“Overall good trading experience with amp free multi charts.
What I like the most is the possibility to drag and drop the orders. It saves me critical seconds during trading.
What I don't like is that there is no risk/reward tool which is, as I see in other trading platforms, very useful”
“Very easy transition from TradeStation (starting with TradeStation back in 1993).
In fact, it looks like the installation directory \TS Support\ was a reference to solving TS' many problems. That is very slick and I fully understand it and appreciate it.
I prefer MC to TS in every respect.
C# works fine for indicators. I just use a C# programmer instead of an Easy Language programmer.
On-chart and side-panel trading work great.
I wish there was an email address or web page to make suggestions for minor stuff for MultiCharts .NET free edition.
AMP MultiCharts .NET Free Edition's basics are nicely supported by AMP but on one occasion I had a scaling problem on a stock indicator and two different AMP tech support couldn't fix it. I figured it out on my own.
This isn't a jab at MC, but Mark Jurik's indicators only work on the the non-free version of MC. And Mark is retired, so he won't be adding any platforms in the future.”
“Love the platform. The only biggest thing it is missing is a priceline that moves with price across the entire chart(s) . . . Wish that was built in.”
“I had previously used the paid non-.NET version of Multicharts, and like the look and feel of the software environment. It is very flexible and has many, many options to create the work environment you want using the extensive selection of charts and entry screens, as well as a very wide array of analysis tools.
Previously, in an application I wrote, I had an issue with a scope bug that I could not resolve when using the paid non-.NET version. Using the .NET version, requiring a re-write of the code resolved this issue. Note that the .NET version requires using C# or VB. I do not know VB, but am familiar with C-like languages, and now use C# in Multicharts for custom work. C# is very verbose and strongly typed, so just testing out an idea is more of a challenge than using the simple paid non-.NET version, but my belief is the code I produce in C# is more reliable.
If you are looking for a great discount futures broker and the best software available (FOR FREE), there is no better solution than AMP Futures.”
“Great tool for algo trading and backtesting. The only bad thing might be that it might be outdate with the free version being 12 and current multichart version being 15.”
