Hello. Is it possible to retain, for now at least, the data feed from your broker, namely Interactive Brokers in my case, so as to retain intraday file continuity under the same file names - AND - run another instance of Sierra Chart with a new install of the latest version in a new directory (but not copying the existing DATA file contents to the new install's DATA file) on the same computer utilizing Sierra Chart's new intraday data feed in the new version? In other words, to have (2) versions of SC running and (2) different data feeds running - one for each directory temporarily ?
It might give me a chance to upgrade (learn!) the new spreadsheet layout AND try out the new Sierra Chart intraday feed too without disturbing the existing data files in the original directory until one decides whether or not to make a permanent switch over to Sierra Chart's intraday data feed.
Sincerely - Rick
