To give you all an idea of the very high efficiency and performance of Sierra Chart software and servers we want to give you the following example of downloading historical tick data: When our server downloaded 1 year of historical tick data for BTC USD from MTGox over high-capacity data center lines, it took about two hours. Multiple data requests were necessary for this. When the same data is delivered through our Bitcoin Data service within Sierra Chart, it will take around 1 minute. Either lower or less depending upon the speed of your Internet connection. This is a real dramatic difference. You can test this by doing the following: Select Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings. Set the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Tick. Set the Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Load to 365. Open a BTCUSD chart and then after the download is finished, go to Edit >> Delete All Data and Download to download the 1 year of tick data. Once we get a reliable data feed from MTGox, and we did hear from them on this, then we should be offering a really good service here with trading support. Update: We are now adding in 2 years of historical tick by tick data from MTGox, and this is taking literally an entire working day to get all of the data and there are numerous timeouts from their server. Whereas Sierra Chart can deliver 2 years of tick by tick data to individual users reliably, assuming you have a good Internet connection, in less than 2 minutes consistently every time.
