Is MultiCharts able to use old-style binary MetaStock data?

Postby locupleto » 12 Nov 2014

Hi, I am very interested in upgrading from TS 2000i to MultiCharts but I need to know if the MetaStock format that my data provider use is compatible with MultiCharts. I've enclosed a sample if someone with MultiCharts could please verify for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Urban

Hello locupleto,

I am not sure if those files are of the supported format, but it looks like they should be working if you configure MetaStock source in QuoteManager and add symbols through symbol lookup.

Ok, thank you for your answer. However since I don't yet own a copy of MultiCharts myself yet I was kind of hoping that someone could make a quick test and verifiy this on my behalf before I buy a license myself.

I tried on my end and there are symbols in the files those MC can read. I recommend you to sign up for a free 30 day (fully functional trial): https://www.multicharts.com/free-trading-software/
