MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi, is this on the road map for any particular release of Multicharts in the future? Where does this stand for Portfolio Trader? I know that this has been discussed many times but can we have an update on this.

Kind regards,

Alex

I'm also curious to hear possible future plans for this.

For background information, I found in the project management two related issues:

- Bar Magnifier and IOG for the Portfolio Backtesting and Trading
- Backtesting precision with bar magnifier with multiple frame

Both requests were postponed in August 2017, by the way.

@JoshM, I did look at the project management and I remember these being discussed in the past. The benefit of having bar magnification on multiple data streams would be huge. It is much too easy to create over optimistic back tests using anything other than data1 the way things work now.

Do you have any idea why they were postponed? I can't think of any feature I would rather have at the moment. As for Portfolio Trader which I use daily, it seems to be forgotten apart from the occasional bug fix.

Kind regards,

Alex

It would be nice to get an update from MultiCharts on this. Me, and people I know, often run into limitations with the Portfolio Trader because there's no intra-bar order generation/Bar Magnifier feature.

Hello,

Due to the peculiarities of Portfolio Trader technically it is very difficult to add Intra-Bar Order Generation, since the number of the instruments in Portfolio Trader is not limited.
So, currently we do not have plans for implementing Intra-Bar Order Generation in Portfolio Trader.
