How to Connect to a Data Feed or a Broker

To access historical and real-time market data and execute trades, you need to connect to your data source and broker.

When the program is installed for the first time, the data feed will be configured automatically after the broker profile setup.

During subsequent installations or changes to the settings, please note that broker and data feed connections should be set up separately. Connection to the data provider needs to be set up in QuoteManager, while the broker connection should be configured in MultiCharts itself.

Data Feed Connection

To connect your data vendor, please follow this instruction:

1. Open QuoteManager via File → New → QuoteManager Window.
2. In QuoteManager go to Tools → Data Sources.
3. Select the necessary data feed and click the Settings. The configuration window will open.
