@User90125 It's exact. Whether you use Instances or multiple installations of the main Sierra Chart, the storage size will be identical for both, because you are replacing the Chartbooks of the Instances with a single Chartbook for each main Sierra Chart. Remember that in each Instance folder there will be a Data folder with the .scid data. That's why the size will be the same as well. We use a method to make this fit on a 100GB Intel Optane SSD P4801X, the fastest SSDs in the world and the one with the lowest latency in the world. On the motherboard, it must also be connected to the M.2 port which is managed by the CPU, and not by the Chipset, it is even faster. For the first installation, we display only one symbol, the one we are trading. So there will only be one .scid file. For the second installation, we display only the S&P 500. It will only download S&P 500 data in .scid. For the third installation, we display only the Nasdaq. It will only download Nasdaq data in .scid We trade the Nasdaq, but we watch the S&P 500, that's why these 2 symbols have to be real time and fast for us. For the fourth installation, we use it for Intermarché relations. So the Data folder of this installation will be heavy, because we display several symbols. And while it might flounder, that's okay, because we're not looking at the charts all the time on this one. But it does not even row. This is quite smart, as the CPU and SSD will have less work to do. Over 3 months of use, this will use 50-70 GB. During new contracts (rollover), we delete all old contracts. In fact we completely delete all the .scids from all the Data folders to start from scratch, with just the new contracts. It's cleaner. The new contracts are only a few MB of storage space, because they are recent, so downloading data will not take long. We have settings that allow it, because if he downloads the old contracts again, it wouldn't work. In Data Trade Service Settings, instead of 180 days, put 1. Be careful to also delete the data from the MarketDepthData folder if you use the Heatmap. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-10-05 12:36:58
