Dear Support

Due to changes in my trading strategy I've changed my Intraday data storage Unit from 1 minute to tick (now need a higher resolution).

Can anyone answer the following re the SCID data file:

1) Will the Tick Data only be recorded from the time of the change?
2) How far back will Sierra Chart go to download Tick data?
3) Do I need to delete and rebuild the current data file and if so will I loose the use of my many years of 1 minute date?
4) Is the Tick file a different file to the 1 Minute SCID?
4) Once set to Tick , as opposed to 1 minute. Will Sierra continue to record and update missing tick data indefinitely?

I anyone can help with these questions it would be appreciated.

Many thanks
