The CTS symbol for CL is CL.CME_20140100_CLF4.CME_NY and the price on the charts is represented as 9310

Price Display Format = 1
Tick Size = 1.000000
Volume at Price Multiplier = 1

The Historical symbol has been set as CL# and the price on the charts is represented as 93.10

Price Display Format = .01
Tick Size = 0.010000
Volume at Price Multiplier = 1

I am unable to make the Daily OHLC overlay on the Intraday charts properly.

On this chartbook, the windows are all linked and I would like this to work for ALL symbols typed into the Intraday chart.

1) Is it possible to format the historical and intraday symbols the same?
2) Should I see [M] after enabling the SC rtdf?

#1) The issue has been solved by choosing "Use Primary Service Server" for the Historical Daily Data Source.

#2) I still cannot tell if the SC rtdf is enabled.

1. Yes that is one solution or adjusting the Historical Price Multiplier in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings 2 for the Historical Daily chart.

2. You should see the [M] indicator after symbol. If you do not, restart Sierra Chart and provide a copy of the Message Log, by following these steps:

Also make sure the symbol settings are up to date:

The symbol settings do not make sense. The main Symbol should be the standard CTS T4 symbol. For example: CL.CME_20140100_CLF4.CME_NY.

Trade and Current Quote Symbol should be empty. Sierra Chart will automatically handle the necessary mapping to the symbol used by the Sierra Chart real-time server. There is nothing to do on your side.

This is not making sense. It works for us:
http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1385978652965.png

We did have a look at the Message Log. We see where it indicates there is no mapping found, but there clearly should be.

We recommend opening a new chart for that symbol through File >> Find Symbol and reconnecting to the data feed using the commands on the File menu.

I did one more symbol reset and this time I did not update the time zone or set the round turn commission.

Now the [M] appears for CL.CME_20140100_CLF4.CME_NY

Back to the other question regarding Data Throughput and Buffering.
If I choose Trade Only, it reverts back to Smart Trade after stopping/starting SC and when disconnecting/connecting with F11.

I do not want 2 data streams arriving.

How do we know that SC is only receiving the SC rtdf and not the CTS rtdf?

OK, we see what the problem is. This issue will be resolved in the next release.

If you see [M] by the symbol, then you can be assured that there is no data from CTS being used for that symbol.
