Post From: Help me understand why SierraChart goes to CQG to get historical data.

The main reason I thought so was because when I switched to my CQG API from IBKR, it re-downloaded even though I already had the data locally.

If the data is coming from SC, then is there a way to avoid this download if I switch between CQG and IBKR?

For example, if the data was stored using some sort of canonical symbol locally instead of the trading service symbol, then perhaps this duplication could be avoided?
