Post From: Scanning Large Number of Symbols

Dear Support, Disabling the 'Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds' setting solved my symbol limit problem. Although I had to create a separate instance (copy) of SC to run it when I scan (to not interfere with the main instance where continuous real-time access is needed 24/5). When I run the scanner, the scanning completes correctly on Historical Daily charts. But when I set the chart periodicity to intraday 1-0-0 (1-Day) the missing chart data is not downloaded automatically and the scanner somehow simply 'skips' those symbols where there is no chart data saved on the computer. I am scanning on a mix of ~150 futures and forex symbols and I need the last ~30 day's 1-Day intraday chart data downloaded and displayed on the chart to have the correct calculations for the scanning/alert logic. Scanning on delayed data is fine. The forex symbols' missing data is downloaded correctly and automatically before the scan, but not the futures contracts. Probably because the FX data is real-time (streaming) by default. So the skipped symbols are futures, where I have no data downloaded previously manually. Also if I leave the SC instance open and several hours later I re-run the scanner, the already manually downloaded and available futures data doesn't update (no fill of the missing data), unless I exit the application then restart it. So, in brief, I am looking for to scan 1-Day period intraday charts and somehow guarantee that the missing data is filled/automatically downloaded right before the scan - both for Forex and Futures symbols. And do this without the symbol being counted into my RT symbol limit (this is already done based on your advice). Thanks for any suggestions in anticipation!
