To connect MultiCharts to TradeStation data feed, it is necessary to have their software installed and launched on the computer.
<brdiv style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Since TradeStation 10 both '''MultiCharts''' and '''TradeStation''' should be run as Administrator to establish the connection. Right click on the application icon, then click Run as Administrator.</div>
If the connection is set up correctly, MultiCharts brings up TradeStation software automatically when data is requested.
To download the latest version of TradeStation, follow the link and login to TradeStation Client Center: https://clientcenter.tradestation.com
:# In the opened up window:
::* Data Vendor section.<br>Select the version of TradeStation installed on your computer from the '''TradeStation versions''' list.
::* Settings section.<br>Check the '''Save data to local database''' box if you want to store the data in QuoteManager and not to request it from TradeStation next time you plot the same instrument.
<br>
To add an instrument manually or from data source, see [[Data_Sources_Overview#Adding_Symbol.28s.29_to_Symbol_List|Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List]].
==Troubleshooting==
If charts in MultiCharts are backfilling too slow, most likely, TradeStation queued up data requests. Please check the TS Download Scheduler (in TradeStation go '''View''' -> '''Messages''' -> '''Launch Download Scheduler'''). If you see data requests there, right-click them -> '''Schedule ASAP'''.
