It is my aim to pyramid Silver at MT-Brokers but wish to keep individual control of all trades .
If MC would connect Read/Write with MT4īs including its MagicNumber we (I) would have a great soltution to buildt pyramids and control each Order one/one .
Also I wrote mailrequest to MC on this feature but was informed that "do not plan" and I could use external DLL from Web . I am not clever enough to use and connect "external DLL" not to speak of coding such "piece of code"
Trading: Shares & ETF at the US and EU , some MNQ & MES

The system I intend to trade is a long duration Martingale or inverse Martinggale using Silver CFD . It requires to handle each entry as one individual trade and all parameters being managed individually (Stoploss, TSL and other) . Ie , one order initially might be opened using a trading approach but once duration of trade increases its parametersetting (TSL) will change away from a trading approach towards an investmentapproach . At the same time , new orders could be entered to the market by the trading system and again trading rules will be applied when managing this new entry .
I would like to use EL for the system (thatīs why I had bought MC) and have the features of ordermanagment, ordersync , ordermaintenance , orderhistory and so forth being performed by Metatrader and the CFD-Broker which provides me the service (Silver-CFD and connction to MT4) . This as I cannot see how to do this or similar with MC .
So this request having the following concept in mind : MT4 would send Ticks and current-state-of-orders to MC , MC would analyse and decide on new Sl-levels , Entries , Exits and instruct MT4 to adjust "specific order XYZ to a TSL of -15 PIP " and " Specific order ABC to a TSL of -200 PIP" .
There would be alternatives , such as trading SLV @ ARCA with IB-account . But I could not overcome all the hurdles I am facing in re to the ordermanagment as described above .
MultiCharts Project Management - Issue MC-320 - Changing candle / bar width independently of spacing
"When changing candle spacing on the chart, MC automatically adjusts the bar or candle width so as to display them in such a way that they are neither too close nor too far away. The problem is, however, that the user cannot then further enhance the display by manually adjusting the width of the bars. I would like to control not only how many bars show on my screen, but then how close those bars can be to each other."
This one juste drives me crazy I loveMultiCharts, but I am a discretionary visual (and aspiring ) trader. I need to be able to adjust the width of the candle and the space between them. Just due to that, as I do not need any indicator (except an EMA), I am seriously considering using another platform than Multicharts for trading, for instance the platform of the data feed or of the broker. They allow this simple feature (changing the space between the candles).
MultiCharts Project Management - Issue "MC-773 - price multiplier for symbol mapping (eSignal and IB) to allow trading
On several instruments, prices given by data feed eSignal are 100 times different than prices given by broker Interactive Brokers. The proposed feature is the possibility to apply a price multiplier when adding or mapping symbols between data feed and broker. It would allow to trade with IB when reading prices from eSignal.
Exemples of instruments, with recent prices:
Cotton @ ICU (NYBOT)
eSignal : CT #F, 86.61
IB : CT H2, 0.8661"
Without this problem solved, it is simply impossible to use Multicharts together with data feed eSignal and broker IB to trade some instruments.
