I made some changes to the Update Interval portion of the screen located at: Global Settings > General Settings > General and did not write down the defaults that were there before I made the changes. Now, when I start up SC, it takes about 4 minutes for Rithmic to populate the data and begin streaming. Before the changes I made in an attempt to make SC even faster, it would only take about 30 seconds to load and populate the data and then begin streaming. Since I am a OneUp Trader, I don't have any choice but to use a Rithmic feed if I want to use Sierra Charts. Here is what I have now under the Update Interval section of Global Settings > General Settings > General Settings name Update Intervals Chart Update Interval in MS is 30 Quote Board Update Interval in MS is 100 Quote Board High/Low Timeout Time in Seconds is 30 Multiple Chart Back Test Update Interval in MS is 200 Timer Management Enable is No Timer Management - Chart Calculation/Draw Time multiplier for Interval Delay is 3 Timer Management - Maximum Interval Delay in MS is 300 Minimum Delay Between Chart Update in MS is 30 US OS Timer for Charts Yes I made no changes to anything else in this section or to anything else on this whole screen. I attached a screenshot of what I currently have to this support post. What were the default settings for the Update Interval section of the attached screenshot that SC had preset before the changes I made above so that I can put it back exactly as it was? Also, ever since I updated to version 2868 and changed from using the OS Timer to the Sierra Chart timer, besides it taking about 4 minutes for my charts to populate, it also takes about 2 minutes to switch from Real trading to Simulated by going to Trade > and adding or removing the check mark located next to Trade Simulation Mode On. I have tried to go back to using the OS Timer instead of the Sierra Chart timer and I still am experiencing SC taking about 4 minutes to populate the data. Before I tried to use the Sierra Chart timer, I did not have hardly any delay since SC would start and populate the charts in about 30 seconds. I have tried restarting SC, rebooting my computer, also as stated above, I tried to go back to the OS Timer and still I am experiencing the delayed load issue. I have also tried to update to SC version 2871 and 2872 and still I am experiencing the delayed load at start up. Please instruct me how to fix this and also give me the default setting for the SC page. The screenshot is after I made the change from the OS timer management to the SC Timer Management as shown above in bold type. I wish I would have taken a screenshot of what the chart interval page looked like before I made any changes, but, I did not. Hopefully, you can tell me what to set each line to as the default settings that were originally in Sierra Charts. I read the info at General Settings Window: Chart Update Interval (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Update Intervals) I still think Sierra Charts are the best even though I am experiencing the issues as stated above.
