Data Sources Overview

Understanding Data Sources

MultiCharts is a trading platform, not a data source itself.

However, it includes a built-in Market Data Sim data source that allows you to download sample data for simulated trading from our servers.

Additionally, there are several data feeds available that do not require credentials, such as Free Quotes (Yahoo Finance end-of-day data) and various crypto feeds: Binance, Bitfinex, BitMEX, ByBit, Deribit, Kraken, and Poloniex.

For access to other types of data, you can get an account with a supported data source and set up a connection in QuoteManager.

Operating Data Sources

In QuoteManager → Tools → Data Sources you can configure data source connections as well as activate/deactivate them.

Activating and Deactivating Data Sources

Data sources can be activated and deactivated.

Only the activated ones will be displayed on your Data Sources list when adding symbols or creating charts.

1. Open QuoteManager.

3. Select the data source and click Activate or Deactivate.
