Translate symbols without re-downloading data

It looks like using Translate Symbols when switching between trade services forces a complete re-download of files in your charts under the new naming convention. This is a problem for those of us with poor internet connections. Is there any problem with just renaming the .SCID files to the new service's naming convention so they don't have to be re-downloaded? Or something less manually intense? I was expecting SC to be a little smarter about this. Key point: I'm using Denali, so presumably the content of these files is exactly identical regardless of the naming convention of any particular provider I switch between. |

There are too many issues that could occur in terms of copying files. It is best to let the system redownload the data for the new symbols. If you want to limit the amount of historical data that gets downloaded, then refer to the following: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DataSourceSettings.php#MaxHistoricalIntradayDaysToDownload For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-04-05 14:28:44

I would like to follow-up on this post. I don't understand why Sierra Chart would download duplicate data when changing between trading services, especially when Denali is being using for market data. I have two trading accounts, one through Rithmic and one through Teton. And as said before my market data is coming through Denali. I'm connecting to Teton once a month in order to qualify for non-professional market data. It doens't make sense to me that this would then trigger re-download of data, which would be coming from Denali as well so would be exact duplicates. What I mean to say is that the market data is not coming from the live trading account, either Ritmic or Teton. In either situation market data is coming from Denali. Appreciate your answer. |

The data has to be downloaded separately for each service because the internal pricing format is different, between the services and the symbols are different.
