I'm testing the Bitmex data feed with SC...just set up a SC chart account and installed the software. I can connect to Bitnet-Testnet but I cannot load any data on a chart. In the log I get a red error saying that the historical data failed...

I can't imagine how I am going to test this combination if there is no intraday historical data... ?? I don't care about even a week ago, I need to see the last two days...to the current moment.

I shut down SC and restarted once or twice. Here is some of the log

Where did you get this symbol from?:
XBTBUSD-BMEXT

It is not a valid symbol.

Follow step numbers 9 and 10 here:

yes, I did that...steps 9 and 10

the symbol came from the list downloaded in step 9

I want to access the perpetual contract....on the BITMEX chart (on their web interface), the symbol is XBTUSD. It does not have a futures expire date.

thank you

It seems the correct symbol is XBTUSD-BMEXT

I am getting data for that...thanks
