“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.”
“The application is overall reliable as a free software, good drawing functions on the chart, but the CQG data I use with it has problems every 2-3 months, and when there is problem, you CANNOT TRADE. I was usually the first to call AMP and AMP rep. would always say, no sir, all our thousands of users is fine, and wait a few minutes, they will acknowledge there is a problem.”
“The big issure is the futures are "rigged" to blow you up no matter what happens. When the market delclines MULTI+CHARTS locks up and you lose all access to data until the billionaires are done doing their "thing". Then when the data gets turned on they go back to blowing up smaller accounts and the algos go to work constantly in pursuit of taking every last dime you have.
On the positive side the moving averages and charts are fine.....if only I was a billionaire I could kill it as I have no problem making hundreds of millions of dollars a day on paper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Initially I didn't realise the full potential of the platform. But as I dug deep, Multicharts is by far the best platform I have ever used. 3+ years of using it, can't go back to any other platform. Thanks AMP team for offering Multicharts”
