MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hello,

I've got the following questions:

1. Is it possible to transfer indicators from one chart to another? For example, I have 5 indicators (sma, rsi etc.) and want to use them on all charts - of different stocks. Is it possible to copy the indicators without reconfiguring them manually for every single chart?

2. Sometimes I switch from a daily chart to a 15min chart... I'd like some indicators still relate to the same amount of time instead of the number of bars - e.g. I have an sma indicator which changes from averaging the last 20 days to averaging the last 20 * 15 minutes... I'd like to define the period in the indicator instead of it using the chart settings. Is this possible?

Regards,
Mark

Press [F1] and search for Study Templates.

It is not possible, the MA indicators are based on bars.

Okay, thanks for the really fast answer! Two more questions:

1. How can I reopen the Trade Bar? I've accidentally closed it and now I can't find a way to reopen it...

2. Can I run MC in a "simulate orders" mode? I don't want to have my orders executed before I know exactly how the program works...

Okay, I've found the answer to my first question... after a loooong search. (View => Show Trade Bar)... don't know why I didn't see it before.

You have to connect MultiCharts to your broker's demo account.

e.g. Interactivebrokers offers a papertrading account for their clients that functions just like a real account, with real data, and processes orders in real time.
