Hi!

Re: Custom data source: Link .SCID (it works all the time!) with .depth (it only worked once).

I'm attempting to display depth files from Data\MarketDepthData\*.depth using the structures described here: Market Depth Data File Format

The binary files, including the header, seem to be correct. They grow in size in the folders. They both showed fine on charts.

So the server for both price / volume as well as depth are on my computer in the Sierra/Data folders.

I’m already writing the .scid ad .depth data simultaneously.
SCID price shows in a new chartbook in real time. It is Perfect.

But .depth is now always ignored. I iterated through almost every settings combination, but depth only showed once and unfortunately I forgot that settings combination.

Please can you tell me how to get the .depth file linked to the chart.

Thank you so much. I suspect the trading combination lies somewhere here maybe:

When connecting to a service,

File -> Data/Trade Server Settings
File -> Open market depth window

Symbol settings
