Hi, [Version 2564] My Intraday Data Storage Time Unit under Data/Trade Service Settings is set to 1-Tick. I like 80% of my charts to use tick data but for a couple I have no need for it and it is unnecessary as it takes too much time to load and it also takes up disk space. Is there a way to force a chart/symbol to use 1 Minute while all the others still use 1-Tick?? Apparently there used to be a way in older versions to create a custom symbol that used 1-Min but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Thanks. |

No, this never existed: Apparently there used to be a way in older versions to create a custom symbol that used 1-Min but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

I know there's a way to do this by opening up a sub-instance but I was wondering if it was possible to do this within the same running instance of Sierra. Unless I missed something in the documentation you sent me, it looks like it isn't possible.
