SC Team - at present you somehow manage to map symbols from various trading services to corresponding realtime feed. As the symbol name would be different for each of the trading services - you must be having an internal map stored somewhere to map this in a meaningful way. For example when we open a daily chart - you automatically populate Symbol & Trade and Current Quote symbol fields ( 2 separate fields and depending on the data service it is configured for the second field automatically populated). Would you please elaborate where from this data gets pulled from? Background: I am trying to share some "summary data" between multiple instances of sierra but trying to avoid using "remote" data option. However as the symbol names are different between each trading service - trying to find a generic way to map the symbols between instances. Wondering if Symbol description can be used for this purpose? Is it likely to be same between all trading services? Also noticed - you have some flag - "Use Pattern Matching" under global symbol settings. Assuming it might be playing a role in deciding this symbol map as well. Appreciate any input on this.

For any trade service - When a historical chart is opened, sc would pick ESH15 for ES. for mapping ESH15 -> realtime symbol -> should be able to use sc.GetRealTimeSymbol() Is there any function available to get the historical symbol if realtime symbol information is passed? anything like sc.GetHistoricalSymbol(sc.Symbol) ?? CQG realtime Symbol F.US.EPH15 --> should return ESH15 OEC realtime Symbol ESH5 --> should return ESH15 Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-12-22 02:35:58

Even when I could open the Historical Chart from one of the main charts ( from chart 1 - could open chart 2 (daily chart). But how can I fetch the historical symbol name for the study on chart 1? if there is a possibility to add a study on chart 2 from study on chart 1 - I can then populate this symbol automatically from custom study. Appreciate any input on this. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-12-22 03:23:28

These questions are not within the scope of our support and furthermore we do not recommend putting reliance on the historical chart symbol because eventually that will be hidden in the background and Historical charts will use the same symbol as Intraday charts without the Trade and Current Quote Symbol set.

Thanks sc team. Understandable. - Would you please confirm - if it is possible to add a custom study on a different chart through ACSIL ( if the chart number is known)? - If not - would it be possible to open a named chartbook through ACSIL? Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-12-22 06:10:31
