What it does
MultiCharts provides chart analysis, synchronized market replay and strategy development for technical traders. Its free plan includes simulation, sample historical data and backtesting; paid plans add live connections and further analysis tools. An account is required, and a 30-day trial lets users explore the fuller platform.
MultiCharts synchronizes a historical session across charts, scanners and depth-of-market windows. Workspace Mode keeps their starting point, speed and timeline aligned, which helps when comparing several views of the same move.
Replay can proceed by chart bar, tick, second, minute or day. If you request finer detail than the chart's existing series, the platform downloads additional data and displays Waiting for Detailed Data. Speed controls and jumps let you slow down an active period or pass over quiet sections. Historical depth data must come from a suitable provider or recording.
The scanner can apply indicator criteria across a group of symbols. Right-click a match to open its chart for a closer look. That makes replay useful for practising the whole process of finding and examining a setup.

Choose the programming edition deliberately: MultiCharts uses PowerLanguage/EasyLanguage, while MultiCharts x .NET serves C# and VB.NET users. Purchasing another licence does not automatically end an existing subscription. MultiCharts states that orders are non-refundable, so use the trial to check whether the edition and data workflow meet your needs.
