Hi,

I day trade US stock.
When I found some stocks I'm interested in, I input the Symbol to SC.
And then it takes a long time to load if this symbol never load before.
Is there any way to download all US STOCK symbol data files in one time?
So I could keep datas new when the market close.
I use SC data feed BTW.
If this function had not been provided, could I just download intraday data only when I open a symbol I hadn't open before?

Best Regards,TianYu

For this you definitely need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed which you are currently using:

What you can do is add the symbols that you want to maintain data for all the time, to the Intraday File Update List:

You can also reduce the number of days of Intraday data downloaded:

When opening an Intraday chart, only Intraday data is download. So we do not understand why you ask the question.

I set it up according to your advice, it works.
"When opening an Intraday chart, only Intraday data is download. So we do not understand why you ask the question."
I think it's because I have a multi day 5 Minute chart on my chart book and it link to my intraday chart too.
So, when I change my intraday chart Symbol, that multi day 5 Minute chart will begin downloading other days data.
As soon as I reduce the data as your suggest above, it's more quicker now.
Thanks for help.
