Hi Sierra, Happy to be back, even if Graphic Settings are still so complicated to change :) Three questions : 1) I use exclusively Denali, mainly to trade the ES. So the underlying data is always the same. But when I change the trading service (for instance switch from Rithmic to CQG), the data (= Denali data) is downloaded twice, the only difference being the file name, that seems to stick to the trading service instrument name. Same when I set no trading service at all ("SC Data - All services") : the same data is downloaded once again. Basically today (after re-subscribing) my computer just downloaded 20 gigs of data for 6-7 gigs of distinct data, wasting 13-14 gigs of bandwidth & space. Example with 2022 4th contract : ESZ2.CME (3643147 KB), ESZ2.CME (exact same size) and F.US.EPZ22 (0.01% size difference). Why is the software architecture made like this ? (i guess there's a historical reason ?) And do you plan to make it a bit more frugal ? (for instance naming the data files according the the data provider instead of the trading service ?) 2) I just discovered a new "Chat" window with a "call" button and a "video call" button. As many great chat/community services already exist and your roadmap is always huge, i guess the reason you're spending some time on this is to include very specific features. Could you say more about this ? 3) I'm interested in Teton routing service, which is currently free of charge. Is it a special introductory offer, or do you really plan to keep it free in the long term ? Thank you |
