Post From: US stock data from different data feeds

Hello,

I am a new user of SierraChart software. I managed to configure many things myself, but I still have some questions left. I already searched support board and forums, but could find answers. Apologies if my questions are duplicate.

At the moment I am interested in US stocks only. I have subscribed for SC package 11 and "NASDAQ TotalView US stock data" and "US Equities Consolidated Tape" data feeds.

As I understand, to display real time Numbers Bars and Time&Sales I should use the "US Equities Consolidated Tape" data feed and use normal ticker name, i.e. IBM (used to be IBM-USCT).

On the other hand, DOM data comes from the "NASDAQ TotalView US stock data" data feed and can be accessed by adding a suffix to the ticker name, i.e. IBM-NQTV.

My goal is to have Number Bars and Chart DOM in one chart. Reasons for that are:
1. Price moves in sync in chart and DOM
2. I can easily review hundreds of tickers by clicking on them in the watchlist window

Having two separate tickers for the same company, i.e. IBM and IBM-NQTV, makes this very difficult. I could have 2 charts side by side, but then I loose price sync and would have to click F5 and type in XXX-NQTV in the second chart every time I switch ticker on the first chart.

I might be wrong, but on the support forums, I saw that using _MBO suffix, i.e. IBM_MBO, would combine the data from both feeds. I haven't explored that option in details, but at glance it did not work for me.

Is there any way achieve my goal?

Thank you
