hi I have iqfeed subscription for a month, I want to download historical data for backtesting so that once I don't have subscription I can still continue with SC for Backtesting, how to do that? Please recommend. |

You just need to download the data you want, as you would while using Sierra Chart at any time. For instance, if you are wanting Continuous Contract Data for a symbol, then you would open the current symbol and set the chart to be a Continuous Contract Chart and set the number of days for which you want to load the data. Otherwise, if you are wanting data for a specific contract, then you would need to open that contract up and again, set the number days for which you want the data. In general, refer to the following: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ChartSettings.html#DaysToLoad Also refer to the following: Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Downloading/Viewing More Historical Intraday Data For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

There is nothing special to do. Once you open a chart and the historical data is downloaded it will remain. Nothing more to do. The easiest thing to do though is to use this service: Sierra Chart Historical Data Service Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
