Understanding Realtime-history matching option
Realtime-history matching option allows MultiCharts to synchronize the calculation of studies based on several data series. When using several data series calculation on historical data may differ from real-time calculation Realtime-history matching option makes historical calculation results closer to real-time.
When Realtime-history matching option is enabled the signal/indicator is calculated on the latest bar of the main data series and on the currently completed bar of the auxiliary data series. If the auxiliary data series stops updating, the final calculation will be made on the main data series bar that was received immediately after the latest bar of the auxiliary data series. In this case no further calculation will be performed.
When Realtime-history matching option is disabled the signal/indicator is calculated on the basis of the main data series latest bar and current (completed or not) bar of the auxiliary data series. If the auxiliary data series stops updating, the calculation will continue on the basis of the latest bar of the main data series and the open bar of the auxiliary data series.

Enabling/disabling the Realtime-History Matching option for indicators
To enable/disable the Realtime-History Matching option:
- Insert an Indicator.
To learn more see Inserting Studies section. - Open the Format Indicator window.To open the Format Indicator window, position the mouse pointer over the indicator; double-click once the Pointer changes into a Hand .
The Format Indicator window can also be opened by one of the following methods:
- Position the mouse pointer over an indicator; once the Pointer changes into a Hand , right-click and then click Format Indicator Name

Note: The Format Indicator window for the indicator being inserted will open automatically if the Format check box in the Insert Study window is checked. - Click the Format button.
- Select the Properties tab.
- In the Advanced section, check/uncheck the Realtime-History Matching checkbox.
Enabling/disabling the Realtime-History Matching option for signals
To enable/disable the Realtime-History Matching option for signals:
- Insert a signal.
To learn more see Inserting Studies section. - Open the Format Objects window.To open the Format Objects window, right-click on an empty area of the chart and then click Format Signals.
The Format Objects window can also be opened by one of the following methods:
- Select Format in the main menu and click Signal.
- Double-click any one of the signal's labels on the chart.
- Position the mouse pointer over any one of the signal's labels on the chart; once the Pointer changes into a Hand , right-click the label and then click Format Signals. - Select the Signals tab.
- Click Properties to open the Strategy Properties window.
- Select the Backtesting tab.
