Hi: I have setup Sierra with Interactive Brokers for trading US equities. 1. When I add 100 symbols to the Intraday File Update List (under Global Settings) IB tells me that my market data is over the limit and the limit is 117. I reduced the Intraday File update list to 90 and so on but I still get this message. (IB settings are at 186 for both fields) 2. On a related note, Can I use the Sierra delayed intraday historical data service to build my intraday files after the market for a list of symbols and then only rely on IB for that trading day's updates as needed. 3. Is there a documented procedure for doing (2)? Thanks. p.s. I am a trial user planning to sign up this week. The only negative so far I have found is that switching to a new symbol during market hours causes a delay due to data download.
