Re: TS as MC Data Provider

This is interesting because my experience has been quite different. I have had many problems with gaps in the data when using TS data. This is covered in at least one thread recently: https://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11346&hilit=missing+data Henry actually recommended that ...

Re: Bars Back Question

Thank you for the explanation. Although, I don't like the answer. Isn't there some logic MC can add to avoid overloading the data feed, rather than just setting this arbirary limit?

Re: MULTICHARTS 8.5 BETA 1 – WHAT’S NEW

I did send the report.

I just experienced a total MC freeze and had to force a shut down. I had 5 workspaces open each WS contained 4 charts all with autotrading turned on. This is a common set up for me and until 8.5, I never had a freeze, or crash for that matter.

Re: Slow Backfilling [SOLVED]

Henry,

Is there a way to then save the historic data so on subsequent re-openings of the charts in MC that it will be quicker. Even though your suggestion allowed the backfill to speed up, it is still taking 20 minutes to load 6 equity charts, which still seems very long to me.

Thanks.
