Please go through the following details which are copied from help files of fchart, which you will find useful:-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fcharts now supports intraday charting. You can import intraday data, or collect it automatically from a data source.

Intraday sources are Quotetracker, Marketcast, any DDE source (E.g. Metatrader) and fields from any Excel spreadsheet (even one which updates itself from a DDE source)

There is preliminary support for QCollector (which feeds intraday data from Quote.com) http://www.mechtrading.com. The problem is, I don't have a quote.com subscription to test the link, and the QCollector people don't have time to test my program. If you're using QCollector, please let me know.

Quotetracker downloads prices from your broker over the internet, and works with data from many countries. Marketcast is a hardware/software combination for Australia and New Zealand. With Quotetracker, if you can't get data support from your broker, you can't use live prices. (You can still use delayed quotes - Quotetracker has data sources which you can register for, which give you 20-minute delayed prices)

How to enable QuoteTracker for FCharts usage:

NOTE: You no longer have to edit the Quotetracker INI file manually, there's now an option 'Enable HTTP server' on the Preferences/Misc tab in Quotetracker. Just tick the 'On' option, and leave the port setting at 16239.

You MUST click on some adverts to test the Quote Server. Of course, if you're going to use QT regularly, you ought to register it - Medved will welcome your support, and paying for software encourages future development.

Once you've installed Quotetracker and have it running, you have to add the stocks you want to track into the QuoteTracker watch list.

Run F-Charts. Click the INTRADAY button on the main screen and a little form will pop up. Click START, and watch. If you see 'Error' then either you're not running QT or you didn't click enough adverts. Otherwise you should see a time followed by OK.

Now, leave that form alone and return to the main chart window. Pick a stock which you know you added to QuoteTracker's watch list. Change the 'Daily' drop-down to 'Intra-day' and sit back and wait. Every 20 seconds or so the chart windows will refresh, hopefully showing prices. I use candlesticks - you can use anything you like. Please bear in mind that it will take about 10-20 prices before most of the indicators 'kick in', depending on the periods you have chosen for them. (You can change this 20 second interval by altering the FCharts.ini file - the setting is TIMER2INTERVAL and the value is in milliseconds, so the default is 20000. Don't go below about 5000 - 5 seconds - unless you have a fast computer, and stay above 2000 as an absolute minimum, to give the program time to import and update between refreshes.)

If you get nothing after a few minutes you can test the QT server by opening your internet browser and pasting

http://127.0.0.1:16239/req?getLastQuote(*)

into the URL field. When you press ENTER you should see some data. If nothing comes up, it's QT at fault.

You can also enter an hour / minute offset on the Live form. This will allow you to set up a timezone difference from QT's internal time. (Setting a time offset within QT has no effect on the data feed time, which is set to US Pacific)

Note for Windows 2000 / Windows XP users. If the connection doesn't work, you can edit the qthost.ini file in the FCharts program path and change '127.0.0.1' to 'localhost'

Is it possible to run two copies of FCharts and read different data from two copies of Quotetracker? (E.g. ASX stocks from one, US stocks from the other.) Yes it is ... you can change the port number in FCharts to match the one used in QT, but bear in mind you have to use a special command-line switch for Quotetracker to allow it to run more than one copy at a time. Details here (You have to run it from two different folders, too.)

You can enter a 'delay' on the Live Prices form. This delay can be anything from 1 to 60 seconds. It won't make the main chart update any faster, but it'll scan the quotetracker interface at the interval you specify.

On the Settings form you can specify a time cutoff for intraday charts, e.g. only display prices between 10:00 and 17:00.

How to get Forex, Futures, CFD data via Metatrader (www.metaquotes.net):

Download MetaTrader
Enable dde link in MetaTrader tools,options.
Open FCPro, Select Intraday and set to DDE link
Format........ Source!command!ticker
Command....... Bid
Write every...... your choice

DDE Source field should be MT, I believe.
