Is the goal to have all products and spreads available?
We will set up what users need.

Is there a list somewhere of what is currently available?
No.

We are not maintaining historical market depth data for spreads.

Extended and historical market depth data for TN will go into effect over the weekend.

How to limit the days of automatic downloading historical market depth data? Looks like SC is always downloading the recent 15 days. I would like to limit it to the current day or current day -1

We need to add a separate setting for this. We will do that. Right now it is controlled by these particular settings:

A separate setting for depth download is perfect. Thanks!

Are historical depth files supposed to be stored within the \Data\MarketDepthData subdir? I followed steps listed in posts 1 and 12 above, restarted & all that, and scrolled back 15 days then R click and 'Download Depth Data from Date-Time'...no visible change, and no new .depth files in that subdir.

I'm looking at COMEX HG (Copper) futures, got the HGH21 intraday chart loaded, and have Denali-All Services with NYMEX and COMEX non-pro w/ depth enabled.

The answer is yes. However, the most important question is whether you see the historical market depth data showing up on the chart when using the Market Depth Historical Graph study.:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=375#Market_Depth_Historical_Graph

If not, then follow these instructions:

Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Right-click on the chart somewhere and select 'Download Depth Data from Date-Time'

After about 2 minutes provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:

Re: seeing the historical depth w MDHG study, currently, no...I am on Service Package 3 (IIRC Pkg 5 is needed for this study, please confirm). I do have the 'Depth of Market Data' study applied.

Sierra Chart Engineering - Posts: 104368
Yes you do need the Advanced Service Package for that study. But we can tell if the Historical market depth data is getting downloaded from the Message Log.

Steps I took before copying log:
1) launch SC & clear Message Log
2) open Chartbook with 1 Chart window - intraday tick chart of HGH21 (COMEX Copper Mar '21), 15 days to load per Chart Settings
3) scrolled to earliest time in Chart, R clicked and selected 'Download Depth Data from Date-Time'
4) waited 5 minutes to see if Message Log reported anything pertaining to Step (3)

Ok we see what the problem is. You need to translate the symbols to the new format. Instructions:
Edit Menu: Edit >> Translate Symbols To Current Service

And you can rename the existing market depth files to the new symbol format. The files are located in:

Sierra Chart Engineering - Posts: 104368
Yes that setting will be in the new Data/Trade Service Settings window which we are working on. Should be out maybe in about a week or so.

Will this ability to download market depth have any impact on having the pullstack data avail for backtesting? Right now all pullstack's are 0 if you do ANY modifications to the chart they are working on.

Supposing I run a Chartbook once per week, which contains several Charts/symbols that I want to keep accumulating historical depth data for - will all of the historical depth of the interim days be auto-downloaded/backfilled, or do I need to scroll back in each Chart to the last time the Chartbook was open, and select 'Download Depth Data from Date-Time'?

Perhaps this is in the same vein of inquiry as post #36...

We need specific instructions to reproduce this:
Right now all pullstack's are 0 if you do ANY modifications to the chart they are working on.
We would not expect this to be the case.

will all of the historical depth of the interim days be auto-downloaded/backfilled,
Yes.

Hello Sierra Chart Engineering,

Any idea when you will offer access to historical market depth data further back than 12/10/2020?
[2021-01-02 14:38:26]

Regarding #36 and the settings to limit days of downloading market depth I can't find any valid setting therefore. Is this still in development?

This has not yet been released. We will get this out as soon as we can.

@ticinotrader I've fouled up and lost some historical depth data.

Do you perhaps have NYMEX or ICE crude oil futures from April 20, 2020 in SC market depth format?

I cannot download this as it is older than 6 months therefore deleted from SC servers.

Hi, I had a similar issue - need help with market depth historical graph / heatmap - not showing all data

Do you allow this for XBT (bitcoin futures) from bitmex - I can't seem to download histroical data - only does it when Im connected to the feed

There is no historical market depth data provided for BitMex symbols.

Hello, would you please answer 2 questions for me?

1. Does historical depth data support nyse/nasdaq stocks?

2. Does DTC protocol support historical depth data download? Or plan to support?

Thanks!

1. Not at this time but we will look at that functionality, for our new upcoming NASDAQ data feed.

2. Yes it does, but it is not yet implemented in Sierra Chart.

Hello,

I found depth files are inconsistent between downloads.

Here's the details:

File: ESZ21-CME.2021-10-01.depth
First download date: Oct 2, 2021
Redownload again on: Oct 16, 2021

Let's call the first download v1 and the redownload v2.

Here's the difference:

File size: v1 = 335,496,712 bytes, v2 = 335,462,080 bytes

Are you updating those depth files after the trading date? and Why?

Thanks.

Potentially there can be differences compared to what is downloaded from the server as historical data and what is recorded in real time. Why there would be a difference, is not something we would look into but it would not surprise us. The files are not changed on the server.
