Hi, I just started the free trial with you and wanted to use my IB data feed. After much perusing I noticed Sierra Chart is doing the following: -- Subscribe to real time updates for the selected symbol -- Download intraday historical data from IB -- Download daily historical data from a different server (I will not post the URLs for obvious reasons) which seems to be the data feed partner of Sierra Chart. In the Data/Trade Service Settings I found no way to tell SierraChart to only do downloads from IB. This is of much concern because I had been directed to you because of your DTC protocol and was planning to write my own DTC Server to Sierra Chart which would be interfacing to my own data sources. Since I read you have implemented translations (post on 2014-01-20) for IB symbols to map them to your data provider, I was wondering if: a) the aforementioned behavior is intended and works as designed or b) this is just a glitch due to the introduction of your own feeds or else c) I have not been able to find the right switch to download daily historical data from my preferred source Thank you and best regards
