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.

In MultiCharts broker and data feed connections are separate. Connection to the data provider needs to be set up in QuoteManager, while the broker connection should be configured in MultiCharts itself.
