Sierra Chart is designed and structured a certain way
this is exactly what i wanted to know from my initial post.

Raaa - I was not making any suggestion on what is right/wrong in this space.
I never said you did either.

If you take an identical Tick chart ( or any other non-time based chart ) - SC can load the chart very efficiently.
again.. this thread was not about whether SC is efficient or not. i think we all agree that it is efficient and more stable than most other platforms. it was a question about design and how the software is engineered that may answer the problem i pointed out. just wanted a better understanding of how the software works.

There are few alternate ways where you can have one install using minute data and one install using tick based data and use them in combination to achieve what you want ( you might have go through the documentation on how to get this done) but certainly this is possible.
great suggestion! i will look into this.


again.. i wasn't after a solution to this because i already knew sc support's position on this area and i wasn't trying to influence a change. just after a better understanding and perhaps that may lead to some insights for possible changes or improvements.

but the outcome i was after for posting this thread has been achieved
- i know now that its a design limitation
- i know sc team will not be making any changes to this area
- i have a better understanding of how it all works and im sure others reading this will too as well.
- i have received a good suggestion about installing 2 copies (something i will definitely look into)
