Post From: Remote chart that is continuous

i am aware that the "remote chart" feature is working as of now and i hope you wont remove it cause you might think the "instance-feature" might be sufficient.
No we are not going to remove this functionality.

The only limitation is that continuous futures contract charts are not supported with remote chart data files opened with File >> Find Symbol.


How do I get minute datafrom SC Historical Data to work inside my GainCapital/OEC copy?
What you need to do is use the File >>New Instance feature and set the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit in that instance to 1 Minute:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DataSourceSettings.php#IntradayStorageUnit

The historical data for expired futures contracts will come from the SC Historical Data service. The current contracts will come from data maintained from the Gain Capital data feed. Although refer to this section here:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance: Historical Data and Missing Historical Data

We do not have any other solution to offer if the remote chart data file feature does not currently meet your requirements.


DTC Protocol Server failed to start listening on port 11099. | 2017-02-28 12:40:34 *
Listening socket (1236), port 0 | Failed to bind socket to 0.0.0.0:11099. Windows error code 10048: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. | 2017-02-28 12:41:34 *

Refer to:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance: Resolving DTC Protocol Server Port Number Conflicts

There is a problem that even when you are disabling the DTC Protocol Server that it will not stop trying to listen. This will be corrected in the next release.
