Hello, Im brand new to sierra, a fellow of mine sent me a chartbook to which I cant seem to load it successfully.
I am only on a trial at the moment so its Demo.

I have attached a couple of pictures, I have saved the chartbook into SC , Data and when I load the chartbook on the platform I have to chose All files to see the chartbook I want, its not saved as .cht.

Also when I open chart settings after loading the chartbook, the chartbook file appears where the futures symbol should be.

It looks like they sent you a Study Collection. This is very different from a Chartbook. You can tell it's a Study Collection by the extension of .StdyCollct, a Chartbook (as you note) has an extension of .cht.

In order to use the Study Collection, you need to have a Chartbook open with a Chart (symbol) open, and then apply the Study Collection to that chart. You will find the documentation for this here:

To use a Study Collection, refer to this particular documentation:
How to Use an Advanced Custom Study or a Study Collection: How to Use a Study Collection

You cannot open it as a chart data file as you have tried.
