This morning when I opened my charts I could not load the intraday YM Sept symbol. I closed Sierrachart and restarted it and now I can't load also intraday NQ Sept. I can load the micros MYM and MNQ and the ES just fine. Not sure what changed. I tried to update to the latest version but the problem persists. I also tried the edit-> delete all data and download but no luck.
I have the Denali subscription and IB.
Is this temporary or there is something else I need to do?
Thank you
Mauro

There is nothing occurring with the data feed that would be causing any issues.

If this is an Intraday Chart, then go through the possible items here:
Intraday Chart or Chart Bars Not Updating | Blank Intraday Chart | "Currently no data to display" message for Intraday Chart

Otherwise, if it is an historical chart, then go through the possible items here:
No Historical Chart or Blank Chart | Historical Chart Not Updating | Missing Historical Chart Data

Thank you for your prompt response.
I have been going through different tests and trials. Here are my findings.
First of all, I didn't change anything from yesterday, when everything was working fine. The issues started this morning.
As far as I can tell the issues is present ONLY with the symbol YM-202109-ECBOT and NQ-202109-GLOBEX.
I didn't change the symbol settings from yesterday. If I try to load a different expiration date, like NQ-202112-GLOBEX the chart does load correctly, otherwise it gives me an error like if the symbol does not exists.
If I put as Data SC DATA the symbol loads correctly, but it does have a different nomenclature.
So it seems the nomenclature of the symbol is the problem even thou it looks correct.

I tried on a different computer and everything seems to work correctly. I guess something got corrupted in my main machine. I will delete Sierrachart and have a clean installation. Hopefully that will be the end of it. Thank you again for taking a look

Problem solved - I deleted the .scid files for the NQ and the YM sept. contracts. After doing that Sierrachart was able to re-download the data. No more errors. 🍾
