well this is still SC issue I am afraid - even though there seems to be a config to overcome it, it could have been automated etc like in IB TWS charts Now re the config - there doesn't seem to be an option "not to use True Real-Time Data". The only option is to enable/disable its recording - is that what you had in mind - see pasted below? And if this is what needs to be done then would it also help when retrieving HISTORICAL data from IB - I don't want to run SC all the time just so it "records" the real time IB data? Also I am SC Historical and Real-Time Market Data Subscriber - use it for all other instruments except Options which are NOT supported by SC Data Feed. Would that setting ALSO affect how the SC Data is parsed by SC? I want to avoid that at all cost. ------ The standard Interactive Brokers data feed is a substandard data feed which provides incomplete price and volume data. You may want to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed with your Interactive Brokers account as an alternative. However, Interactive Brokers provides another data feed that updates every 5 seconds which provides the accurate Open, High, Low, Last, Volume values for a 5 second timeframe. Sierra Chart supports this data feed. This data is transmitted at the end of the 5 second timeframe. To use this data feed, enable Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Service Setting >> Record True Real-Time Data in Intraday Charts. After enabling or disabling this option, it is necessary to select File >> Disconnect and then File >> Connect to Data Feed for the change to go into effect. When Record True Real-Time Data in Intraday Charts is enabled, then Interactive Brokers True Real-time Bar data will be recorded in all Intraday charts no matter what the symbol, if this type of data is available for the symbol. |
