Dear Team,

I have not been using Sierra charts for a while (12.2025). Now I have logged in again and I can not rollover to the new symbol. I get the message " Historical Intraday Data Download Failed Error downloading historical Intraday data for F:US:EPM26. Historical data logon error: Logon rejected due to authorisation failure.". The charts then come up blank. My data feed is green.
How can this be fixed?

Thank you

First thing we want to do is to update Sierra Chart to the current version. Instructions:
Software Download: Fast Update



And then:

Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Fully re-download the data in the chart by going to the chart and selecting "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download". Only use this command from the Edit menu at the top of the main window or chart.

Or, in the case of a Continuous Futures Contract chart, follow these instructions:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Re-Downloading Continuous Futures Contract Data

After about a minute provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:
Support Board Posting Information: How to Post Your Message Log (Required In Some Cases)

We will then determine what the problem is.
