Post From: Compress a specific symbol's data file, not all of them

joshtrader,

There is a way to accomplish what you're trying to do .... it will require you to install a separate instance of Sierra Chart.

Name this separate instance whatever you want .... for example - SierraChart2 (I will use this example throughout my explanation)

Now go into your main SierraChart installation to the Data folder & copy all the .scid files that you want to compress.

Paste those .scid files into the Data folder of the new instance .... SierraChart2 in my example.
Launch the separate instance of (SierraChart2) and then compress the files, when done you can close this instance.

Now go into the Data folder of SierraChart2 & copy all the .scid files you just compressed .... (all the steps are just reversed)
So you will then paste those copied files back into the Data folder of your main SierraChart instance .... (all steps are now complete)

Once you confirm everything is working as intended, you can delete the SierraChart2 file folder (if you wish to do so).
