feasible. When mapping, the file path and format is indicated once, and every time a chart is created the program finds the file automatically, converts it into the necessary format based on the preset configuration and displays the data
