During the trading day, the Message Log window pops up multiple time as data as historical data is downloaded. It's incredibly annoying and not something I need to be notified of. How can I turn this off and limit the window pop ups to disconnects?

This should not normally be the case. Provide one of the lines that is causing the Message Log to open. It will have a * at the end of it.

I don't see any with an asterisk at the end. These are happening with Historical Data requests for Market Stats symbols only. Namely the following: ADR-NYSE NISS-SP NTCK-SP NVOL-NYSE TICK-NYSE All of text blocks contain basically the same information and look like this: (please note the bolded text - it is present in every text block).

Therefore, it is not these lines which are causing the log window to open. It is something else. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Those are the only types of entries I see when the Log Window opens. Same happens every time I launch SC. The Log Window opens and shows me every single operation it's performing with relation to data download. There are no asterisks at all at the end of any text line. Is there a way to completely disable this window and prevent it from popping up?

All we can say is if the line does not have an asterisk at the end, it definitely is not going to open that window. If it is, we would have absolutely no idea why and we have not heard of this before. Before you exit from Sierra Chart close the Message Log and it should not appear when you open Sierra Chart.

Definitely does. Always has. I thought that was normal. It happens every time I launch SC and pops up intermittently all day long. Every time I launch, this is the first block of text: Software version: 1251 \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Uses New Spreadsheets \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Usage end date: 2015-05-31 \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Enabled for: Advanced Features. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Enabled for: Advanced Features 2. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Enabled for: Sierra Chart Historical Data Service. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Enabled for: Sierra Chart Real-Time Exchange Data Feed. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Enabled for: CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX exchanges for trading accounts. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Received 1 data feed usernames. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds is enabled. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Active service: AMP/TTNet \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Time Zone: -07:00:00 (PST-08PDT+01,M3.2.0/02:00,M11.1.0/02:00) \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Local computer clock time \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 2015-05-05 03:07:51 GMT time \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Time zone adjusted time \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Time difference to server time: 1 seconds. \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Program path: C:\SierraChart\ \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Data Files path: C:\SierraChart\Data\ \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 OS Version Number: 6.1 \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 Locale Information: C \| 2015-05-04 20:07:51 It then goes and lists every operation it's performing, Historical Data Requests, New Symbol Settings for TT, Rollover date info, TT Fix connections, the whole nine yards.

This has been an issue since day one. What I do is drag a corner of the Message Log to size it very small, then park it out of the way. Then if you want to see what is in the log, drag the corner to size it large.

There needs to be a control to disable the message window completely or restrict it to critical messages only imo.

I have a similar problem, but the log message comes up every time my computer comes out of sleep mode. When I minimize the log window and save it, the next time I come out of sleep mode it maximizes. I also would like more control over the log message window. It is annoying to have to close the message log windows on multiple SC instances every time my computer comes out of sleep mode.
