If you are planning to subscribe to Firstcharting nse feeds, but also wants to use the free commodities data provided by other free MT4 data vendors like GCI etc. My suggestion to you is don't go for the stupid subscription of Firstcharting.
These idiots have modified MT4 to change globally wherein even after a fresh install of GCI MT4 once you close it and try to open it again it starts trying to connect to their servers and it wont work.
in a nutshell,
stay away from firstcharting if any later point of time you want to use free data vedors of MT4.

hauler bhai, previously i used firstcharting for nse & mcx. but it was costly for me as i am a small trader. now i am using shareguru's. it was cheap but some problems. it missed some ticks. it's rt was offline. so i must open separate charts for timeframes.

can you suggest any mt4 rt provider for nse & mcx for me.
thank you.

Kiran bhai,
I don't know of any MCX, but for NSE futs you can use ''gcitrading".
Since i trade commodities only on longer time frame, kind of the dollar quotes in these softwares work for me.

Kiran,
That's the problem with MT4 with these free vendors. MT4 can pick time only from the feed servers, so you will always get the wrong time.
Also these kind of brokers are called differential brokers, wherein they earn their brokerage by showing you different prices for buy and sell. So, the data is going to be like this only.
As i have understood, if you solely rely on one source of data, it doesn't make much difference in analysis. Most of the triggers and alerts work as the same with normal data. you just have to take care that you have to use this data for alert and not price values.
