Everything about your account is fine. It sounds like there is nothing particularly wrong, but that the system is actually downloading the missing data. Since you state that it has been 2 weeks since you last logged in, the system is trying to get all the data for that time. How long did you wait for the data to download? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I have an instance of SC that I didn't open for 3 months. When I went to open it, I had the same yellow message. The wording "Waiting" to download is confusing as, what is it waiting for? But I just let it be, and eventually, probably after 15-20 minutes the yellow banner went away. I think the banner should read, "Downloading Historical Data". Or if "Waiting" is the correct word choice, help us understand what SC is waiting so long for? I seems like it's waiting and waiting and then after it's done waiting, it then downloads the data rather quickly. Again, this is confusing.

I didn't logged in for more than 2 weeks and then changed the ES contract to current. So no data for the current is available . IT was all dark screen with yellow waiting message For me it is more than an 1 hour. Because the screen goes dark after an hour. Finally I posted this problem then I went out to grill 10 lbs of chicken. Out for 2-3 hours or more . Now I came back and all is good displaying today's data. May be Sierra chart should initiate download earlier instead of waiting such long. |
