Thanks for testing. To clarify the issue; I'm not saying real-time data isn't streaming. It definitely is because if I open a new chart for any symbol hours after connecting, it loads instantly up to the current time. The problem is that the .scid files on disk are not being written to continuously. I verified this by watching the file modification timestamps in the Data folder. After the initial catch-up download on connect, the timestamps stop changing; even while the market is actively trading and the charts are updating in real-time. I saw the same behavior with .dly files; premarket daily bars update on the chart, but the .dly files on disk don't reflect the changes until later. I have an external Python program that needs to read .scid files periodically during the trading day. Right now it's reading stale data because the files aren't being flushed to disk in real-time. Is there a setting that controls how frequently Sierra Chart writes streaming data to .scid files on disk? Or is there another recommended way for an external program to access the continuously updated intraday data? Thanks |
