Post From: Charting IB Symbols

Would appreciate advise on the flwg: 1. I subscribed to IB for the DAX Cash index (IB symbol DAX) and DJSTOXX50 index (IB symbol ERTX50). I have problems displaying these symbols in SC. For DAX, I used symbol DAX-I-DTB from the SC\File\Find Symbol\InteractiveBrokers Instance\IB Index. The SC chart displays intraday bars correctly but does not update in real-time. For DJSTOXX50 index, I could not find the symbol in SC\Find Symbol. 2. I have two separate installs of SC. One is ATChart and another for IB with a separate subscription. The data sharing between the two instances are working well but I do have a couple of questions; a) The Chart Settings/Trade and Current Quote Symbol is occasionally "lost" after restarting SC or when I "Connect" to the data service. And, sometimes, the Chart Settings/Symbol changes to the symbol of the Data/Trade Service Settings/Service that is set. b) Currently, my two installs are sharing a common data folder. I seem to recall reading recently that each SC installation should use its own Data folder, that sharing data folders can cause problems. If so, please point me to the article. Thanks
