You have the information correct. The Intraday data is stored on your hard drive at the increment that is defined in "Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit". By default this is set to 1 tick, which is necessary if you are wanting to look at Numbers Bars or have studies that depend on very accurate Bid/Ask data at each price level. Otherwise, you can change this to something larger to save space, but you have to decide what is best. Refer to the following: Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings) Depending on how many symbols and the number of days for which you are wanting the data, 16GB could definitely be used by the Sierra Chart files. It is best to keep the "Data" folder directly under the main Sierra Chart folder, although you can move it. But it is best to move the entire installation, as you can do this by just moving the Sierra Chart folder itself. The only thing you would need to update would be any links/shortcuts you have setup to start the program. Refer to the following: Transferring Sierra Chart Settings and Data From Existing Installation to New Installation: Simple Transfer/Copy of Sierra Chart Installation to Another Folder or Computer System For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
