Using SC as a server, using HistoricalPriceDataRequest


1. I have the interval set to 1 minute. Should I expect get timestamps in 1 minute increments? Like on the chart - 9:00, 9:01, 9:02,. etc.)

2. Say I don't have any data for a symbol (the scid file is does not exist yet). I then make a request from the server. Should I expect the server to download the data and then receive a response? (All in one call to the server)

3. Say I don't have any data for a symbol (the scid file is does not exist yet). I then make a request from the server. Does it matter if SC is currently connected or not? Meaning, if it is not connected, will automatically connect to the data feed and download data?

1. Yes but the actual starting time of the 1 minute record returned may not be exactly at the beginning of the minute. The starting time will indicate the time of the first trade within that minute.

2. Yes.

3. No it does not matter. Sierra Chart will connect.
