Firstly I read the documentation and tried to understand other's behavior by reading the support board regarding alerts and scanning. I watch 60 pairs (liquid selections of LMAX FX symbols and Bitmex Crypto symbols). I currently use a single chartbook for all. This chartbook has 9 charts for the same pair with different time frames. (monthly, weekly, daily, 4hourly, hourly, 15M, 5M, and 1M). I have study alerts for these charts (daily, 4hourly, hourly, 15M, 5M, and 1M) As I get alerts from 1M charts I need my scan interval to be at least 1 minute apparently. Now When I study I concluded that I can use 4 approaches: Scanning Considerations: 1. Remote computer option a. Single chart: each minute continuous scan should run at the remote computer. b. All charts are open: chartbooks should be created for each symbol. Alert messages should be taken from the remote computer to a trading computer. 2. Single computer option: a. Singlechart: continuous scan is consuming too much system resources. This is not a viable option for me. My second monitor (connected via USB) is also thrown from the memory so It should be fixed. b. All charts are open at the trading computer: alert message options should be tested with chart update interval option. I'm wondering what would be your suggestion? I'm considering of running a remote computer and getting its alert manager logs to my trading computer. How can I do that? While I'm researching my options I see an option under General Settings, Alerts/General 3 which is Enable remote alerts. When reading the documentation I could not find any explanation about it.https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GeneralSettings.html#Tab_General3 Does it help me to achieve what I need to achieve? Thanks. Ilim |

Hi again, Have you had a chance to look at it? Thanks. |

We are starting to look at this now. In the case of remote alerts, it requires the instance of Sierra Chart where you want to access the alerts, is connected to the instance of Sierra Chart being used as a server and would access the same data feed. We just need to do some testing and update the documentation. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

We apologize for the delay. We are quite busy. We have prepared documentation for Remote Alerts here: General Settings Window: Enable Remote Alerts (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts >> Remote Alerts) To answer your original questions: We think it is best to have all the charts open that you want to have alerts from rather than performing any scanning. So you can get an alert at any moment based upon the configuration of the chart, its symbol, and studies and the alert formula. You can run this on a remote instance and use the remote alert feature to get these in a client instance of Sierra Chart. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you for your reply. I read the related section for DTC Server and client configuration. I could not figure out how I can configure the server and client to get only alert messages as DTC protocol allows the sharing of the market data and trading functionality of the server instance of Sierra Chart to other instances of Sierra Chart. I just need to retrieve alerts from the DTC Server. Is that possible? If yes how? If not, what should be the leanest approach as I need market data and trading functionality on client instance? Thank you and happy new year. |

Yes that is true. It is not possible to limit the connection to just alerts. The connection will also be used for market data and trading. So it is not possible to just receive alerts remotely. If you do not need to be looking at the charts all of the time that would be generating alerts you can just put those into a Chartbook on your local instance of Sierra Chart . This Chartbook would be open but not visible and then you could enable this option: General Settings Window: Destroy Chart Windows when Hidden (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Application GUI) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you for the answer. How can I make a chartbook open but "not visible" before enabling destroy chart windows when hidden option? There is "hide window option" under window menu. Should I use this one? Thanks. |

Well what we thought you would do is just keep that Chartbook hidden by opening another one with File >> New Chartbook. You could also hide a chart window through the Window menu.

I handled by hiding each chart one by one. Thanks. |
