MetaStock

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.

To connect MultiCharts to Metastock data files, it is necessary to have their database files on the computer.
Limitation: 65000 bars per symbol limitation
