Complete and Informative Charting

To make the right choice it is equally important to see the small details and the big picture. Our charting is one of the best in the industry, giving you instant access to all of the information that you need.

Multi time frame analysis, fast response time, complete interactivity with everything you see—all at your fingertips.

20 + Data Feeds and 10 + Brokers

We feel that you should have the freedom of choice, and that’s why we have added support for over 20 different data feeds and 10 brokers to MultiCharts.

Competition is good, that’s why you can pick the providers that suit you best, and change them at any time. No strings attached.

Dynamic Portfolio Backtesting

Proper backtesting helps you determine if your strategies will make or lose money.

Dynamic portfolio backtesting is capable of applying your strategy to many symbols on a bar-by-bar basis, determining which trade is the optimal one at any given time. It can be an invaluable tool during technical analysis and strategy development.

EasyLanguage Support

EasyLanguage has been in development for over 20 years, so it has one of the largest libraries of trading ideas already implemented.

It is so useful to traders, it is considered the industry-standard programming language. In addition to hundreds of studies that come with MultiCharts, you can create your own, change existing ones or import any EL code that you can find.

Interactive Performance Reporting

It is very important to accurately see how you are doing. The performance report has more than 200 performance measures, including various metrics, ratios, and interactive performance charts. The report can also monitor real-time trading, since it recalculates on every new order that has been placed.

Genetic Strategy Optimization

Some traders find optimization very useful, because it saves a lot of time searching for optimal inputs for a particular strategy.

Genetic optimization employs a complex algorithm that tests possible inputs in a way that mimics biological evolution. This approach is a lot faster than trying every possible combination, and it also helps avoid outliers and curve-fitting.

Scan the Market

When you are looking for opportunities, the Market Scanner can be an invaluable tool.

You can instantly sort up to 5000 instruments to find ones that meet a certain criteria, apply indicators to alert yourself when a condition occurs, and open charts of the necessary symbols for a more detailed look.

Replay Market Data

Trading the markets is all about predicting where the price will go next. A good way to practice is to apply your price-predicting skills to historical data.

Market Data Replay allows you start playback at any point in the past, speed up or slow down replay speed, and even playback several instruments at once.

Hundreds of Strategies and Indicators

We have collected the most popular indicators and strategies we could find, and included them in the platform for free, so you don’t have to look for them.

All you need to do is right-click on the chart, and they are at your fingertips. Remember, you can always add more, or write your own in addition to existing ones.

Why MultiCharts?

A key feature of MultiCharts is the compatibility with industry-standard TradeStation® EasyLanguage®. EasyLanguage® studies can be customized, optimized, and back-tested prior to implementing them on the real market.

MultiCharts includes very powerful and flexible charting that handles multi-symbol and multi-timeframe charts, and works with most leading streaming data vendors. Time-based and Count-based, as well as Bid, Ask, or Trade-based data series can be mixed within the same chart.

- Flexible data management system
- Automated trading via low-cost Interactive Brokers
- Multiple data feeds
Multiple Symbols & Timeframes , from Different Data Sources, in the Same Chart
MultiCharts features the ability to plot, in the same chart window, several dissimilar data series. The data series can be of different symbols, with different timeframes, and from different data feeds, all at once. Time-based and Count-based, as well as Bid, Ask, or Trade - based data series can be mixed within the same chart. For example, you can mix a 1-minute and a 5-minute chart, or plot a 5000-tick, a 5-point, and a 1-second chart with precise synchronization. This feature is essential for multiple timeframe, correlation, or inter-market analysis, allowing custom studies to be based on several different data series at once.
Customization & Flexibility
Nearly every visual aspect of the chart's appearance can be customized: axes, background, grid, status line, and more. This provides for unmatched flexibility in presenting the data. Here is a partial list of the customization options:
• The overall appearance of the chart, the color and width of every chart component
• Bar spacing, zoom, top and bottom margins, as well as the margin on the right edge of the chart
• Chart compression, locating all of the data, even a million bars, within one screen
• Background and grid line color
• Various dynamic grid styles: point, solid, horizontal, dotted, or detailed dotted grids
• Vertical axes on both sides, i.e. an indicator scale on the left and a price scale on the right, or no vertical axes at all
• Linear or semi-log, for drastic price movements, axes
• Visual order of indicators and price series
• Font and style of axes labels
• Last price marker on or off
• Display or hide session breaks
• Display or hide empty periods
• Various cursor styles, including global cursor, and a floating hint window to help pinpoint the exact price and time values
• Custom status line, selecting chart settings and values to be displayed
• Enable, disable, or auto-hide the title and scroll bars
• Maximize SubCharts with a single click
• SubChart divider lines on or off, divider line style
Interactivity
An innovative feature of MultiCharts, setting it apart from conventional charting software, is the object-oriented user interface. This translates into intuitive, easy-to-use application, and dramatically reduces the learning curve. To interact with any object, such as a data series, a price scale, or a chart background, simply click on it. The appropriate menu will appear, giving you the choice of only the relevant options. There is no need to spend time going through a complex menu structure - you are only one click away from anything you want to do. To move an object, such as a toolbar or a data series, simply "grab" it with the mouse and drag it to a new position. A scale can be stretched or compressed with just a "click and drag" of the mouse. Setting parameters and maneuvering objects has never been easier or more efficient.
Extensive Selection of Chart Types & Intervals
An extensive selection of conventional chart types is offered: candlestick, bar, line, dot, histograms, invisible bars, and so on. A Volume Profile chart can reveal information not obvious from standard volume data charts.

Supported chart resolutions include time-based (second, minute, hour, day, week, etc.) and count-based (tick, number of trades, number of contracts, or price range). Custom resolutions, such as 64 ticks, can easily be set within each category.
Innovative Features
A number of innovative features form a unique combination of possibilities not found in any other product on the market.

Symbol & Interval Linking
Symbol and Interval Linking saves time and makes work more convenient. This featuremakes it possible to link charts in groups according to symbol name or interval (resolution). Each group is identified by one of the 14 different colors. When a symbol or the resolution is changed for any one chart of the group, the changes will automatically be applied to the rest of the linked charts. Unique to MultiCharts is the ability to link not only different Chart Windows, but SubCharts within the same window as well.
Load State Gauge
Load State Gauge lets you be sure that the data you are looking at is the real-time data. If system resources are insufficient to process all of the streaming data in real time, the Gauge becomes red and display the number of quotes in the queue and the lag in seconds.
Performance & Scalability
MultiCharts software architecture is based on the multithreaded programming model that implies scalability and utilizes hardware resources to the fullest possible extent. By running parallel tasks on each processor, multithreading takes advantage of multi-core CPU technologies and dramatically improves the system performance. The rapid advances in multi-core technologies will boost MultiCharts performance even more in the near future. MultiCharts technology is also multiple-monitor friendly, and allows several instances of the application to be used on the same system simultaneously.
