Some of these questions are not within the scope of our support .

If you are not able to handle this on your own, then we recommend using another program.


You have given me a link above for all stock listings. My question is, if there are updates to those .txt files how will they be reflected once I enter them in the appropriate Associated Watch list. Do I have to update them manually myself.

The symbols files we linked to cannot be used directly on their own because they contain a descriptive name for each symbol. So you have to do some editing of the data. After any updates to the files, you will have to manually import the data again.

Here are the instructions to work with the Associated Watch List including importing symbols:

Also, we may have mentioned this previously, when you are using the Sierra Chart Historical Data service provided with a Sierra Chart package and not paying for a separate service like the Barchart Data service, you are going to run into a daily symbol limit when downloading data for a large number of symbols.
