Hello,
I Have my own data files for stocks (those are txt files).
I install second sierra (using non service , data service)
I create watchlist following your guide.

My e.g:

TXT file ABC.txt

Structure of file:
Symbol,Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume
ABC,20150527,19.2000,20.0000,18.4000,19.3500,62411
ABC,20150528,19.6600,19.8000,18.7500,19.8000,1895
ABC,20150529,19.7900,21.0000,18.4500,20.0000,4663
ABC,20150601,20.8900,20.8900,20.4000,20.8000,2698

I create symbol in watchlist "AB"C.

Unfortunatelly, none of charts are opening after clicking on symbol. After clicking i see that is created dly file with symbol name. So i have ABC.dly file (on chart its info - symbol settings not found for current service)
How can i create watchlist based on my own txt data files?

Regards

When you are wanting to use your own data, your Sierra Chart instance needs to be completely disconnected from any trading service (i.e. select "File >> Disconnect"). Not just set to "No Service". Refer to the information here:
