Post From: Looking for insight into how to connect with

I was a long time user of SierraChart years ago and am looking to start using it again to support my trading. I have a few brokerage accounts but it seems some are no longer supported in the later versions of Sierra (specifically TD Ameritrade). Another one that I have is with TransAct/Infinity futures. Years ago I was able to use this account in Sierra Charts but today I am getting a vague (-1) error when attempting to connect. This is important to me since I am a non-professional trader and need at least one connection to get the appropriate data feed rates (since it seems signing a doc isn't good enough ;-) )....

I have attached the message log since this might help, but can you let me know what I might need to do in order to get the TransAct WS connection to work in the latest version of SC?

Thank you !!!!
