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

A quote from their support: "In 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.

It worked great with IB , thanks for the information

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.

is there any specific PM so that I can vote?

by the way does MC have paper trading capabilities like NT? I can't seem to find a way to add commission to live/papertrade

they really need to have better documentation

All market profile requests on PM have been signed as Implemented since they considered the study that a user wrote and it's now available in the standard version but which is far from being useful.

I've just created one:

MultiCharts Project Management - Issue MC-1307 - Real Market Profile charts

There's no paper trading capabilities on MC but that tool, according to a thread on the forum, is being developed with no ETA though.

The way the regular MC works is no different from the .NET.
The manual for the regular version should be the same for the .NET.
What is lacking in .NET is a manual for the libraries and stuff for programmers. Everything else, menus, options and the like you will find on the regular manual.

Have you checked their Wiki

MultiCharts

The entire manual is there.

In terms of commissions... are you talking about strategies?
I'm really not the best person to talk about automatic strategies but on the top left chart you have an option for the strategies properties where you set the commissions.

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. You must be missing some setting there.

Thanks for the help, it was my fault, for CGQ you need new login details, about 2 years ago I tried Multicharts and it was easy to set up but I just remember back then I was still using ZenFire.

I asked for a demo 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.

MC doesn't have any simulator engine.
According to one of the staff on the forum, they are working on one but there's no ETA for it.

Ok, thanks.

I found this a while ago:

MULTICHARTS 7.2 [AUTOLINK]BETA[/AUTOLINK] ? WHAT?S NEW [AUTOLINK]MultiCharts[/AUTOLINK] Blog

Was wondering if that was only on the beta version or they actually got that to work on the final version.

Good question.
I advise you to contact them and request such information.

Well done, now the competition will be very tough, I do not know how other platforms will survive when there is a free alternative ;-)))))))))))

(...) they really need to have better documentation

The new documentation can be found here. Just saying in case you, or someone else in this thread, hadn't seen it yet.
