Dear SC team, I noticed during developing some ACSIL algorithms that when I run tests under DAX (symbol FDAX) the time it takes me to complete a replay (back-test) of 1 year is almost half the time I need to complete the same test for S&P (Symbol ES). I also noticed that the data files stored in my computer for DAX are 150MB size in average, while for S&P the size of the data files is at least 10 times bigger, around 1.5GB. So I am guessing that I have somewhere in SC a box ticked for S&P to save DOM data or something similar. I have looked everywhere but found nothing. Does it make sense what I am saying? Can you think of another reason why would it take me almost twice the time to run a test on S&P compared to DAX? Thanks! Ernesto |

That file size is correct based upon the market activity for that symbol. It occupies much less space due to compression that is used. But make sure you are running a current version of Sierra Chart to ensure that the compression is actually being used. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
