Post From: Sierrachart does not work with OEC

I am now paying for SC (first month) and am trying to use it with my account at OEC. I am using version 1094 of SC.

When I try and do any intraday charts (no matter what type of chart) with the M6EH4 and M6BH4 contracts(and the symbols for these micro currency contracts are from the OEC list of instruments in SC), I am only seeing prices for today. If I want to look at say 30 days back, it is all empty. I am not having this issue with any of the other symbols I am looking at (e.g. ES, FDAX). Also, earlier today, the M6BH4 (British Pound) chart actually displayed alternating prices for the EURO as well as the British Pound. Some very interesting chart patterns emerged from this, but it clearly is not trade-able.

Why are these things happening and how do I fix them?

Also, yesterday, the ES chart simply froze about 10 minutes into the US open. I tried to "reload and recalculate' the chart, without success. I had to shut-down SC and reload. I never had such issues when using SC with IB or AMP. What is going on?

It looks like Sierrachart (at least the latest version which I am using) is not working with OEC and I would recommend, that anybody contemplating OEC or trading with OEC already should chose a different charting software, until SC have sorted this out, as at the moment, SC is clearly not fit for purpose for use with OEC.
