General question on charting over weekend

[pa188]

Guys,

I may have missed this info somewhere so I'm not sure if this is possible or not?

MY broker data is from MBT and I'm using NT7 beta. Over the week I've been using NT7 with MBT historic connection no problems. But how do I use data over the weekend when my broker is offline? Is this a case of using NT7 market replay data or other way?

Thanks for the support.

Use record so that you have a local history in your database.

Hi there sleeping troll,

Do you mean tools>options>data and then in real time data I select:

*save chart as historical

*record for market replay

Or do you mean something else entirely?

Also I would need to keep the computer on 24/7 to keep all this data?

Thanks for the help

pa188, if you leave your computer on 24/7 and have record for market replay checked, then your computer will build up a database of all watched instruments so you can play it back later.

If you are just talking about wanting to view the data from the week during the weekend, you just have to increase the "days to load" parameter when creating the chart.
