Hi,

I am using SC Exchange Data feed with indices subscribed.
Every time I want to load a symbol with $ in the beginning directly through chart input with / - eg. /$NASX in the chart - I get the error message that the symbol is unknown.
More than once I updated symbols via the server. Anyway the index is loaded then but the error message seems to be there always and this is really annoying.
Can you please have a look into that.

Thanks

This is hard to avoid because Sierra Chart does request security definition data for the symbol from the connected Trading service since that may be a symbol which is valid with that service.

But the data is loaded from the SC feed anyways, even if it would be a valid symbol in the trading service, isn't it?

The index symbols don't really change, do they? Won't just a single request
if symbol is in array[SC feed index symbols loaded from a json or whatever]
don't try to load from data service
fix the problem?

Anyway, if it does not cause any other issues...
They all seem to load correctly so far

Thanks
