MultiCharts .NET Starter Edition is a free version of our award-winning trading software. It was designed for beginner traders to ease the burden of buying expensive software when you are just starting out. Starter Edition offers all features of MultiCharts .NET (best charting in the industry, advanced strategy development capabilities in C# and Visual Basic, integration with Visual Studio, high-precision backtesting , fast optimization, and LIVE TRADING capabilities both manually and automated), but you can only load any two symbols into the platform. This is currently the best software available for free to traders in the market. You can keep using the software for as long as you wish, and give it to friends as well.

Certain specific question should be asked on MC forum since many of them might be already answered and if not, the staff and other users will be there to help.
MC staff does not monitor this forum.
Also, any problem you have you can go to the live chat where they connect to your PC and see what the problem is.
Regarding your
CQG question, see it here.

Thanks, I already read that and look at the forum but not much info on the starter edition. The connection procedure should be the same but you never know.

Quoting
We had another free product last year called
MultiCharts Discretionary Trader, which was discontinued after a year of existence because we felt it wasn’t enough for traders. We underestimated the amount of custom analytics that people were using, and MCDT never took off because you couldn’t create anything custom. We did some more brainstorming and came up with a new way of serving small cap investors with a professional platform – MC .NET Starter Edition where you can create complex scripts in C# and Visual Basic (even using Visual Studio).
Quoting
This platform is here to stay, forever. It’s completely free, so download away and start charting, analyzing, sharing and even trading. Give it to all your friends, colleagues, bosses and family, maybe even your dog or cat . Upload it to to any site, blog, Twitter and anywhere you like – spread the goodness around! The more people use MC .NET Starter Edition, the larger the community will be, and you can talk to more and more traders, and have more developers on hand.

I'm confused about the limitation on two securities at the same time.
Can one still do portfolio
backtesting with such a limitation ?
Edit - two securities at a time applies so the answer is you can only
backtest two at a time
MultiCharts .NET Starter Edition you can have only 2 symbols in the database at the same time." Which means at any time you can only chart, backtest or trade on those two symbols. If you want to chart a third symbol, you will have to delete one of the existing two first in your database I suppose.

Only
volume profile indicators.
They don't have market profile but I advise all interested in this to request them such tools.
The more requesting it the easiest it will be for them to build it.

For what I see here, the SE QuoteManager is identical to the standard version. The Data Sources settings are all identical so if a setting is working on the standard version it will work on the SE version.
Multicharts and it was easy to set up but I just remember back then I was still using ZenFire.CQG just to try MC and it's working now.

One more thing, I read on MC website that they added a simulator engine for ZenFire some time ago, did not find anything about CGQ so, I assume it does not have one right? I can't see it on mine but since I have a sim account... It could be disabled.

MarkG,
that's correct. I think when MC was offered via
Interactive Brokers (either for free or for a monthly fee of 39$ depending on your needs) it was discontinued.

MC .NET Starter Edition was discontinued although one could say that it's now available through Interactive Brokers.
