==Understanding Multiplier for Trading Technologies Symbols==
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 provided by 2 separate sources may differ and this can cause some issues.:<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': Trading Technologies dooesndoesn'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 in using '''Merge''' function (see [[Creating Charts|Merging Data Sources into a Single Chart]] )to have historical date from IQFeed and real-time data from Trading Technologies on ES chart. It may be problematiclead to significant price spike on the chart, 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 containg only integer part format: '''123450'''.</div><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example 2''': Strategy calculates on your chart that is fed not with Trading Technologies data and the prices price for orders are is taken according to chart price format: '''1234.50'''; that is not acceptable for Trading Trechnologies broker on its end that has '''123450'''on ES.</div>
To make possible combining Trading Technologies data feed with another one or trade using Trading Technologies the Multiplier feature has been added.
