One thing we would like to point out in regards to the changes described in the first post, is that users still have access to the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service:
Sierra Chart Historical Data Service

You can access all of the available Sierra Chart historical data, continuous futures contracts, and the Delayed Exchange Data Feed.

You can set up a separate installation of Sierra Chart to use this data:
Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Introduction

If your Sierra Chart account is through AMP, you will need to be on the Advanced Service Package 5 to have access to Sierra Chart historical data:
Description of Service Packages and Pricing

----


Effectively what has changed is that each Trading service uses its own data now unless you choose to use one of the Sierra Chart provided data feeds with that Trading service, in which case the data will come from the Sierra Chart data feed completely for the exchanges you have activated.

What we do not want to do, and what we have been gradually phasing out over the years is the combining of historical data from one service with historical data from another service. Or having a special historical data service on our own systems we had set up with CQG. Gradually these special services are being phased out. They were phased out in the past with Rithmic, Gain Capital, CTS, TT FIX
