provide real-time only, data feeds that provide both history and real-time and data feeds that provide history only.
See the [[:Category:Built-in_Data_Sources|Built-In Data Sourcestable ]] table for more detailed information on data feeds.
The program's behavior depending on the data feed type is described below:
All other resolutions are generated from stored data. I.e. if we need a 100 tick chart, the program automatically builds it from existing ticks. If a 2 minute chart is required, the program builds it from 1 minute data. In case of gaps in data 1 tick, 1 minute or 1 day must be imported correspondingly.
See the [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /107_Data_Import.html name=""; Importing_Data|Importing Data]] section for more detailed information.
== Data feed provides both history and real-time ==
Most professional data vendors as well as a number of advanced brokers provide history data for the ultimate trader convenience.
The amount and quality of data provided varies from vendor to vendor, though; see the [[:Category:Built-in_Data_Sources|Datafeeds listBuilt-In Data Sources table ]] for a general overview of history data feeds.
MultiCharts demonstrates the best performance with such data vendors, freeing the user from the need to download missing data manually.
