Hello I did something stupid. Somehow Sierra was downloading data for continuous futures contact on the 1 minute timeframe and it filled my disk. I closed SC and went into the Data folder and deleted those files. After restarting SC it seems to insist on downloading years of tick data. I set the continuous chart type to None and limited the data range to 10 days but it didn't work. Note I can only load daily charts. How do I reset this? Thanks for your help. |

One thing you can do is follow through the instructions here to make the downloading of data faster: Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Improving Historical Intraday Data Downloading Performance And also check these two settings: Data/Trade Service Settings: Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
