~~Since MultiCharts 8.7 beta 1 it is possible to cache historical data downloaded from LMAX to speed up data backfilling. To enable caching downloaded data:~~

~~# Open QuoteManager,~~

~~# Click '''Tools''' in main menu,~~

~~# Select '''Data Sources''',~~

~~# Highlight LMAX,~~

~~# Click '''Settings''',~~

~~# Check ''Cache downloaded quote files'',~~

~~# Click OK to apply the settings.~~

* '''Cache downloaded quote files''' - this option enables storing the downloaded data on your hard drive. When this feature is enabled - upon reloading data on a chart it will be loaded from the cached files, instead of the data provider historical data servers.

* '''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.

* '''Build trade ticks from ask ticks and bid ticks''' - when this option is enabled, quote field "Trade" includes both Bid and Ask prices which makes the Volume Profile feature usable for Forex symbols. Trade field records a new tick even if only the Ask price/volume has changed and does not wait for the Bid to change either price or volume. When the option is disabled - Quote Field "Trade" plots "Bid" data.

To add an instrument from data source, see [[Data_Sources_Overview#Adding_Symbol.28s.29_to_Symbol_List|Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List]].
