When editing code, in the past when you selected an auto suggested function or variable name, unless you had a space between the next word MC would over write that word.
if I had a statement like:
if condition1 = true then .....
and edited it to add in an addtional condition:
if condition1 = true and condition2 = true then .....
very often the "then" would be overwritten with "condition2" unless you were very careful on how you insert the new condition.
One of the things I like the most is how you can manipulate pending orders, like pending breakout trades or pending target/stop from a pending buy stop or sell stop before it gets triggered. Sierra does this, too, but Ninja doesn't and it always aggravated me to no end.
Sorry, never messed with it beyond the standard 'xx' tick target/stop, which is good enough for me - after which I move them manually immediately after placing the order, even while it is still pending.
Go to MultiCharts live chat support tomorrow during trading hours and they can log on to your computer while you reproduce the issue.
I noticed on the press release that MC 7 now offers "stop limit orders."
All I have to say to that is amen.
Anyone who's ever traded for real....EVER, would know that this is a desirable feature for just about any trader.
What use is a "stop order" when executing a trailing stop? It makes NO SENSE to me.
On TS, the stop orders are "at or worse" for exits. Stop orders on TS are only useful for entries (where the convention is "at or better").....and I seriously wonder how many people use stop orders for entries....seriously.
