Maybe we are not fully understanding the problem.

We see no problem with the data downloading for QCL#.

If there is any missing data in the chart, refer to help topic 7:

Not sure if I explained myself correctly
I have downloaded and saved chart templates
From my trading forum to my computer and am trying to import
Them into sierra but a message comes up in red saying download
Failed and then in yellow it says symbol not found is there a correct way to import
Chart templates so they populate the data
Regards

What is the file extension of these "templates".


What you need to get from the trading forum is a Sierra Chart Chartbook. The file extension will be CHT.

We are not quite certain exactly what you are doing but this is not a valid intraday chart symbol:
CrudeIntraday (2)
