30mins in now and I still cannot work out how to just have Sierra download 7 days worth of data (including day) for my 1 min MES futures chart.

Can anyone tell me what to do because it wants to spend hrs downloading data from way back in the 9th month

Whilst this is a great tool sometimes its just unnecessarily complex and it drives me crazy

Thanks!

The problem relates to using Interactive Brokers. Tell us the exact symbol of the chart you are using at this time.

The problem probably relates to this:

*Important Notice*: Interactive Brokers Symbol Changes

Select Edit >> Cancel Intraday Data Downloads.

Make sure the symbol of the chart is correct and matches what the new symbol is in File >> Find Symbol.

Re-download all the data in the chart by going to the chart and selecting "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download". You just need to do this once per symbol and not for each chart.

The symbol is MES-202212-CME-USD

Whilst yes I had an issue with the symbol today, im still unable to work out how to just simply set the window for which to show my data

Thx
