I have now several times and computer restarts 1) located /data/ folder in Source instance; 2) copied all files and folders WITHIN Source /data/ folder (but for .scid) (i.e. did NOT copy source data folder, only its contents); 3) pasted all copied Source files into Destination /data/ folder, overwriting as directed. I then have multiple times and after computer restarts launched the Destination instance, but the Source chartbooks do not list in the Destination screen File pulldown menu. For good measure I have also tried copying and pasting the .scid files in additon. What have I overlooked? Please advise, thanks. |

The Chartbooks have a file extension of .Cht. Make sure the files that end in .Cht are copied from Source to Destination. And then you should see them in the destination instance with File >> Open Chartbook. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Excellent! I had overlooked the obvious use of the >> Open Chartbook command! Thanks. If I may ask further: am I now "good to go" for connecting the Destination instance to the Siearra / Denali data feed, while the Source instance remains fed by a different, supported vendor (Rithmic)? My broker has made credentials available. Thanks again for the awesome support! |
