3. It will then open chart of the selected symbol from local memory, as shown below.

Notes :

The data contains entire NSE Futures and Options Segment. However since none of MetaStock versions (from 7.2 upto 11) supports symbol names of more than 14 characters, you will need to use Dictionary feature to see realtime data of symbols having length of more than 14 characters.

It is observed that MetaStock respects local data storage only when chart timeframe is 1 minute. If you open any chart in any timeframe other than 1 minute, MetaStock requests entire data from our servers. So users are expected to open charts in 1 minute timeframe ONLY, so that it downloads only incremental data from our servers - thus reducing the time / bandwidth required to load the charts. Once chart is opened, you can change the timeframe to desired timeframe as per your requirements.
