I'm aware, that currently Quote Boards do not use chart data, but use the Current Quote data values provided by the data feed. I there a chance / are there plans, that in the near future, Quote Boards do use chart data or the information defined in the Symbol Settings (the defined End Time)? The reason I'm asking for that is, that for many markets / underlyings the daily change calculations (absolute and %) are not correct and thus totally useless or even misleading. I've tried different workarounds but all have their limitations, as there are for example: 1. Spreadsheet Study (new Spreadsheets): Automatic highlighting of a cell (e.g. when new high/low occurs) is not possible, autocoloring of a spreadsheet value based on +/- is not possible, Last Tick field is not supported within a spreadsheet (only for Quote Spreadsheets). 2. Spreadsheet Study using Excel: This makes pretty much everything possible in regards of formatting, but the performance is so low/bad, which make a normal working with SC impossible (even with a i7, SSD ... PC). I've seen quite a few other users stumbling over this problem too. It would be nice if you could find a solution, to provide the correct values for the daily change (based on the defined End Time in the Symbol Settings) in the Quote Board, to make the Quote Board much more valuable than it is right now.

I'm using Quote Boards with the following symbols for these Data services. AMP/TTNet: Futures: DAX, EuroStoxx 50, Bund, 30yr T-Bonds, ES, YM, NQ, Crude Oil, Gold Forex (I suppose this is coming from SC): EURUSD, USDJPY TeleTrader: Indices: DAX and Nasdaq Sector Indices I would be great, if the calculation of the Daily Price Change could be based on the data (last price) defined as End Time in the Symbol Settings.

I would be great, if the calculation of the Daily Price Change could be based on the data (last price) defined as End Time in the Symbol Settings. There is 0% chance we would do this. And we mean exactly 0%. Please do not ask us about this again. It will not come. Quote Boards are not designed for that kind of capability. AMP/TTNet cannot be changed. We can add an option to the TeleTrader service to use a different value which may or may not have an effect. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

We can add an option to the TeleTrader service to use a different value which may or may not have an effect. Please try that and let's hope, that the values will then be correct. Otherwise it would be better to take off the fields "DylChange" and "DylChange%" as these values are wrong and thus misleading.

We can add an option to the TeleTrader service to use a different value which may or may not have an effect. Have you added the option to the TeleTrader service yet? Where can it be found?

I've updated to Prerelease 1378. I can't find a new setting or new field in the Quote Board. Or is there just a different close price used for the calculation?
