We also received email communication from you about this.


This is possible. Although it sounds like you are writing your own chart through a scid file.

You will need to set up Sierra Chart to work with your Currenex account and be connected.

Go to the custom chart and set Chart >> Chart Settings >> Alternate Real-Time Update Symbol to the symbol that you want to trade through Currenex.

In your custom trading study use this member to cause the study function to be immediately called on market data and order updates:

You need to use ACSIL and not Spreadsheets.

However, the problem here is that sc.ExternalDataImmediateStudyCall does not cause an immediate study function call when a chart data file is externally updated. if you have your own custom data feed you will need to feed Sierra Chart data by using GSP. If you also want to trade, then that will require another connection, which can also be based on GSP.



The response time will be extremely fast. In the microsecond range. Below half a millisecond.

All of this is going to be possible, but it is just a matter of working out the data and trading connections which is going to require some development.

Another thing we could do that would be a temporary solution would be to allow the chart update interval to be much faster than 40 ms. We could take this down to 5 ms. However, that is not really particularly efficient because it causes a lot of update messages to be sent to each chart. Although we could do it.
