Trading Platform: MultiCharts

CodeForTraders is very pleased to be able to introduce you to and offer you directly the latest and greatest MultiCharts platform.

What It Is

MultiCharts is an advanced multi-data-provider, multi-broker software platform for market research, analysis, visualization, and trading.

Its built-in scripting language, PowerLanguage, is compatible with legacy code written in TradeStation’s EasyLanguage. This means a couple of decades worth of publicly available code can be loaded and run in MultiCharts, and operated using the data provider and broker of your choice.

MultiCharts is not only a viable alternative to TradeStation, it is an excellent companion program.  If you wish, you can drive it with your existing TS data feed, and by deploying it, you gain the ability to access to multiple brokers - a key redundancy for those who are trading as a business.  Also "in the box":  Portfolio Analysis - allowing more powerful analyses than ever with your current code!

What You Get

MultiCharts is actually a suite of applications that work together to create the platform as a whole.

The feature set is extensive.  Below is a partial list, broken into several categories, with selected highlights:

Data Features

At this writing, MultiCharts offers built-in support for 20 data providers and 7 brokers.

Automated ASCII/TXT/CSV file recognition
Ability to use several data providers at the same time, even within the same chart
Ability to combine time-based and tick-based resolutions within the same chart



Automated chart updating when plotting data from a file. No need to import new data every time the source file is updated
Merging different data providers for history and real-time to plot a chart

Example:

Collecting data for multiple symbols without plotting charts
Charts based on constant volume bars (extra volume is carried over to the next bar)
Charts based on constant range bars
Charts based on seconds   (a long-standing wish, realized!)
Charts based on tick bars (up to 1,000,000 ticks per bar)
Charts based on volume bars (up to 2,000,000,000 contracts per bar)
Charts based on quarter bars
Charts based on year bars

MultiCharts is also compatible with a great many advanced 3rd-party products, including BTWFMgr, which offers extremely sophisticated Walk-Forward Analysis (WFA) capabilities.  The multicore-capableMultiCharts platform is the fastest way currently available to generate initial optimizer output trade data for this advanced WFA.

What It Looks Like

The charts, of course, can look practically any way you want them to.  Here are some possibilities:

As a complement to charting, MultiCharts provides the Real-Time Market Scanner, which allows you to flexibly create grid displays to find current market opportunities, up to the limits imposed by your data provider.

Visualizing optimization results could hardly be easier:

Innovations

MultiCharts brings new capability to old code, and new possibilities for new code because of the overall speed of the platform.

MultiCharts brings integrated portfolio analysis to your current library of EasyLanguage strategies. 

MultiCharts bring world-wide market access for legacy EasyLanguage code by allowing you to choose the data and brokerage service providers that best meet your needs.

This latter could only previously be obtained via expensive monthly subscriptions to middleware.  The cost, and the extra technical and operating complexity of the middleware were not to be desired.  Now with MultiCharts, traders can use leverage their codebase in markets all over the world, at a reasonable "lifetime license" cost, and without the complexities and hassle of middleware.

What It Costs

Only $1497 for a Lifetime License. Consider it $100/mo for 15 months, then it's yours to leverage at no additional cost thereafter.
