How is WealthLab better? I used to deal with it hard in my time. It crashes on every run. No technical support. Now I use WealthLab only for fundamental trading, it is not good for automated trading. It would be nice if MK offered their product to American stock brokers (Schwab, Fidelity, ScottsTrade,...), but there is almost nothing here except ThinkOrSwim and TradeStation. That would attract a huge number of users. Forex is not very widespread in the U.S., and the government screws in nuts like 50:1 maximum leverage.
Read my post again carefully:
Just don't quarrel with the hot Finnish guys:) Every terminal has its advantages and disadvantages. If you want to do market research- use WealthLab, if you trade on the Russian stock market? - Use S#, you need FOREX? - Trade through MT5. Every terminal has its own specialization and you do not need to get involved in the market, where someone else is better.
That it is glitchy and unstable and not suitable for real trading I am not arguing. But as a research platform it is the best of its kind. As an example, the multi-page argument about MT5's multi-currency synchronisation problems, in WealthLab, is solved in one line:
Everything. The RTS history is fully synchronised with the current chart. Bars are aligned and all voids are correctly filled.It still has many non-trivial problems that are solved with a single line of code. And rightly so. A researcher should not be distracted by the technical implementation of an idea.
How is WealthLab better? I've been working hard on it in my time. It breaks down on every run. There is no technical support. Now I use WealthLab only for fundamental screen, but it is not good at all for automatic trading. It would be nice if MK offered their product to American stock brokers (Schwab, Fidelity, ScottsTrade,...), but there is almost nothing here except ThinkOrSwim and TradeStation. That would attract a huge number of users. Forex is not very widespread in the U.S., and the government screws in nuts like 50:1 maximum leverage.
Possibly, but you have to correct history.
One thing I don't understand. Why do they see closing prices as a way out.
I just don't understand one thing. Why do they consider closing prices to be an exit point? The bar is closed at the end of the interval, while the last tick can be at the beginning of this interval or at its opening. For example, a bar opened at 15:30, closed at 16:00 and its last tick was at 15:31. What difference does it make whether it was the opening or the closing? It will be of no use anyway. Only with frequent gaps maybe...
It's as simple as that.
A 16:00:00 bar may open at 16:00:01 on one instrument and at 16:00:50 on another.
In doing so, the 15:59:00:00 bar will close at exactly 16:00:00 on all instruments (or, well, 1 millisecond earlier).
That is, if there were processing of bar closing (in fact, bar opening on any of the instruments, or just - the first second of the next interval), then the history would be synchronized (at least on the outermost bar).
But now a bar appears on one of the instruments, and its index = 0, and its time = 16:00. And on the other instrument the bar with index 0 may have the time 15:59.
This seems to be the case.
