:::* '''Utilization of cache for real-time price data'''.<br><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': historical minutes are requested as minutes from server up to the latest one. The latest historical is plotted from ticks up to the present moment. All the data that is collected in real-time (ticks) is used to build minutes.</div><div style="background-color: #dd9914;">'''Note:''' Due to [[Interactive Brokers Pacing Violation|IB Pacing Violation limitation]] MultiCharts stores realtime IB quotes in a cache until the restart of the platform. When you reload a chart in order to avoid pacing violation the data is taken from this cache. If you want the data to be directly loaded from IB servers, please disable this option. To make this setting come into effect you need to restart MultiCharts and all of its applications.</div>
