Now with CQG?!
I just was told that Multicharts is now available to use for CQG data... this is great. Anyone know the conditions or price? I like this platform, currently use NinjaTrader/CQG but want to also use Multicharts/CQG.

Multithreading, 64 bit, precision tick sequencing
As a programmer and developer of my own EasyLanguage tools, I long since committed to working exclusively with MultiCharts for my coding after becoming frustrated with the persistent limitations of TradeStation.
MultiCharts makes full use of my system hardware with features like MultiThreading, and the stability and speed of the latest 64 bit edition put MC miles ahead of the competition.
For me as a programmer, the precision tick sequencing functionality down to microsecond accuracy makes it possible to produce code calculations that can only be imagined in other platforms :)
The continual and ongoing implementation of user suggestions, and the genuine efforts to duplicate bugs and eliminate them quickly in my mind puts MultiCharts as a Gold Standard in support of their users and development of the platform.
For someone considering their options for a charting and execution or automation platform, look no further.

Best continues to get better
When I as a beginner should choose software for about two years ago. So the choice was not easy, made such a careful examination I could and chose MultiCharts. It was among the best choices I ever made.
It was easy to understand in even for a beginner. Support was among the best I've seen, but almost always answer is in the forum. The development of MultiCharts going at a furious pace. I was happy and just keeps getting happierwith each update that comes along. The latest, version 7, was a masterpiece. DOM was a missing piece of the puzzle now fell into place.
I do not want anything but MultiCharts!

Multicharts- the "Perfect" choice for me.
I switched to Multicharts a few years ago, when Tradestation no longer
supported their "off-Line" platform, it was "buggy" as well
and I needed a more modern "reliable" platform, that used my broker's
datafeed (IB). I am a Trader NOT a professional programmer, so I was looking
for a trading platform that wouldn't require learning yet another programming language.
Luckily, Multicharts supports Tradestaton's Easylanguage, so I didn't need to
learn another language and even better, my hundreds of Easylanguage studies are easily
imported into Multicharts ! To summerize- Free data from many brokers, EL
compatible, modern and Stable, with frequent "FREE" updates-upgrades and great customer service- Multicharts was the Perfect choice..

MultiCharts - Does the business.
A long time user of metastock I am appreciating
the flexibility of easylanguage.
There is a wealth of information, help and
code on the forum.
The lifetime license = free upgrades. I
have lot better software now than what I originally paid for 12 months ago.
Bar magnifier and being able to access a
bid/ask series gives you realistic results in system testing.
Auto trade I love.
The free data from IB is good enough for
me.
Help file needs to be updated .
I have no hesitation in recommending Multicharts. Keep up the good work team.

Multicharts, great software to use
Since i purchase MC, I never regret it. Working with a new software and a new environnement could be sometime arsh and difficult. Not with Multicharts.
Just last week, I had a strange problem, that i was not able to resolve. After a chat session and them connecting to my system, they found the problem, an hidden charts was blocking certain function. No limit on support or time they spent with you on your own problem.
- Great support from their technical team
- Great support from the forum participant.
- Very verstile software. Let you choose your broker and or data proovider.
- Easy to program using Easylanguage
- Free update and system maintenance. ETC.
For sure it is not given, but not being left alone when introgation or problem arise as no price for me...... :)

Perfection is near you!
When a friend of mine introduce Multicharts to me it was love at first sight.
Back then we were at version 4, and looking back now, things really progressed.
This latest version, the 7th, introduce the biggest change of them all, manual trading abilities.
It's now possible to trade from a DOM and a chart, something that, like me, discretionary traders were eager to have access to.
I cannot see myself trading without Multicharts.

Perfect for me.
Here is what I like about Multicharts.
*It never bombs on me. I am seriously in need of a computer upgrade for memory but it still runs all day without fail.
*It uses TradeStation Easylanguage but has other useful commands giving it more power. For example, they just added a command that allows a script to run on a timed basis in addition to running when ticks come in.
*It has a recalculate command that can be triggered by global variables. This allows me to send commands from an extrernal program to adjust the bollinger band for example. I can get GV info back from MultiCharts of course.
*It can use the Interactive Brokers TWS data for the charts saving the monthly data feed cost. It is very fast. It can use other feeds if you wish. External feeds can fall behind the broker feed so I prefer getting it directly from the broker. Is supports a few other brokers too.
*Excellent charting for my needs.
*Each chart can be set to any bar size ( from tick charts to 5 or 10 seconds to 1 minute and right on up to daily etc)
*My strategy involves marking waves in the market manually in a top down (parent to child) relationship then trading based upon certain rules related to this information. I mark the wave with arrows whch are put on the chart via program control and moved into position by myself. MC can find these arrows and get the information on price and any indicator at or near their location. I have effectively made use of the fact that humans can find patterns better than computers but computers can remember the rules better than humans.
*MC has a set of special Easy Language GetActive commands in addition to the TradeStation GetActive commands. These allow you to highlight any text, arrows and line on the chart and the EL code can determine what you have highlighted. This allows you to send interactive commands to the EL code to control it for various purposes. You can find examples of this in the forum by searching for "GetActive".
*The MultiCharts people really do listen to their customers. They have a new project management database to keep track of feature requests and bug fixes. You get email nofication of the progress they are making. Others can vote on your request or you can vote on any requests submitted by others. They use the votes to help decide what to work on first.
*The MC forum is great.
*I can not speak for everyone obviously but after four years I have no regrets with the purchase and I can't see myself ever considering any other program.
