Hello SC Support v1072 CTS T4 6E 1. an intraday chart 180 days 2. Continuous Futures Contract set to Date Rule Rollover 3. save all and exit SC 4. start SC and load that chartbook or open that chart again SC starts to download the historical data as it has no data at all. HD Request * does the job again /looks like it requests the data from the historical server but not from *.scid/

Actually further testing shows that this problem was already resolved. Can you confirm what version you are running. And when you select Chart >>Reload and Recalculate, do you notice the historical Intraday data gets downloaded again for at least one of the contracts?

We found the problem. This has to do with when downloading historical data from the CTS T4 system. This is going to be resolved in our next release.

Version 1073 has been released. We apologize for the delay. If you still have difficulty, let us know. But our testing shows that this should work properly now for CTS T4. However, there are going to be cases, where a re-download could occur where there is insufficient data obtained from the particular data or trading service. We do not expect this would be the case with CTS T4. This could be the case when using Interactive Brokers and you are not using the Sierra Chart data feed. So there are some trading service data feeds, which are just not acceptable to be used with the Continuous Futures Contract feature in Sierra Chart. If there does to continue to be a re-download problem, we will think about how to solve this. The reason this occurs is because Sierra Chart makes sure the necessary data for the chart is downloaded, and if not it will be downloaded.

SC Support v1074 I can confirm the issue is still there. Why SC removes the data from previous_contract.scid again and again? I'm not a programmer to pour forth advices but this looks strange. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-01-07 21:48:57

Install version 1075 and let us know if you have this problem. There were some additional changes made relating to historical data downloading from CTS T4. After the changes we made, we cannot duplicate the issue. Although we could not duplicate it earlier either. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

SC Support I've tested v 1075 already. Now SC doesn't remove the data from previous_contract.scid but it still downloads a previous_contract as the data is not presented It makes the option unuseful. Is it not possible to check the latest record for the previous_contract.scid to prevent the fresh download. Although we could not duplicate it earlier either. Why? Are you using the live server for the tests? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-01-08 03:16:36

SC Support FYI: Mirus has reverted to the pure Rithmic and they are trying to provide SC +T4 as the advanced solution for EUREX, ICE, using OCO and so on. Some reps starts to teach the customers how to use SC. At this moment of the time the unproper conditions for T4 using SC may really harm the reputation, imho. With best regards.

We are aware of what Mirus is doing and we have also contacted Cunningham Trading Systems about their historical data request model and have suggested critical improvements. The way it works, is not efficient. We do take this issue seriously, and we have made changes to further improve historical data downloading from CTS T4 and correct issues which could cause data to be re-downloaded. We are doing testing on the live server. Could you please do the following: 1. Clear the Sierra Chart message log using the Clear Log button. 2. Go to the Continuous Futures Contract chart that is causing data to be downloaded and select Chart >> Reload on the menu. 3. After all of the data downloading is done provide us a copy of the Message Log. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

SC Support In order to solve the problem using an old chartbook I've deleted 6E*.scid and I've opened the chartbook. This solves the issue. I'll provide the info to other traders. Thank you for the Perfect Support!
