Hi.
I've been trying to access my metastock data files using MC in offline mode but every time I've tried it I've received a NO DATA warning.
Does this mean that the only way to access this data is with MC in online mode and with the Download missing historical data selected?
This restricts the trader ability to test his ideas during those days or hours that he is out, away from his internet connection.
Regards,
Fernando

Hi arnie,
In the offline mode, MultiCharts can only access what is there in its own database. MetaStock files are not part of that database. Therefore, you need to have 'online' and 'download missing historical data' chosen if you want to work with MetaStock files. However, since those files are located on your computer and need not be accessed through the internet, you will still be able to use MC with those files when you have no internet connection.
