Hi There,

1. I have IQ Feed and trading with Transact set up. I use two copies of SC (one with IQ Feed "source SC" the other to use IQ Feed (remote data)and send orders to Transact "destination SC"). I created a chart-book with the source SC and copied it to the data folder of the destination SC. With the current SC version (967) I have not been able to change the symbol on the destination SC chart-book to a remote data symbol (as I was able to do with previous SC versions). If I use the File>Find Symbol>Instance a totally new chart is open, either Historical or Intraday, and therefore, I loose all the settings and studies of the chart I'm trying to use.

2. Also, I noticed that when working with a chart-book in my destination SC with a remote data symbol, the top left corner of the chart shows the symbol as @ESM13[R] (which is correct according to your manual), however, when I add the Alternate Real-Time Update Symbol with the Transact Symbol, the chart symbol in the top left corner of the chart changes to ESM3[R]. This gives the impression that the chart is using a remote data symbol (because of the [R] but with a local SC symbol (ESM3). I'm not sure if this is correct (Data from remote symbol @ESM13 and trading with ESM3)or that I'm not using the intended remote data (@ESM13). Previous SC version would show on the top left corner as @ESM13[R] when using Chart>Symbol>@ESM13 and Chart>Alternate Real-Time Update Symbol>ESM3.

3. Quick comment on New Support Board. When searching through old posts, browser back button does not return to previous page, but instead browser requests for "Confirm Form Resubmission". This does not happen with Old Support Board posts.

Thanks
