That is possible that during MultiCharts operation the Internet connection or the real-time data provider connection from your PC is lost. In such situation the missing data can be backfilled by MultiCharts:
*On [[Tick, Minute and Daily Data|tick based]] charts the gaps are backfilled at once after the connection is restored.
*On [[Tick, Minute and Daily Data|minute based]] charts the gaps are not backfilled at once. The gaps are backfilled on a next historical data request (copy/paste chart, close/open workspace).

'''“Backfilled at once” means that after physical connection recovery:'''
* Reconnection event is determined (corresponding message appears in QuoteManager Event Log);
* Missing data is requested from the data vendor;
* Missing bars appear on the chart;
* Realtime bars appear after backfilled bars;
* The studies are not recalculated, they are calculated regular way on the backfilled bars;
* The orders are generated and if the auto trading is enabled they are sent to broker.

'''Backfilling Availability.'''
