Can't get it to work with IB. I am requesting a full redownload of some fx symbols (1000 days) and only get about 20 from the IB backfill service. My settings: "Support alterante fx historical data" is checked, Intraday storage time unit: 5 seconds Max days to download, non-tick:1000, 1 tick:10

We needed to add the necessary mapping for these symbols. This is now done. Update the Symbol Settings as explained here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalSymbolSettings.php#UpdateSettings Try re-downloading the data again now.

I have made several changes to the default symbol settings. What is the most efficient way to download the new ones and reenter my settings?

You can do this through the XML file. Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalSymbolSettings.php#DirectEditingGlobalSymbolSettingsUnderlyingFile You should make a copy of that GlobalSymbolSettings.XML file first before updating.

Thank you. I see the mapping is just two fields (fxcm and the SC symbol). Can I just copy this to other symbols (a few IB fx symbol mappings are missing)?
