On software trial, also on SC realtime data trial

But only enable CME and HKFE, no US equities, this was done on 1-8-2018. I would assume I can still get 'delayed' historical, but all my stocks on the 'Intraday File Update List' stopped receiving even delayed intraday data since 1-5-2018, unless explicitly put into a chart.. Is there anything I need to 'configure'? The Data/Trade Services config page only have 'ALL SC data services' grouped together... BTW, Since I am NOT using any of the charting/DOM/quoteboard/trade/spreedsheet/other GUI functions of SC, just use it as the DTC server/data-in/trade-in/out platform to brokers/datafeeds, what's the best way to make sure all my watched 'symbols'(across multiple exchanges) all have realtime data feeds?

Yes this is true. You would need to have the charts open for the stock symbols for them to update if real-time data is not available for them. You really should just activate the US equities exchange. That is the easiest thing to do. You will then not need the charts open.

OK Thanks for the notes. On the 2nd part of the Qs, what's the best (defined as min resources on SC) way to configure SC so that all my watched symbols get real-time data for the purpose of serving DTC clients? I am not using tick level, 30 sec is the smallest granularity. |

Are these DTC clients used by you only?

Yes, for my own matlab trading ONLY. Watch list are roughly 200 US stocks, HKFE's HSI, and roughly 10 CME futures. a python (thanks to DTC and google protobuf!) module will get 1-min data from SC DTC server every 30sec, matlab will do the algo and issue trade/order managements to IB. <-- I don't have time right now to eval trading API in DTC/SC but if it's good then I might move the matlab trade/order management to python/DTC. |

OK we understand. There really is nothing special you need to do within the main instance of Sierra Chart acting as a server. You just need to request market data from the DTC server for the symbols and the data for them will be maintained from the real-time data as long as you have activated the exchanges for those symbols.

" You just need to request market data from the DTC server for the symbols" --> I guess this is my question. Shall I put all of the watched symbols on a quoteboard? Obviously putting all symbols in charts or dom will not be a good choice... |

You could use the Intraday File Update List but what we are referring to is a proper market data request: Market Data Messages: MARKET_DATA_REQUEST [s_MarketDataRequest structure] Client >> Server Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

1) I am using DTC historical quotes requesting for 1-min bar from SC, every 30 sec. Since I am not dealing with real-time ticks and I don't care about all other market stats like new High/Low, I'd prefer NOT to use market_data_request paradigm. Unless there's a way to say issue a market data request of a symbol, and just don't care about the server responses, just to tell SC to start receiving real-time data. 2) Another choice is I put say all 200 symbols on a quoteboard, just to tell SC to collect realtime data of these 200 symbols. 3) DTC historical data is from intraday file (not in SC memory), so setting the intraday file flush time to 2000ms (2s) for 200 symbols OK? Remember, SC has one quoteboard open, no other GUI/chart/DOM/whatever open, and serves as the DTC server ONLY. 4) The Quoteboard update time (default 800ms) should not affect my operation? If so, will setting it to say 1min be even better? Also reduce the quoteboard to just one display column of say 'last' help too? |

Just use the Global Settings >>Intraday File Update List: Global Settings Menu: Intraday File Update List (Global Settings menu) And make sure you have activated the exchanges for the symbols you require in real-time. This is all you need to do. Nothing more. so setting the intraday file flush time to 2000ms (2s) for 200 symbols OK? This will be fine.
