There are plenty of ways to receive data in MultiCharts, however each way treats received data differently. The only thing in common is that no data can be received (except for [[Importing_Data#Importing_ASCII_data|ASCII Import, see]]) if Multichart's [[Preferences#Data_server_mode|Offline Mode ]] is selected.<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Data that was received in MultiCharts is stored in a [[Data_Cache|cache ]] during MC's working session. Once the software ('''tsserver.exe''', see [[MultiCharts Processes]]) is shutdown, data is saved into the MultiCharts database. </div>

<b><font color="green">V</font><font color="red">*!</font></b> - The GAIN Capital (ex. Open E Cry ) data source provides real-time minute data that is stored in a database. It is important to know that if charts only with minute data from Open E Cry GAIN Capital are plotted in MultiCharts, tick data is not stored locally.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Take into account that the '''Download Missing Historical Data''' checkbox affects the way MultiCharts treats received real-time data for Chart and Market Scanner windows. </div>
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note 2''': If a data vendor does not provide historical Ask/Bid data, than Ask/Bid data received in real-time is recorded in the MultiCharts database. </div>
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note 3''': There is an option to '''save real-time minute bars to the database''' in the [[Preferences]]. </div>
