Hi, I have 5 Sierra installs on my pc and the market depth is taking up a lot of hard drive space. I don't need depth although it comes with my package, how do I turn it off so those files are gone? I searched and went into Global Settings > Symbol but didnt see any option. Thanks

Make sure you do not have enabled the option to record market depth data in the Global Symbol Settings for any of the symbols. Follow these instructions to find the option for "Record Market Depth" and set it to "No": Global Symbol Settings: Instructions And do not use the Market Depth Historical Graph study. You cannot use that study, as by having it on your charts you will setting the system to store the Market Depth data. But we do want to point out that you are not setup to get any Market Depth data with the exchange that you have active with us, as you have the "CME Non-Professional Top-of-Book" active. So if you are getting Market Depth Data apart from the Best Bid and Best Ask (i.e. 1 level for each side) then you must be getting that data from elsewhere, in which case you should check with your provider and have them turn off the Market Depth so you are not paying more than you need for the data.
