<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note:''' Metastock data will be supported in MultiCharts only with Metastock application prior to '''12 version'''.
MultiCharts can read Metastock historical data if it is stored in .dat file and there is a Master and/or EMaster file next to .dat files in the same folder.
There's also a limitation of 65000 records per file.</div>
<br>
To connect MultiCharts to Metastock data files, it is necessary to have their database files on the computer.
<br>
To set up Metastock data feed connection:
:# In the '''QuoteManager''' main menu select '''Tools''' and then click '''Data Sources''' window. Select '''Metastock''' in the list of all supported data vendors and click the '''Settings''' button.
:# In the opened up window locate the path to '''Metastock files''' by clicking the '''Add…''' button. You can also delete the location by clicking the '''Delete''' button. '''Up''' and '''Down''' buttons can be used to change the priority of requests to the file locations.
:# Specify the '''time zone''' of data in Metastock files.
:# There are 2 options for Resolution Detection:
::* '''Automatic'''.
::* '''Manual'''.<br>One can specify the resolution types in the files to build greater resolutions in MultiCharts from them: minute and daily bars.
<br>
To add an instrument manually or from data source, see [[Data_Sources_Overview#Adding_Symbol.28s.29_to_Symbol_List|Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List]].
<br><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Note:''' By default the instruments are added under the Stock category, UNDEF exchange. You can change the exchange and instrument’s description once the symbol is added. If you want the symbol to be added under a different category you will need to add it manually.</div>
