Post From: Question about subinstance and folder selection for data

How much data it take on the subfolder ? Is it the same as the main folder ? do I need to copy my Ticker data files ?

How to have all the subinstance ticker update without having to download ?

Looks to me like the subinstance are downloading their own data from the data feed.

I upload a picture of my 4 main. you can see the Data they use. Its all ticker that I already have in my main data folder ( but its on another location not the sierra chart folder ) But still , when the instance are create , they copy all the require files to have my chartbook, trading preference and Study preset setup.

I am asking all this because I realize its faster with multiple instance. And from what I will do , I will require around 8 of them.

And because of mac , I have to place my Main folder on my main Hardrive : and its only 256 GB. That is why im using an 1 TB SSD for my data folder.

I just post another picture showing that my data folder on subfolder is getting bigger too. ( that is why I ask if I should copy my main folder to the Subinstance. )

and I just wonder If the data from the subinstance is getting it directly from the Main data or it download it from the server ? That will help me understand if I need to update all ticker on all subfolder with the Global settings - intraday file update.
