I am trying to set up the charts with IB data and SC historical data and understand I have to use a multiplier of 100, my question is how do you do this with a list of stock? Is there a video on how to do this?

Thanks

You can set the Volume Multiplier in the Global Symbol Settings for a symbol pattern which will match with multiple symbols. Refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalSymbolSettings.php


You really should use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed instead though:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php

That is going to be the easiest way. Otherwise, you are going to have a lot of difficulties relating to stock volume data.

OK i
I've done the Symbol Pattern Characters for all the ????-STK that there are also did update from server and full list Apply Global Symbol Settings and Edit >> Delete All Data and Download. and the charts are still showing values without multiplier?
What am I doing wrong?
I need to become profitable before subscribing to your data as it adds an extra expense I can't afford now so would be nice to get this resolved!

Therefore you need to set the Volume Multiplier on the ???? and the ??? patterns. It must be those patterns and no other pattern.

If you are using a symbol like ABC-STK-SMART, then you would use this pattern:
???-STK-SMART.

If the pattern does not exist we can add it.

I'm now assuming that you cann't use IB data with SC data on intraday charts as I still can't get this to work???? And I am still getting a full year of intraday data even though I have it checked to only download 10 days??? I attached the settings

This is the setting which controls how much Intraday data is downloaded:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DataSourceSettings.php#MaxHistoricalIntradayDaysToDownload

For the record, your own screenshot shows that about six months of data was downloaded and that is what is specified. Not one year!

If you want to use the Interactive Brokers data only, follow through the instructions at step 2 here:

Yes you are right it is about 6 month, sorry, just getting a little frustrated as i see the potential, just hard to get it set up!

I'm sorry if I keep going back to this same ? but is it possible to have IB data with the SC backup data, have other users been able to get it to work?

And I did apply Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings. as outlined but as I have multiple tabs open of the same symbol ranging in time frames now all the tab charts load 10 days even the ones I want to load 60 days to a year worth of data, how can I get this to have separate settings for each tab chart?
I was using the chart setting number of days to load but was getting the 6 months of data when I had 10 days in settings!

Thanks again for your time and more importantly your patients :)

You need to follow through these instructions:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Using Sierra Chart Historical Data


I was using the chart setting number of days to load but was getting the 6 months of data when I had 10 days in settings!

This is controlled by this setting:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DataSourceSettings.php#MaxHistoricalIntradayDaysToDownload

If you want some charts to have six months of data, there must be six months in the chart data file. There is no other possibility whatsoever.

This setting controls how much data is actually loaded into an individual chart:

We cannot spend further time on this particular subject. Further support on this particular subject will require a paid account.
