MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

So Great!

Files are uploading for closed beta testers this very minute. They will be sent out later today.

My first impressions as beta tester:
After 30 minutes of try, it looks more than promising!!! It looks really great!
I'm sure .NET fans will love it !

I'm reading the code of common indicators (bollinger/keltner/average), it's really clean and the api seems really easy! That's what I wanted!!! So great.

I asked to be added to the beta testers list, I have not received the download link, how can I get the download link?

Thanks.

You should write a mail to the support with your mail and your actual license.
And it should be ok!

But I think the support is closed soon! So tomorrow

Thanks.

I'm getting to everyone, don't worry.

lol, thanks.

If any beta testers did not get an email from me today, I will send tomorrow (there is about half the list still open). If you don't get it by tomorrow evening, it's possible it got caught up in your spam filters. Please ask to resend.

First function and first indicator done! Wooow happy

First function and first indicator done!

Can someone post codes of a simple study in both versions: EL and .NET? I am interested to see the differences in both languages.

Hello Tresor,

I'm not sure I can post them here! The beta is closed for the moment.
Maybe the best thing to do, is to ask to be beta tester to be able to read the documentation!

Regards,

I'm not sure I can post them here!

Sure you can. You just need to stike a few keys on your keyboard and make some movements with your mouse

There's a video in the latest blog post which might give an idea about the code.

Btw, that also shows it's not that closed - probably the 'closed' refers more to that you have to be an experienced .NET programmer. So who's willing to post a code example to further enhance our enthusiasm?

The indicator codes are open.

What is "closed" is the beta testing -- we are not supposed to post anything about the program in public.


Please wait a few weeks... after the "closed" testing period, the beta will be open for all to try.

If I post a code, I post a few things about the API (and so about the program).
I will not post codes until I have the authorization of the MC staff!

But you know, if you are customers of MC, you will easily get a beta version with the documentation! Come one, send a mail to the support

I owe you guys apologies. Being a layman in coding I thought a ''.NET'' was a programming language, while - after reading wikipedia articles I realised - it's not.

What programming language are the studies in MC.NET written? - C++, C#, F#, ..., ...?

C#

Then I have a favour to ask: can you post codes (EL vs. C#) of a simple study?

Never cared to learn EL. Since C# seems to have advantages over EL I might actually want to learn coding in it.

Is the .NET version 32 or 64 bit?

If both, how will you be able to sustain 4 different versions (MC 32 and 64bit and MC.NET 32 and 64 bit) in the long haul?

Just wondering....

There are both versions!

**************************
I'm sure that in the future(5 years or so) everything will be 64bit only, it's just in this transition period, that both are necessary....

For the bit versions, the program code would be the same. It is the compiler that makes the difference.

The 32 bit compiler creates the 32 bit version,
and the 64 bit compiler creates the 64 bit version.



As to the EL version and .NET versions,
from my view (IMHO), I can see that
in the long run, there will be less development demand on the .NET version.
Because users can create virtually anything they want themselves,
including their own personalized keywords and features.

Interesting comment. I was also thinking about this recently, but it is really true that with the MC .NET the user can 'create virtually anything'? Perhaps a better wording of this question is: will everything be accessible to the .NET programmer?

For example, if I recall correctly, it isn't possible with MC .NET to create custom bar types, like NT users have done. So I figure that's not accessible for the programmer. It would be interesting to hear what things can and what things can't be changed in MC .NET.

I am a power language user and
I am thinking about learn .net language in order to use MC.net and access more features.

Can I just learn VB.net to use MC.NET?

or I have to learn C# as well?

Please advise.

By the way, do i have to learn how to access data base in .net language or just learn the language will be enough?

These answers are answered in the blog posts about MC .NET, in case you missed those.

Thanks Josh, it seems VB and C# all works but existing MC indicator and strategy will be coded in C#.
So it might be better to learn C# to be able to understand those existing indicators in MC.NET...

justmake, we have already implemented support for VB.net.
You can learn either VB.net or C# to use MC.NET.
