Why do I need extended logging

By default real-time data reception is not logged to avoid influence on performance and system resources.
For a Feedback report to include information about real-time data, extended logging should be enabled.

How to enable extended logging

Close MultiCharts and all its applications including QuoteManager. Make sure that no MultiCharts processes are left in Task Manager → Details tab → Description column.
Right-click the MultiCharts shortcut → Properties → Shortcut tab → click Open File Location. The default path is C:\Program Files\TS Support\MultiCharts64
Run ExtendedLogging.exe.
Check Shaper.dll and a dll corresponding to your data feed.
Click Apply.
