Hello,

I am trying to connect the Sierra chart with the IB. In a point of 14. "Specify the Maximum historical intraday days to download" I left the number 186. The data are now downloading over 4 hours and it has not been finished yet. It is normal or there is a problem?

I now that I was supposted to put on a small number but I had not noticed it.

Thank you
Mike

Hello,

One question please. If I am connected to IB and try "Find symbol" where can I find future index for NQ, YM, ES, FS, TF? It is "IB indexes" or "Indexes (real time)?

And If I want to trade from now, can I do it just from Sierra chart and it will be executed on a particular market?

Thank you
Mike
