In my 2nd instance of Sierra Chart, I set the path to my original instance of Sierra Chart: General Settings -> Paths - Data Files Folder (Action): F:\SierraChart\Data - Always Use 'Data' Folder Within Main Folder: No This works great. I can open my charts, and they don't need to re-download their data again, etc. But once I restart the 2nd instance, it's back to: - Data Files Folder (Action): F:\SierraChart\SierraChartInstance_2\Data - Always Use 'Data' Folder Within Main Folder: Yes Is there a way to make this so I don't have to manually change it every time I reload the 2nd instance? Thanks! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-04-30 17:24:26

You absolutely cannot do what you are describing here. This is going to cause you corruption issues and problems . You already probably have a corruption issue: In my 2nd instance of Sierra Chart, I set the path to my original instance of Sierra Chart:
General Settings -> Paths - Data Files Folder (Action): F:\SierraChart\Data - Always Use 'Data' Folder Within Main Folder: No All of your chart data files at this point should be considered corrupt. And you need to re-download the data: Re-download all the data in the chart by going to the chart and selecting "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download". You just need to do this once per symbol and not for each chart. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
