Bitfinex

The Bitfinex data feed is configured by default. The connection is free and works without any credentials.

1. In the QuoteManager main menu select Tools and then click Data Sources, highlight Bitfinex in the list of all supported data vendors and click the Settings button.
2. Configure the settings in Main tab:
   • In the Connectivity section one can check/uncheck the following options enabled by default:
     • Use heartbeats for connection loss detection – heartbeats are utilized for detecting connection loss and reconnecting. If heartbeats are not being received from the server – reconnect is done. Specify the frequency of heartbeats in seconds in the Timeout field.
     • Show Error pop-up alert – show pop-up messages notifying the user if some Volume Multiplier parameters require changes.
   • In the Historical Data section, one can select what will be used for plotting tick bars.
     • Select the using one minute bars radio button to build historical tick bars from one minute bars.
     • Select the using ticks radio button to build historical tick bars from ticks.
3. In the Volume Multiplier tab select the category of the instruments and configure the Volume Multiplier value if necessary.
   For cryptocurrencies volume value which is displayed on charts will be divided by the multiplier specified for an instrument in the data feed settings in order to get real volume. In MultiCharts volume cannot be expressed by a fraction. Volume Multiplier is used to display an integral value instead of 0.
   By default, Volume Multiplier is equal to 10,000. It is possible to set up Volume Multiplier individually for each instrument depending on the traded volume of this instrument.
