Does Insider TA require an Internet connection?
Yes, but only during certain events:
- Build Updates: The Insider TA software has an Internet
Update Facility feature that facilitates easy updating to the
latest software build for the current version.
- Periodic check-in: Due to piracy concerns, there is a license

Stock Blocks, as well as our registered users in the event their copy
is inadvertantly copied or misplaced.
Other than the above times, general operation of Insider TA does not
require an Internet connection. Can Insider TA work with a real-time data feed?
No. The ability to use Insider TA for real-time data (such as ESignal)
is something that has been discussed for a while, and hopefully will
be included in a future major update. We do not have a projected date
of release for a version containing this feature.

Yes, by exporting your TC2000 data to ASCII format.
