Post From: OEC Currency Futures Data

OEC has changed the currency futures price formatting for the production environment on 2014-3-30.

While we did expect a change would come sometime, we got no specific notice as to the date when this would occur.



However, we have implemented the necessary changes for the major futures contracts. We have adjusted the historical data to match the new format for the current futures contracts only. Expired futures contracts have not yet been adjusted and that is a time-consuming procedure which we do not expect to complete for several more days.

If you are using Sierra Chart and OEC for currency futures, then you need to do the following.

- Update the symbol settings as explained here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php#UpdateSettings

-You will need to apply the settings to the existing charts following the instructions here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php#UpdateChartSettingsSteps

-You will need to re-download the data in your Intraday currency futures chart by going to the chart and selecting Edit >>Delete All Data and Download. This only needs to be done once for each symbol. Not each chart.

If you are using the Continuous Futures Contract feature, it will be to be disabled for the time being until the historical data for expired futures contracts is adjusted. Therefore, set the following: Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings >>Continuous Contract >> None for each of the currency futures charts.
