Post From: Question about historical data

On to specifics... regarding the CTS data question. I want to be 100% clear on this: I'm on package 3 so that means if I'm connected to CTS there is no way to get tick data historically. If that is so, that would then mean I must have package 5 and then all historical data is gauranteed to be tick?

No, on Sierra Chart service package 3 tick by tick historical data for expired contracts for CTS is not supported for the major markets. There is a relatively complex technical problem which we want to avoid users encountering and that is the reason why the data comes from the Sierra Chart server and we limit it to 1 second. You will need Sierra Chart service package 5 and then historical data will be tick by tick for sure.
