When I click "File --> Find Symbol" with the above service, there are literally thousands of indexes (indices) available. How do I search for an index (Futures, Market Stats, etc.)? As there are hundreds if not thousands and scrolling through them was my thing but there must be an easier way. I must be missing something in a tutorial as this should be quite easy. Please help nonetheless. ;-) |

You can more easily locate the symbols here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php Sierra Chart Market Statistics It is not easy for us to develop search functionality in the Find Symbol window due to the complex implementation of that.

Although we suppose one day this is going to come. Okay then. I am waiting for the day where I type in a symbol and I did not have to try to guess what is the actual symbol. What are the symbols for (within SC Data - All Services) the following indices: 1. London FTSE. 2. Nikkei 225 3. Euro Stoxx 50 I need the above 3 ... if you can search your databases for me? Please? |

We assume you want the futures? And what exchanges? For futures you will see these listed in Futures-Indices. It is always going to be best that you perform your own searches. You know exactly what you want. These are not hard to find. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I am looking for the 3 indices - delayed data is fine. No, I am not looking for the futures. The indices are on their respective exchange and let me add that to my request earlier. Essentially, I cannot find them on SC Data ... What are the symbols for (within SC Data - All Services) the following indices: 1. London FTSE 100 - on the London Stock Exchange. 2. Nikkei 225 - on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. 3. Euro Stoxx 50 - on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. |

There is only going to be end of day data available for these. The symbols can be found here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php&SymbolsPage=Indices#OtherWorldIndexes Here are some of them: Description: FTSE Symbol: XY0 Description: DAX Symbol: DYY0 Description: Nikkei Symbol: NXY0 Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks. I have those already from the website - I was not sure I guess. Those indices on the chart platform all have a "$" sign in front? The Hang Seng Index, for example, is $HSI? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-02-06 09:19:37

We do not see a $HSI symbol. You need to use HSY0.

This symbol has now been removed although you would not see it removed unless you performed a Full Reset of the symbol settings. There is only Historical Daily data for it and there certainly is no real-time data. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Here are some of them:
Description: Nikkei Symbol: NXY0 The above symbol is not updating or showing a delayed number for more than a few hours? For the Nikkei 225, I have it at 16,085.44 for Monday, Feb 8, 2016 closing but the chart is showing a close of 17,004.30? |

There is no real-time data for this market. We do know what to say about the closing prices. We do not know ultimately were this data originates from or what you are comparing to. It is not something we can control. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

I don't think I said real time data but just to be clear I am NOT asking for real time data as per many discussions of this data service. Just to be clear, I am looking for delayed data. I can also tell you where my sources are - I use a most popular internet search engine to look for such data on the most popular from financial news providers and they have delayed data but their data matches with each other independently. You can tell me how much it - the NXY0 - is delayed? If you cannot, please ask your data provider. Please. |

There is not delayed data either. There is only end of day data for that symbol. To bring the chart up-to-date, select Edit >> Download Data-Historical Chart.

Thanks. It seems fine now without the need to "bring the chart up-to-date" - once I loaded the symbol NXY0, it updates to a daily bar - and the bar matched the Open, High, and Low too. It is about 2AM in Tokyo now. I am also checking out the HSY0 / $HSI symbol and see which one better match the actual historical Open, High, Low, and Close. If you have the amount of the data is delayed for the above mentioned indices - please advise when available. |

All available data for Historical Charts is always downloaded when the chart is opened for the first time. If you want to increase the amount of data loaded into the chart, you can do this through Chart Settings: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartSettings.html#DaysToLoad Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Questions: I saw these symbols: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php&SymbolsPage=Indices#OtherWorldIndexes For "SC Data - All Services" - I also saw under "Find Symbol" --> "CFD" a few more symbols internationally. Using for example the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, they are not identical ... additionally, the "HSY0" does not have volume while the "HKG33" does. The HSY0 seems to be more closely resembles other free data sources (e.g. Bloomberg, CNBC, etc.) Questions: 1. What exactly is "CFD"? 2. The above link to "OtherWorldIndexes", are you planning to expand the coverage? The current 6 is adequate but why are they not listed under "Find Symbol"? 3. A request: Can you implement a search function under "Find Symbol"? |

1. Do your own research on this. The prices can be different than the actual cash market data from the exchange. 2. What do you require and we will see if they are available. We will make sure these are listed in the Find Symbol window if they are not already: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php&SymbolsPage=Indices#OtherWorldIndexes 3. No comment on this now. It is technically difficult to accomplish. It is not something that we will put on our to do list because we have way too much to do already.

!. Okay ... 2. If you can include the following world indices: Euro Stoxx 50, Toronto TSX (of Canada), Shanghai Composite Index (of China), and TSEC Weighted Index (of Taipei) 3. Sure. I will search within that webpage on index symbol. All you have to do is to update the webpage and what is under "Find Symbol" in the platform. |

2. For a particular futures underlying symbol, you can add Y0 to get the cash index if it is available. This will not always work if the data is not available.

Is it cost or more engineering that makes the index difficult? |

I am having issues with the symbols HSY0, NXY0, XY0, and DYY0 - they take up system memories and resources and crashes Sierra Chart (I am using version 1405). What it looks like is continues to take up system resources compared to other instances of Sierra Chart and while I waited and waited for the charts to load, I would end up closing other instances and then Windows 10 would tell me Sierra Chart have crashed. And if I wait long enough, the system memories is bloated to a huge number - without loading the charts. The only other symbol that I look at but is remotely similar to the above 4 symbols is the $TXCX. See attached screen shot of Task Manager statistics on all 5 instances of Sierra Chart and noticed the circled one. If I do not load this particular symbol(s), Sierra Chart is normal. Please fix / discuss / investigate, etc. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-05-08 15:02:59

It is not those symbols themselves causing a problem. That would be completely impossible. Update to the current version of Sierra Chart which is 1406. Make sure you do not apply any studies to those charts and make sure there is not a Study Collection automatically applied which is applying studies. Most likely the problem is related to a study.

Ah, well. It is the Volume by Price study. After I removed it, the above symbols loaded fine. May be there were too many data points but frankly it is not a problem for other symbols? Even with the Volume by Price study. |
