Before I start trading I open multiple charts containing option symbols. Recently I have found the charts are not populating.

This has just recently started happening in the new year. Using IB symbol formats.

Restart Sierra Chart, and open only one options chart, connect to the data feed, wait a couple of minutes, and post a copy of the Message Log following these instructions here:
Support Board Posting Information: How to Post Your Message Log (Required In Some Cases)

Once again only open one chart and no others. We do not want to be bombarded by information.
