Free Quotes data feed is configured correctly by default and one can plot a chart using a number of prebuilt symbols from Free Quotes. That is free end-of-day historical daily bars coming from Yahoo, Google and MSN. Only Stocks and Indexes are available from this data source in MultiCharts.
To set up Free Quotes data feed connection
- In the Quote Manager main menu select Tools and then click Data Sources, find Free Quotes in the list of all supported data vendors and click the Settings button. The Free Quotes Data Feed Configuration window is opened.
- In the opened up window:
- One can check/uncheck Yahoo, Google and MSN servers to receive data from.
- One can move Yahoo, Google and MSN servers by selecting any of them and clicking the Up and Down buttons to change the priority of receiving data.
- One can disable Yahoo, Google and MSN servers by selecting any of them clicking the Disable button.
- One can edit number and timeout of attempts to request data from Yahoo, Google and MSN servers by editing Retry and Timeout columns for corresponding server.
To add an instrument manually, see Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List.
