Paintbars and Custom Indicators

[QT_Fan]

Hi Jerry and Mike

 

Saw a post that Paintbars and custom indicators would be released soon in maybe a production version.

 

Are you looking to release a beta version with both in, as the feedback from users would be very useful for MT's development. Depending on how powerful the code is it could really put MT on the map, I currently do all kinds of workarounds to Auto-trade with QT and internal MT code would be very useful.  So if you want some field testing done before you release, please sign me up.

 

Also when you tell me NO  could you let me know what the MT symbol for the FTSE100 contract is, (Symbol Z) current month IB symbol ZZ5, trades on ICEEU.  

 

To offer a bug report as a token of my gratitude, circles are missing on the "Clear annotations" button in the charts.

 

With Best Regards

Hopefully soon to be MT Fan !

Will ATS be realesed with paintbar and custom indicators?

[gidielle]

I suggest you to plan ATS directly in MT, so to give users a complete trading software, for me, if I can create my ATS easly with MT+API is equal.

 

I remember also with QT you didn't want to add ATS, ther'is a particular matter?

 

thx

[Jerry Medved]

the FTSE100 contract using standard MT notation would be @ZZ15:ICEEU

 

Clear circles will be added in the next build

 

Paintbars and custom indicators - that will be added after production release. The current version though is basically production level. The website is what is missing .  We will definitely go through a bunch of beta versions when we do add that functionality

[Jerry Medved]

We don't plan to do automated trading directly in MT at this time, though we do plan to have an API that can be used for it by those that wish to program their own stuff.

[gidielle]

ok, but will the API be simple to use?

[Jerry Medved]

Obviously our goal is not to make it as complicated as possible

[gidielle]

an API as Bracket Trader?

[Jerry Medved]

Not familiar with Bracket Trader API and in general, way way too early to be able to tell you anything about it

[Jerry Medved]

ATS is a large project in and of itself. Adds a lot of complexity and liability. 

[gidielle]

ok.

I believed once created alerts, custom indicator and paintbar, ATS was done.

[gidielle]

MT + Bracket Trader would let to create ATS very easly: http://www.bracket-trader.com/ATS/ATS-Format.html

[Jerry Medved]

I saved the link and the request for future features

[gidielle]

perfect

thx
