MultiCharts.NET
Futures Trading Platform
MultiCharts.NET expands traders possibilities while retaining all advantages of the flagship MultiCharts platform. MultiCharts.NET has been engineered specifically for programmers who use VB.NET and C#. The .NET framework gives access to low level infrastructure, which means even more possibilities compared to PowerLanguage.
VB.NET and C# are often preferred by professional programmers for trading strategy development. Complex scripts can be managed more easily than in some other languages through creation of classes and declaring members and methods within them.

Chart Trading
Trading from a chart is one of the most popular approaches by discretionary traders. Traders can see price movements along with your indicators, and recognize where appropriate levels will be for price action. Visual chart trading keeps pace with traders needs and they can intuitively drag and drop order onto their chart. It can always be moved to another level if desired. Entire entry and/or exit strategies, like single orders, may also be dropped onto a chart.
Apply any order or change any position quickly and easily using the chart trading panel. An intuitive interface and color-coded buttons make things easy to locate. Stop, limit, and stop limit orders are shown as small icons with appropriate names, and they can be dragged to price levels since they are price orders.
Depth of Market
This industry-standard tool shows market depth, volume profile and provides one-click trading. MultiCharts DOM displays ten price levels each way and allows entry and exit automation directly in the DOM window. See volume at different prices to analyze how supply and demand are interacting and where prices may go.
A price ladder or DOM display shows each price level in the middle column, with the number of buyers at each price level on the left, and the number of sellers at each price level on the right. See ten price levels for both asks and bids, so you know the spread of bids and offers. A deeper DOM gives a better overview of the market.
Chart Analysis
Standard chart resolutions include both time-based and count-based options. Time-based choices include anything from seconds to years. Count-based resolutions are presented by ticks, number of trades, number of contracts traded, price range, and number of changes options.
MultiCharts.NET allows traders to set the price scales to match the type of analysis. Traders may choose between linear or semi-log axes for drastic price movements; two separate vertical scales, one for indicators and one for price movements; or even no vertical axes at all.
When working with charts, the ability to quickly pinpoint the exact price is critical. The Data Window remains on the side of the screen, showing traders the current market situation.
Automated Trading
Auto trading is very convenient, because once a traders has written and tested their logic, they no longer need to constantly watch the market. Also, automated trading makes trading high-frequency strategies possible. With trading systems like these, manual order entry would result in unacceptably long delays, and it would not be possible to trade them.
A characteristic feature of MultiCharts’ automated trade execution is that orders are sent at the close of the previous bar—instead of being sent at the moment when they appear on the chart. This approach ensures that prices, at which the orders are actually filled, correspond closely to the prices on the chart.
Volume Analysis
The importance of volume analysis cannot be underestimated. Paying attention to volume can make the crucial difference in understanding how the market will move.
Volume Profile is a vital tool that shows the most traded prices for a particular time period. It plots volume as a histogram on the price bar, so you can see the levels where you need them.
Volume Delta helps traders keep track of trades that were completed on ask or bid prices in real-time. It plots a series of boxes with volume displayed inside them.
Knowing if there are more buyers or sellers at particular price can be an important indication of where the market is going. Cumulative delta plots the difference between asks and bids to give traders that info.
Entry and Exit Strategies
Sometimes there is no time to place entry or exit OCO orders by hand, so MultiCharts.NET built some automation strategies that traders can simply drag-and-drop onto you chart. Traders can drop them onto any point on the chart, or attach them to a particular order or position. Exit strategies also can be automatically applied to every new order, so there is always protection.
The Master Exit Strategy is a multi-level strategy where all components interact closely with one another. It’s an essential tool for scaling-in and scaling-out of positions and for pyramiding positions. This strategy cannot be combined with any other exit strategies because it incorporates all of them.
