Hello everyone, I've configured my sierrachart to trading with the trader workstation from interactive broker. So when i click in a chart on sierrachart to open a position, instantly, the interactive broker do the job and it works great!!!! BUT Is it possible to open just sierrachart to study the chart withouth opening interactive broker first. Because sometimes, i just want to study the chart from sierra chart and not trading but unfortunately, because the symbol of interactive broker are not the same than the sierra chart feed. When i open the chart, it says that ib is not working or something like this so i must change the symbol before studying which take lot of time to change this settings and it take lot of time to launch the TWS from IB too... TLDR : i don't want to open IB and directly open SC and study the chart with no action to change the symbol or something like that. Is it possible. TY, |

For exactly what you are wanting, the answer is "not really". To do what you are wanting, you would have to open Sierra Chart, change the "Current Selected Service" to "SC Data", select OK to close that window and then, when prompted to update the symbols answer "Yes". -- The better solution would be to have a separate installation of Sierra Chart that you would leave connected to "SC Data". You can then use this for when you just want to look at the charts. As long as this second installation is on the same computer, then there are no additional fees to set this up. Refer to the following: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Step-By-Step Instructions to Install Multiple Copies of Sierra Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
