MultiCharts 15 Release
Posted: Mar 05 2024
by Kate MultiCharts
Dear Users,
We’re happy to announce that MultiCharts 15 is now officially available!
Download and get started
here to see what we’ve prepared for you.
Here are the new features you can test out:
- Simulated Trading. Data playback in MultiCharts was completely redesigned and transformed into the trading simulator — you can go back in time and use this time machine to improve your trading strategy. Trading simulator can use regular ask and bid data, as well as depth of market (Level 2) data. With the built-in Market Data Sim data, for a selected number of popular symbols, you can start simulated trading with just a few clicks.
Find more in our Wiki here.
- External Alerts. Now you can receive alerts from MultiCharts not only by email, but also in Slack and Telegram.
With our How to Set Up External Alerts guide you’ll get them working in no time.
Find more in
our blog and
What's New section.

A nice feature that appears to have gone is the ability to jump to a specific bar and end all charts on that bar. Then I can run my studies over a shorter period to save time. Then I stop them and click on "Go To Realtime" to go back to the original state to show all the data if I need to. Is it now done a different way? Now I had to manually set the data range for all my charts to that shorter term range, and pin them to the end date, and keep changing the data ranges if I decide to use a longer or shorter period. Is there a way to change the "From" and "To" dates across all charts in one go instead of doing it to each one individually?

Hello janus,
You can enable the Workspace Mode (Format → Simulated Trading),
set a starting point to begin simulation and pause the simulation.
When you need to get back to the whole chart, click the Go to Realtime button on your toolbar or in Format → Simulated Trading.
Please see a short video for reference
here.

Upon upgrade to MC 15, my Historical Data Download, scheduled daily, didn't complete.
There is nothing in the Historical Data Download Scheduler logs;
the Last Run result in Windows Task Scheduler: "The operator or administrator has refused the request (0x0800710E0)".
Windows 11.
Which folder permissions should i check?

Hello Zheka,
The behaviour does not occur on our end.
Historical Data Download Scheduler tasks work as expected after upgrading from MultiCharts 14 to MultiCharts 15.
Please follow these steps to troubleshoot:
- In QuoteManager → Tools → Historical Data Downloader Scheduler double-check your task settings and rename your task on the Schedule Settings tab.
- Make sure the Remember password (in the window where you enter your login and password) and Remember my choice (in the License Manager, if you have multiple licenses) boxes are checked. If you don’t see these windows when you open MultiCharts – the boxes are checked.
- Close all MultiCharts components and make sure there are no MC processes left in the Task Manager → Details tab → Description column.
- Open the Windows’ Task Scheduler: click the Windows Start and start typing “Task Scheduler”, it’ll pop up.
- Run your Historical Data Downloader Scheduler task there manually: select it in the Task Scheduler Library there and click Run on the Actions panel.
Check the Task Manager. If you see MultiCharts processes there, and the reported error occurs, please send us a Feedback report via Windows Start (start typing "Feedback", the app will pop up).
In the Feedback window select the following options:
- Attach a screenshot;
- Attach log files…;
- Attach minidump for crash analysis;
- Snapshot of the current MC setup;
- Upload collected data to Help Desk;
uncheck other options and click Send.
If you don’t see MultiCharts’ processes in the Task Manager after running your task – the issue is with the Windows’ Task Scheduler. You might want to look up more info about it online.

Yesterday, following the advice on SO, i ensured that the User in the Task (in Win Task scheduler) is with the domain - i just selected the user again.
The task then ran properly , as before.

With 2 historical data "collects" in progress, when i click on Stop Collecting in the dropdown menu, it shows an "empty" window indicating that no downloads are in progress...i guess the intention was to have an 'aggregated view" of the data downloads, giving ability to selectively cancel some....right?

Zheka,
At the moment the Data Collecting Progress window does not display historical data downloading, only real-time and sample data collection.
But we're planning to change it in one of the future releases.

May i suggest that the Data Range in the new Edit Data dialogue window be shown in bold, please?
The Start and End - in boxes - take all the attention and it is very difficult to discern what the dates for the existing data

Another note on new UI: the all-white(background)/black fonts color scheme and spacing in Signal/Strategy properties worsens the legibility of it all....
In MC 14, settings/preferences were eye-friendlier. Please consider reverting.
Oh.. and those spaces in "Do you want to cancel strategy
optimization?"

Zheka,
Our Properties windows now use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), so we’d recommend adjusting your Windows Personalization settings to make these windows eye-friendlier for you.
As for other suggestions, I passed them to the development team for evaluation.

After some days of using the new 15 release, I've had to roll back to the previous version due to continuous LAGs in the DOM and the executions of my trades. My Limits Orders were visible on DOM, but when the trade prices, passed over my limit exit order or entry order, it would stay visible NOT executed for seconds in the same position on DOM even if they were executed and only after many seconds I saw them executed in the DOM and in the order and Position tracker. If I moved my Limit orders higher or lower, it took seconds (sometimes more than 20 seconds) to see the same order in the new position. I use 4 instances of Multicharts, the same Desktops files used for years, created and saved with the previous releases of Multicharts. Instances with 3 or 4 workspaces for each instance/Desktop, based on tick chart analysis, Point charts, Volume analysis, and so ON (NOT only price, but with Volume indicators based on tick analysis). With the previous release, I Had no problem with LAG (MC 14 R10 and before).
I've an i9 20 cores CPU, 112 GB of RAM, and 2 RTX 2070 8Gb dedicated video cards. Yesterday I rolled back to MC 14 R10 and the LAGs disappeared. Probably the new SIM engine has a relevant impact on the regular functionality of the platform. MC 15 has a massive CPU and GPU utilization, about twice that of release 14. For now, I can't work with this new release

Just stumbled again on a long-time annoyance with PLEditor:
Say, you have been working in a session with 15-20+ studies open and then closed PLEditor for the night. Your session is remembered and restored to the same state when you open PLEditor the next time. Great!
However, importing studies from a file when PLEditor is closed, 'cleans' up the previous session!
To get back to work, you need to get to the 'recent files' - which has a short memory (of 13, in what order?) - and open them one-by-one.
Asso, PLEditor doesn't remember your "window tiling' preference: it will open scripts in "Cascade", even though my last session was with "Maximize All". ( do we need Cascade anyway?)
Please make our lives easier.

PL Editor is extremely outdated. We can write all we want about small changes and tweaks but it won't make any (real) difference. And in reality this is a lot of work to make a good IDE with good functionality.
In my opinion MC can take a shortcut and make an extension for VS Code. With significantly less effort MC will then offer the most popular and powerful IDE. I created a topic for devs to review if it's possible to do that. If you agree, consider voting here:

Agree 100%. However, I no longer use PL Editor much - only for basic front-end code. Most of my coding is now done in a DLL using a very good IDE specifically designed for FreeBasic. It's called WinFBE. It's also a Windows GUI design tool much like Visual Studio. I don't like VS as it's too cumbersome. I could get used to it but WinFBE is so much simpler and easier to use, and it suits my purposes more than enough.

Hi Kate, I've sent Log files, some videos, screenshots to the DEV support. I have just received an email with the Patch to fix the problem which has been identified to your end dev support.
Next hours I will reinstall/update to MC 15 and run the Patch FIX. I will let you know if it will run as it should after fixing the problem

Interesting. I tried to look for a plugin for Eclipse, which is a much better environment for program development but couldn't find one. It's worth building a plug-in for Eclipse as it's used extensively in many other environments. Here's a brief description of Eclipse and who they are:
The Eclipse Foundation provides our global community of individuals and organisations with a business-friendly environment for open source software collaboration and innovation. We host the Eclipse IDE, Adoptium, Software Defined Vehicle, Jakarta EE, and over 410+ open source projects, including runtimes, tools, specifications, and frameworks for cloud and edge applications, IoT, AI, automotive, systems engineering, open processor designs, and many others. Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, the Eclipse Foundation is an international non-profit association supported by over 360 members.

Thanks but I was making a general suggestion for all users, not for myself. As I stated before, I no longer do a lot of programming in PowerLanguage. All the serious work is done using WinFBE and Freebasic via a DLL. Satisfies my requirements very well, especially if I ever need to migrate to another trading platform, which I doubt at this stage. My code also runs a lot faster than if it was all written in PL. I've done many tests to prove it.

Bug regarding Stocks and Indices from NYSE and Nasdaq via IB Smart
Posted: May 03 2024
by dahmen walter
Hello,
since version 15 closing of workspaces containing symbols like e.g. QCOM, ORCL, PPG and SPGI for Stocks and XLC, XLY, XLP, XLE, XLF, XLV (from ARCA via Smart) do not count down the number of symbols in use at IB. Utilization of cache for real-time price data is unchecked. All symbols from EUREX, CME, CBOT, NYMEX and SMI behave correctly as it was with previous versions.
Please have a look at this observation as the only way no get rid of this symbols occupying symbols used on IB TWS is complete closing of all MC workspaces and the quotemanager.
In addition I would like to know if the new IBKR Desktop is working without problems with MC 15 ( Ihave not yet installed IBKR desktop).
Thanks in advance for taking care.

So are you saying that data subscriptions continue even if the workspace is closed and the quotemanager is not set to update the data?
Does a restart of MC cause the data subscriptions to stop if that workspace is not reopened?

I'm seeing that in MultiCharts 15 the IB subscriptions don't continue to refresh after the daily restart of the IB TWS process.
A restart of MultiCharts will cause the data to start filling in again.
Anyone else seeing this?

Hello,
The CTRL+B shortcut for "Flush Cached Data" is available in QuoteManager.
I'll discuss with the development team if it's possible to add the same shortcut in the main MultiCharts window.
As for the behaviour with QuoteManager, it's not reproduced on our end.
Could you please
join our live chat Monday-Friday from 5:30 AM till 1:00 PM ET to demonstrate it?

As for the behaviour with QuoteManager, it's not reproduced on our end.
Could you please
join our live chat Monday-Friday from 5:30 AM till 1:00 PM ET to demonstrate it?
Yes of course i will go today to your Live chat

I'm experiencing again extremely HIGH latency in execution orders , modifying orders and inserting orders. Sometimes OCO orders when the price reaches the exit LEVEL, instead of exit (profit or stop) reverse the order. I know that I'm not the only one who is having these problems with orders and very HIGH Latency. Sometimes is even impossible to cancel the orders. The platform doesn't respond anyway. The only solution is to close everything and restart it again with very very high risk. I've performed the Update patch many times, but these problems still remain. These problems happened especially with fast markets or high volatility markets such as Nasdaq future
Please solve these problems as soon as possible.

Hello, I recently upgraded from 14 to 15 latest. I now face problems with some symbols stop streaming from IB/TWS 10.28.01d - API 10.27.01. I use multiple desktops. At some point (for example reconnect, pacing violation) some charts are not updating anymore. The affected symbols are random. I don't collect data in the QM. Is anything known in this regard?
At this point I guess I have to downgrade. How does this work? Deinstallation and then installation of the old MC version?
Best

Hello Andreas,
Historical Data Pacing Violation error message appears due to IB data request limitations, it is not connected with the version of MultiCharts.
In order to reset the pacing violation, IB software can be restarted or one can press Ctrl+Alt+F in the IB window to force it to reconnect to its data servers.
Here is more info about it.
If you’d like to downgrade anyway, you will need to delete MultiCharts 15 and then install MC 14.

Hello Polly,
thank you for answering. Pacing is not the main issue. Streaming is partly broken often with my setup. And this is related to MC15, I am sure about that. What means 'delete MC15'? Deinstall or killing any remains?

Andreas,
Please make sure you install the
Update Patch for MC 15 (as it includes some improvements for IB as well).
By deleting I mean just removing the app in the Windows Settings → Apps → MultiCharts → Uninstall → Remove. When deleting, please
do NOT check the "Remove MultiCharts user data from computer" box to keep your data safe. There is no need to delete anything else.

Hey there,
I'm sticking with 14 for now.. my question is, can install both versions on a single PC or must the installation of 15 be over the top of 14?
If it must install over the top, could I plz have a link to a beta version of 15 that can be run side by side with a 14 installation?
Cheers
OZ

OZ,
No, there is no option to install both versions (14 and 15) of MultiCharts on the same PC.
Beta version of MultiCharts 15 is already discontinued and not supported.

OZ, you can create a Virtual Machine using Microsoft 10 pro or 11 pro to run both versions. See:
