The symbol changes described in this post are now completed: Important Update: "SC Data-All Services" Symbol Cleanup | Post: 218017 When the Service in Sierra Chart is set to SC Data-All Services and some other services like LMAX and FXCM, the categories in File >> Find Symbol that end with (Old), are going to be removed December 27, 2020. The categories of symbols listed in File >> Find Symbol which end with (Old) are the old symbols and should no longer be used. Instructions to update them are explained below. The old symbol formats will not be able to be used after the above mentioned date. Previously we thought they could be, but we realize technically they will not work properly after some additional testing. To update the symbols to the new format, it is important you are running the current version of Sierra Chart. Follow the instructions here to update: Software Download: Fast Update After updating Sierra Chart, open your Chartbooks and use the Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service command to update the symbols to the new format. Detailed information: Edit Menu: Edit >> Translate Symbols To Current Service Symbol format examples: ESZ20 (Old format) ESZ20-CME (New format) We also realize, that the new format should have been styled like this: ESZ20_CME While we could change it, we think it is too much of a disruption to be changing the symbol format again. ---- To search/get listings for futures spreads and options using the new method, refer to: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Exchange Traded Spreads Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Futures Options Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
