Post From: On software trial, also on SC realtime data trial

1) I am using DTC historical quotes requesting for 1-min bar from SC, every 30 sec. Since I am not dealing with real-time ticks and I don't care about all other market stats like new High/Low, I'd prefer NOT to use market_data_request paradigm. Unless there's a way to say issue a market data request of a symbol, and just don't care about the server responses, just to tell SC to start receiving real-time data.

2) Another choice is I put say all 200 symbols on a quoteboard, just to tell SC to collect realtime data of these 200 symbols.

3) DTC historical data is from intraday file (not in SC memory), so setting the intraday file flush time to 2000ms (2s) for 200 symbols OK? Remember, SC has one quoteboard open, no other GUI/chart/DOM/whatever open, and serves as the DTC server ONLY.
4) The Quoteboard update time (default 800ms) should not affect my operation? If so, will setting it to say 1min be even better? Also reduce the quoteboard to just one display column of say 'last' help too?
