Hello, I Have my own data files for stocks (those are txt files). I install second sierra (using non service , data service) I create watchlist following your guide. My e.g: TXT file ABC.txt Structure of file: Symbol,Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume ABC,20150527,19.2000,20.0000,18.4000,19.3500,62411 ABC,20150528,19.6600,19.8000,18.7500,19.8000,1895 ABC,20150529,19.7900,21.0000,18.4500,20.0000,4663 ABC,20150601,20.8900,20.8900,20.4000,20.8000,2698 I create symbol in watchlist "AB"C. Unfortunatelly, none of charts are opening after clicking on symbol. After clicking i see that is created dly file with symbol name. So i have ABC.dly file (on chart its info - symbol settings not found for current service) How can i create watchlist based on my own txt data files?

When you are wanting to use your own data, your Sierra Chart instance needs to be completely disconnected from any trading service (i.e. select "File >> Disconnect"). Not just set to "No Service". Refer to the information here: Exporting and Importing Intraday Data Files: Import and Load For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
