Post From: Breaking Change: Remote Chart Data Files

What are known as Remote chart data files which can be opened through File >> Find Symbol by changing the Instance at the top of the window has not been "officially" supported any longer now for a couple of years. Although the functionality still exists.

This functionality has its limitations, runs into problems with operating system security related restrictions, can be confusing for users and is difficult for us to support due to the overall complexity of this feature and not knowing exactly what a user is doing.

This functionality is going to be completely removed sometime in the next month. Probably in a couple of weeks. It is going to be replaced with the ability to set through symbol settings the source of data for a symbol through a DTC server IP address and port number and also set a multiplier and a symbol remap.

You can then access data for a given symbol from any other instance of Sierra Chart running on your system using that particular data feed running in that instance. This is going to be a much more advanced feature. This feature will also support symbols on a Quote Board accessing data from another instance of Sierra Chart.

And it also supports full transfer of all types of market data between instances including market depth data and the various calculations that you see in the Chart/Trade DOM columns.


We will document it with a video and make sure it works properly but we will not provide any technical help for it unless there is a technical issue we need to resolve from our side or the user pays extra for support for this at 75 USD per hour (only means we do not want to be bothered with this by less experienced users). It is for advanced users only.

We have no doubt, that users who understand this functionality and are currently using remote chart data files feature are going to be exceptionally happy with this new replacement functionality. It is going to be an incredibly powerful feature and once we show you in a video how it works, you will be impressed.
