Hi , Pls help me understand the mechanics of data provision. I do use very long term volume profiles ( 3 years) and tick data is important to me. So - am i correct ? ( Gain is my real time data provider) : 1. Gain gives me real time data, and Sierra gives me all the data prior to this very moment. So for example , at weekeneds, I can delete and download without even being connected to GAIN , and Sierra will provide all the data? Correct ? 2. At rollovers, when i press the 'perform rollover ' button, data starts being downloaded - and it is all coming from Gain ? Say I press rollover button at 12.00 midday Thursday, and Gain gives me that new contract data from the very beginning of Thursday ( after wednesday settlement ) and sierra provides the rest - or Gain provides all 3 years back of data? ( I tried rolling over at weekend but sierra did not provide the data ) 3. Tha data that I accumulate by never ever switching my computer off, is all tick data, so very good quality. Is my charting using this data , or every time say i update new version of sierra and restart it, it loads the 3 years worth of minute data from Sierra's own servers ? Is there a way I can make charting use locally stored data rarther than download less accurate data from Sierra server? Thank you very much |
