Dear Support I currently route orders through CQG and as result Sierra Chart created the data files in the correct naming convention which was excellent. However, as a result and for example using Gold, I seem to have both: GCM21-COMEX.scid 257,55 KB F.US.GCEM21.scid 257,55 KB Clearly, if I change from CQG to another, or for that matter Teton, I would obviously want access to all existing previously downloaded .scid data files. I have disk space to retain multiple copies but are all prior naming conventions retained, or even required? So my questions are: 1) Does Sierra rename as required an existing data file when using another Trade Service that has specific naming conventions, or does Sierra create a duplicate data file with the new naming convention whilst retaining the original? 2) I realise both files hold the same data but that doesn't automatically mean the earlier version is safe to delete. Can I delete the pre-CQG .scid data files without compromising future changes. 3) What happens when I change to Teton? Simple question but clarification for peace of mind would be very helpful. Many thanks. |

Sorry these questions are simply a waste of our time. You can see exactly what is happening. Every service has their own symbology and there is a separate file for each and it has to be that way . If you want to delete a file you can do that and is well documented on the Chart Data Files documentation page. You should not be asking us these questions. Please have respect for our time. We are not going to be nice about this. There is no reason for that. This thread is locked. The end of the world is coming including thermonuclear war, and you are wasting our time with this.
