== Troubleshooting ==
 
If data is not plotted or plotted incorrectly, please open an identical chart in the IQFeed app, you can find the IQFeed Connection Manager on your Windows toolbar.<br>
Right-click the IQFeed Connection Manager icon → Display Apps → Charts.
 
If charts are correct in IQFeed, but not in MultiCharts check your data feed setting (see above), especially the use of the '''Build minute and daily bars based on tick data''' option.
