It's a "Special Edition", and I'm not sure how it differs from the full edition, if at all.
Does anyone know if it's the same as the free edition offered by AMP ?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
As far as I know, there's only one "Special Edition", and that's distributed by AMP and brokers clearing through AMP. Optimus ( @mattz ) also offers this version.
MultiCharts .NET Special Edition differs from the regular MultiCharts .NET edition with the data feed capabilities: with MultiCharts .NET Special Edition you only have a few data feeds to choose from. Other than that, there are no differences.
Do note however that the "Special Edition" is the .NET version; EasyLanguage/PowerLanguage scripts cannot be coded nor run in it. You'll need to program your indicators and strategies in C# or Visual Basic with MultiCharts .NET Special Edition.
This begs the questions: Why limited? What are the data feeds it has access to? What do these limited data feeds cover? It's hard to believe no one asked before me so I am asking now since someone else has got to want to know. Also if other brokers are marketing a MultiCharts FREE edition what are the differences between them. Please anyone who knows please chime in. In the meantime I guess I will take the initiative and start my inquiry.
The broker is likely paying for the platform and therefore has no incentive to make the platform compatible with datafeeds he doesn't support or other brokers. Which perfectly makes sense in my opinion.
For the AMP version it's TT, Rithmic and CQG as far as I am aware and they cover futures. What exactly is provided is probably something the broker can tell you exactly.
I suspected as much...but did not want to assume anything being new to futures trading. I am really liking futures.io forum. The members are active and comment promptly.
