You need to understand that Sierra Chart works with numerous external services and it cannot possibly know definitively one way or another whether a symbol exists or not unless the market data request were made for the symbol and there is some rejection from the external service. But even then that could be just some kind of an authorization issue. In any case this information is not passed back when responding to a security definition request through the DTC server. The best thing we can recommend is check the Description field. If it is not set then Sierra Chart does not have symbol settings for the symbol most likely. You really need to change your logic and not put any kind of reliance on this. That is going to be the proper solution. There simply is no definitive way to know whether a symbol is valid or not. We cannot know this ourselves. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.
