a dummy data source that we can use to test on weekends...

"Assuming you are just testing code, try using the symbol '== cpu' which is the over all CPU usage for your PC. Run something in the background to generate a CPU usage chart. "

In this thread:TS use symbol '== cpu' as a dummy data source to test in real time mode.

Can we apply it in Multicharts ? and How to ?

MC should implement TS Diagnostic Symbols == BYT , == CPA, == CPU, == QUO, == TIK

Meanwhile, unlike TS, MC could utilize third party data more readily and you can try broker simulator account and demos such as the IB TWS demos:
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/pa ... p_demo.php
Live Trader Workstation Demos

The Trader Workstation (TWS) is our full-featured java-based trading and order entry application. The TWS demo mirrors the actual TWS in both form and function except market data is simulated based on the previous week's ticks and orders are not actually executed and cleared. However, TWS functionality will be identical to the actual application.

The IB TWS demo is available from 00:20 - 23:50, seven days a week. If you experience technical difficulties with the demo system please email tac@interactivebrokers.com.
