Hello I have a few questions for something I am building, see below:

1.Sierra Chart writes intraday (.scid) and Market Depth Data (.depth) files every 5 seconds. Is there a setting to shorten that write interval, and is reading those files in shared mode from my own program on the same PC supported while Sierra Chart is writing them?

2.May an ACSIL study on my own PC stream the Denali CME depth and trade updates it receives to my own browser-based display running on the same PC, for my personal, non-commercial use only, with no redistribution to any other person or machine? If not, which document states the restriction?

3.Does the Denali market-by-order stream for CME include orders smaller than 3 contracts, or only orders of 3 or more?
