Hi, I want to use Sierra Charts as my data provider along with data I'm already downloading daily from IB (my current broker), so I can cross-validate the data and compare them. In IB there is an API through which I can easily download historical data programmatically for many stocks and then analyze them offline in my Matlab simulation. How can I programmatically download historical data for many stocks from SC? Can it be done through IB API? Thank you |

Sometime later this year this can be done using the new DTC Protocol Server: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_DTCServer.php At this time for Daily data you can access this data through the Historical Daily data text files: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TextCSVDataFormat.html At this time for Intraday data, you can export that: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ImportExport.html Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you, I saw these options in the SC program. What I'm looking for is a programmatic way to download historical data for, say 100 stocks of interest. Clearly this is very uncomfortable using the menus. Is there an API or dll which I can access and give 100 export commands for 100 different stocks? Thank you |

No there is not.

Is there a way to access SierraCharts data using the IB API?

No. Of course not. This makes no sense.

Yes you can do this. You can also use the Associated Symbol List and perform a scan to accomplish the same thing: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SwitchingSymbols.html#AssociatedSymbolList Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
