No suggestions from our side. Transact will need to resolve.

The Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On is disabled.

And I ran the experiment again. Doesn't work

I'll take it up with TransAct

A disaster, really a disaster I have no other words....

Price lags 1 second in normal condition and 4/5 seconds in fast market
Total freezing on market close

What's going on?

I contacted transact support....they suggest to set chart update to 800 ms, lol

Your comment?

I installed the build 1941 and it seems to work fine

Please explain the reason for that

Every Transact user has to use this version (1941) to avoid issues?
Since I have to pay Sierra every month, I need to know what I have to do, and if the version 1941 is the solution for now and if this build has no other issues with their WS

Thank you.

Read post#17 and #18 above carefully. The answer is there.

TL;DR - use 1941 as data feed source and latest version(s) as destination.

In regards to post #105 we do believe this is a server-side issue. The chart update interval is totally irrelevant here.

And we want to make one comment where we have said, that the connectivity using the websocket connection, is definitely better than the bridge program. This is a statement from our perspective, and regarding the method of connectivity and the directness to the Transact server, and the degree of control Sierra Chart has over the connectivity. It is absolutely superior but if the websocket feed has a problem from the server, well then it will be worse than the old bridge. But this is not something which our statements are in relation to.

In regards to post #106 it may be the best thing to stay with 1941. You can also look at other supported Trading services.

Updated from 1941 to current version and all TPO charts are blank. Since I use Transact, do I need to update something within SC?

In regards to post #111 and TPO charts, we can call you to look into this. Let us know if that is fine.

Transact says:
Up until now, Level 5 SC features (profile, numbers bars, etc.) were not blocked from use by Level 3 subscribers. Now they are. this was done by Sierra Chart not us.

so an additional charge of $10/mo is necessary to activate level 5 through Transact...between slow data transfer with Transact websocket connection and now this, it has been quite frustrating for last few months

Yes, Transact did have a favorable benefit in this regard mainly for simplicity with billing, but this was brought in line with the same price that everyone receives for the Advanced features .

.between slow data transfer with Transact websocket connection
This is going to be a Transact market data feed issue.

We also offer Transact users special pricing and this is explained here:

So to be clear, to receive the 30% off level 5 I must access through SC or through Tansact?

Thank you

In this particular case you would be paying for Sierra Chart yourself.

You should have a shortcut on your desktop for starting Sierra Chart. So you will want to use that going forward and just pay for usage time as explained here:

Is that discount on top of the discount from paying annually? i am a Transact user but have also had my own direct Sierra account for awhile, in order to use Sierra for stocks as well as futures, and currently pay annually. Am I eligible for this discount in addition? and if so, what do i need to do to receive it (i've recently renewed and paid)

No it is not an additional discount.

I know you have been dealing with this for a while, but v. 1997 and now 2006 lagging in rapid movement environment with Transact..Is it on their end or SC?
Their DOM does not lag, just the charts. Spoke with them
and they seem to think it is possibly a issue with SC.
Any suggestions?

Sierra Chart Engineering - Posts: 104368
Data lagging is always going to be an issue external to Sierra Chart:
Prices / Data Falling Behind

And if 2006 still experiences it, then Transact still has not resolved the problem. It definitely could not be an issue within Sierra Chart. Their own trading software uses a completely different data feed. And it is also a UDP feed.

Lag time today with oil futures was as much as 30 sec. before charts matched transact Dom.
I will discuss with them since you are sure on your end. Frustrating

Yes we are 100 percent certain the issue could not be on the Sierra Chart side.

Still having issues with lag in data for transact/ web socket. Having spoke with them this morning. They say their aware of the issue and at times the data bundles clog and are working with you folks to resolve web socket data transfer. Is this so?

Will switching to version 1941 temporarily resolve the problem until transact gets web socket able to transfer data at all times.
Thank you

They really do not need to involve us in this, unless there is some change in the protocol. We have not heard from them regarding this. However, we have made it clear to Transact, that Sierra Chart has very efficient and well designed receiving and processing of the data.

Yes switching back to 1941 is a temporary solution.
