How one should proceed with the latest todays Sierra Chart release to get the BTC currency pairs dsplayed ?

After choosing YES to ,," if you want to open the Data / Trade Service Settings window to configure
it to the use of one of these services,,,."

I did choose the Global Settings --> Data/Trade Service settings ---> Service ---> Bitcoin data.

Then I did go to the File --> Find Symbol --> choose Bitcoin data, but the available symbols
field was blank.

There was an other open field: " Selected symbol ( Or enter a symbol in this box ): "


When mtgoxEUR was feeded to this field and " Open intraday chart " selected, a message "Historical
download complete " appeared on the workspace -- but no chart did show up.

Then I did go to the File New/Open intraday chart -- and did find on my hard drive the file mtgoxEUR.scid
-- and when opened by double left mouse click -- black empty workspace did open but with no chart.

-- If you still configure the Bitcoin exhanges, the other exhanges of interest are at least:

Bitfloor, because of it s liquidity -- and less choppy and " geometrically logical" charts for trendline and
chart pattern analysis.

Btc-e, because it is alongside with MtGox one other relatively liquid Bitchoin exhange with also Euros traded.

-- Consider that MtGog did just close it^s exhage during the last Bitcoin crash. To " cool the markets" or just for updating
database. Anyhow, there should be several Bitcoin data cources as alternative B if one exhange gets shut down --
and because the different quality of the data.

btc24 has some intentionally less filtered data that may be useful for comparision to filtered data -- but happens to be
closed now, at least seen from the Bitcoincharts.com website market data.
