MultiCharts works with many data vendors and brokers, so it is important that the software is capable to work with different data. In some cases the price formats of data on the same symbol that is provied by 2 separate sources may differ and this can cause some issues.
Example: Trading Technologies dooesn't provide historical data into MultiCharts due to the nature of its implementation in the software. In this case if a customer requires historical backfill, he or she may be interested to use Merge function (see Merging Data Sources into a Single Chart ). It may be problematic, since the price format of most data sources for ES symbol has 4 integer digits before the decimal part: 1234.50; when the same symbol from Trading Technologies shows a different format: 123450.
Example 2: Strategy calculates on your chart that is fed not with Trading Technologies data and the prices for orders are taken according to chart price format: 1234.50; that is not acceptable for Trading Trechnologies broker that has 123450.
