In order to feed an Excel file with real time data from MultiCharts you should use an RTD Server on this PC. Please see the instructions below:

  1. Download the RTD Server installer:
  2. Close MultiCharts and all its applications. Run Task Manager and make sure that all MC processes are shut down.
    Note: The list of processes your MultiCharts is currently running can be extended depending on the data feed and broker you are currently using.
  3. Run RTD Server.exe that you downloaded.
  4. Run MultiCharts and create a chart with streaming real time data.
  5. Make a right click on the chart or hit F7 and select the indicator called Symbol Data. Apply it on a chart.
  6. Open up the Excel file, select Add-Ins Toolbar, then select MultiCharts:InsertSymbolData from the custom Toolbars section.
  7. Choose required data from a pop-up window and click OK.

Now real-time data should be streaming into the excel file.
