Hi,

when i scroll through my quoteboard, Sierra chart always takes a long time to re-download the data
this seems weird, as i would expect the majority of the data to be on my pc already
i am connected to IB and have a Sierrachart data package
is this data i am downloading comming from IB (because it seems so slow) or Sierra ?
and is there anything i can do to speed up this process

thank you

Yes the data is coming from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and most of the data is already on your system. Only the most recent missing data is being downloaded. Not sure why that would be slow. Refer to:
Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Improving Historical Intraday Data Downloading Performance

Those charts are Continuous Futures Contract charts. Might be best not to link a Quote Board to a continuous futures contract chart. Refer to the following setting:
Chart Settings: Continuous Contract (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)
