MultiCharts QuoteManager maintains a database of stocks as a data feed source. Each symbol listing is specific to a data source. Any stock you want to see or trade must be in the QuoteManager database.

The QuoteManager service connects to your broker’s desktop application. Run your broker’s native platform program before running MultiCharts (which internally runs its QuoteManager service).
