Since you have activated a futures exchange and a stock/equities exchange (BATS), the symbol limit is:
In the case of the 10 symbol limit, when using both equities exchanges, and futures or indices exchanges, then the real-time symbol limit is as follows: equities will have a limit of 9 real-time symbols. And futures and indices will have a limit of 4 symbols.

We can change the limit to 100 instead of 10. Let us know if you want us to do that.

Is there an increase in fees to move to 100? I do a limited number of each but would like to be able to watch 7 futures 3 stocks, if given the provisioning choice.

Yes it is USD10 a month more. A 10 symbol limit is just too tight because once Sierra Chart tracks a symbol, it continues to track that symbol until reconnecting to the data feed even if the chart is no longer open.


It is really meant for user just looking at two or three symbols and this is all.

would it be possible to just set it to 7:3. i watch the same things over and over. understood on tracking symbol till restart and will increase to the larger allocation if it causes me problems. i really need more futures than just 4, i hadnt noticed i lost so many when i activated BATS a couple weeks ago.

We need to make a correction to the symbol limits. They are now documented correctly at post #2 above.
