+== Features and limitations ==
+'''Features'''
+* Offmarket data filter
+'''Limitations'''
+* The Bid/Ask history is not supported (only real time data)
+* When plotting a minute chart, ticks will be requested because it is impossible to receive the history of minutes. It will deteriorate data reception performance
+* When importing new data in MarketCast Data Server and when creating a chart the whole history is requested once more
+== Setting up ==
+# Make sure MarketCast DataServer 2.11 or higher is installed and functions properly.
+# Make sure you've specified the path to RealTime API DLL "McApi.dll" correctly (by default the path is installed automatically and indicates a folder where the MarketCast Data Server is installed).<br>No additional settings are required.
+<br>To create a symbol using MarketCast as the Data Source see [[Operating_Symbol_List#Adding Symbol from Data Vendor Supplied List|Adding from a list supplied by data vendor]] section for more detailed information.
