Good evening, Forum:
I am stumped: no MC "out of the box" or any of my own custom indicators and signals will show on any real time chart I use. However, the same studies will be visible on any chart from my mapped ASCII data. In my attached image, there should be two indicators: a 15 bar RSI and a 15 bar moving average.
Your help is appreciated in advance...

See the top left corner? "Backfilling...".Good evening, Forum:

Your studies are waiting for the complete history before calculating.
If you turn off realtime data, the indicators will come out.

Good morning. Thanks for the solution. One think comes to mind, though: why would I turn off real time data to a real time chart? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of such a chart?
I deactivated the Interactive Brokers data feed in Quote Manager. All that did was kill the real time chart entirely. Where do I find the setting to make the necessary change?
Thanks again.

Use the ESZ6 contract now (Dec 2016) and try loading fewer days, it should work OK in real-time...

Why? ... because you were asking the question on the weekend. ie. not during trading hours.
In any case,
to use offline chart,
from MultiCharts,
go to
File > Preferences... > Data Server Mode > Offline

Re: Studies do not show on real time charts
Thank god this chat was here I just read the MC manual on studies and not once did it mention this. I guess most people will play around at the weekends also. They really should have videos showing and discussing how to set up studies and run/ tips etc
