Post From: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

Thanks John for very quick response.

Just to confirm, please. Should I use different connection during weekends? In other words, select "SC Data-All services" instead of "Interactive Brokers" from dropdown of Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings?

I'm using Interactive Brokers and proposed setup isn't working as I expected. There is a difference between Sierra Historical Feed and IB in symbols. For example, current ES contract is ESM19 in Sierra and ES-201906-GLOBEX under IB. So, I tried to set Chart Settings >> Symbol to ESM19 and Chart Settings >> Trade and Current Quote Symbol to ES-201906-GLOBEX with "Use as trade only symbol" enabled checkmark.

I switched my Data/Trade Service to "SC Data - All services" and fair enough, Sierra pulled new data file ESM19.scid and switched title of the chart to ESM19/ES-201906-GLOBEX . The issue now is that I can't place trades as IB is not my active service anymore. And if I switch back to IB as my trade service with "Allow support for Sierra chart data feed", then I'm back at square one on weekends when IB system is down.

Perhaps, I'm doing something wrong here. Could you please help?

Thanks again and best regards
