The Data/Trade Service Settings are found in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings.

If you are using TransAct for your broker (which we assume given your Account Name), then if you have not already setup your Sierra Chart, then you will follow these instructions to connect your Sierra Chart to TransAct:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TransAct.php#SetupInstructions

Note that the image on that page for the Data/Trade Service Settings is old and the page you actually bring up will look different. Refer to the information at the following link for how to work with these new windows:
Settings Windows Interface

Once you are setup, then you will use the File >> Find Symbol to find a symbol for which you want to open a chart. Refer to the following:
Getting Started, Opening Charts and Basic Trading: Open Chart

It was our understanding that you could still open Sierra Chart using the same mechanism that you did before. You would need to ask Infinity/TransAct if they changed this.

In the meantime, you should have an icon on your desktop for Sierra Chart itself, so you should be able to start Sierra Chart from the icon. If that works, and you do not mind, then it may just be easiest to continue to start the TransAct/Infinity software separate from Sierra Chart.
