Hello

I have just set up sierra charts for the first time. I have set up my chartbook etc.. and I just have a couple of questions I can't seem to find info on.

1)I know how to add symbols to a watchlist but I would like to add 100 stock symbols and have all data downloaded for each. I understand I need to manually type in each symbol but is there a more efficient way of adding a list of symbols? And is there an efficient way to download the data for all symbols at once?

2) Once I have all data downloaded for each symbol, when I log back in each day, will any missing data (backfilling) for all 100 symbols be done automatically?
3) Can you please direct me to some info on how I stop microsoft antimalware from scanning scid files?
4) I use a daily, weekly & 60 min chart. Is there a chart setting that allows the crosshairs to hgihlight the same price area on each chart at the same time?

thanks

1. Refer to:
Changing the Symbol of a Chart: Importing a List of Symbols
Global Settings Menu: Intraday File Update List (Global Settings menu)


2. Yes the program will automatically download any data that was not already received.

3. Given all the different anti-virus software out there, we do not have specific information on any of them. You will have to see what you can find online for how to stop your anti-malware software from scanning .scid files.

4. Yes, refer to the information here for how to get the Crosshairs to display at the same time and price level in multiple charts. Also be sure to look at the 3 sections following this one which gives other options for how to manage the display of the crosshairs with multiple charts:
Chart Drawing Tools: Global Cursor (Tools >> Global Cursor On)
