MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi,

When is support for IOG planned to be rolled out for Portfolio Trader and how is it possible to give it higher priority?

The difference of backtesting with vs without IOG enabled is huge.

champski,

Portfolio Trader does not support IOG and BarMagnifier for signals. IOG is supported for the money management signal only.
We understand the importance and demand of this functionality and we are considering adding it in the future. We cannot provide any ETA for it, as this is not a trivial functionality. It requires development of the new complex algorithms for synchronous multi data stream processing in backtesting and realtime on a portfolio level.

Hi

What do you mean by "IOG is supported for the money management signal only."?

Champski,

In Portfolio Trader one can use Money Management Signals. Please refer to the following article for more information:
https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... nt_Signals
Money Management Signals work in IOG mode by default.

Hi,

Do you have any more information on the Money Management Signals as I really have really have no idea what it is used for and how to use it.
Is it used for backtesting or forward testing or both?

Would my code need to change to use it?

Champski,

You can find Money Management (MM) Signal examples in this article:
https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... y_Examples

If a MM signal is included in your portfolio, it is used during all operations (back and forward testing, auto trading). It is not required for everyone to use it, so you can decide for yourself whether you need it or not.
