I stopped receiving data for london Platinum and Palladium (symbols XPTUSD and XPDUSD from CFD tab) on 11th of June.

I have tried several things but nothing seems to work... the rest of symbols work fine. Any idea why this happened?

We can see that FXCM is no longer providing data for these symbols:

Symbol Error - XPDUSD is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. Received a Market Data Request Reject message. (MDReqID: MD83; RejectReason: 0) Reason: No symbols found matching this request: XPD/USD | 2016-06-15 06:54:57

Symbol Error - XPTUSD is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. Received a Market Data Request Reject message. (MDReqID: MD84; RejectReason: 0) Reason: No symbols found matching this request: XPT/USD | 2016-06-15 06:54:58

We will ask them about this.

Any news?

I tried using continuous contracts of Platinum futures (symbol "PL-201607-NYMEX") and Palladium futures (PA-201609-NYMEX-USD-100) but the historical chart of Platinum futures starts from 2000 (a bit disappointing) and I get only 6 months of intraday data for Palladium futures... I find this insufficient since I use long-term range-bar charts to trade. I like to get at least 5-6 years of intraday data.

XPTUSD and XPDUSD worked really well for me.

Any idea how can I sort this out?

Real-time data is no longer available for these symbols: XPTUSD and XPDUSD.

However, historical data is. Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php#UpdateSettings

When that is done, select Edit >> Download Data for All Historical Charts.


To get longer-term Intraday data requires that you use the Continuous Futures Contract feature:

If there is any missing data, refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html#ReDownloading

You will get a lot more than 6 months of Intraday data for those symbols.
