I went through the effort of adding a few of the more traded MSCI index futures. Here's the XML to incorporate it for others to use:

For some reason however I can't get intraday data to work with SC data even though it's using barchart (via ice.us) and they should have the data. It's even listed on Sierra's own symbol page: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php&SymbolsPage=Futures#iceus

We have to ask Barchart why they are not providing real-time data for these particular symbols. We are doing that now.

We are also adding these Symbol Settings for Interactive Brokers users.

From Barchart:

The MSCI Indices are not available through the feed. They are only available EOD, I believe there are different license or regulatory reasons why. We pull them from the ICE EOD file. If you need specifics I can ask ICE.

Barchart needs to fix that then - they're part of NY Liffe which is under ICEUS. If people are paying for a data connection to ICEUS then they're obligated to get real time data for these symbols.

This is Barcharts latest response:

I double checked this and I think we can get these. If so hopefully they will start coming down tonight.
