Collecting and Saving Data to MultiCharts Database

no edit summary
There is plenty of ways to recieve data in MultiCharts, however each way treats received data individually. The only common thing is that no data can be received (except for ASCII Import, see) if Offline mode of MultiCharts is selected.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Data that was recieved in MultiCharts is stored in cache during MC working session. Once the software ('''tsserver.exe''', see [[MultiCharts Processes]]) is shut down, the data is stored in MultiCharts database. </div>
 
==Saving Historical Data==
Most of supported data vendors provide historical data that is always stored locally after data is received. All types of data is stored:
* Ticks, minutes, days (see [[Tick, Minute and Daily Data]]);
* Asks, bids, trades.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Exceptions''': Historical data from the following data sources is not stored locally:<br>* ASCII Mapping<br>* CSI<br>* GlobalServer<br>* MetaStock<br>Historical data from [[TradeStation]] can be stored locally if the box is checked in the data source settings.</div>
When data is imported from ASCII file, it is always stored in MultiCharts database.
