To feed an Excel file with real time data from MultiCharts, use the RTD Server:

  1. Download the RTD Server installer here.
  2. Close MultiCharts and all its applications. Make sure there are no MultiCharts Processes left in Task Manager → Details tab → Description column.
  3. Run RTD Server.exe and follow the installation wizard.
  4. Run MultiCharts and create a chart with real-time data.
  5. Right-click the chart → Insert Study → in the Indicator tab select the Symbol Data indicator. Click OK to apply it to the chart.
  6. Open up an Excel file → Add-ins tab → in the Custom Toolbars select MultiCharts:InsertSymbolData.
  7. Choose required data in the Insert MultiCharts Symbol window and click OK.

Now real-time data should be streaming into the Excel file.

The combination of MultiCharts, RTD, Windows and MS Office bit you are using is very important.

Please make sure that one of the following combinations is used:

1. MS Office 32 + RTD32 + MultiCharts/.NET 32-bit using any 32-bit Operation System.

2. Windows 8.1

MS Office 2013 (x64) + RTD64 + MultiCharts/.NET 64-bit.

3. Windows 2012 Server Standard

MS Office 2013 (x64) + RTD64 + MultiCharts/.NET 64-bit.

4. Windows 10

MS Office 32 + RTD32 + MultiCharts/.NET 32-bit

MS Office 64 + RTD64 + MultiCharts/.NET 64-bit.
RTD is provided only for MultiCharts and MultiCharts .NET, will not work in MultiCharts .NET Special Edition/MultiCharts .NET64 Special Edition




The following chart types are not supported:

  1. Volume Delta;
  2. Cumulative Delta;

To stream indicator values into a chart in Excel it is necessary to add the SendPlotsValues command to your indicator code. Then apply this indicator to a chart in MultiCharts and select MultiCharts:InsertIndicatorData in Excel under Add-Ins tab.
