Hi

Today I downloaded Sierra charts to look what it is all about and play around with it.

I connected it to my IB data feed and loaded the CL 01-13 chart, which (seemed) to worked fine. The I started to mess around with the continuous data for CL and switched it off again.

At that point when I load CL 01-13 into Sierra, I only get data up until July 2012 which makes no sense for CL 01-13

When I right click in the chart I see the date to which it will load, but I cannot change this date.

When I switch on continuous contract it loads till 5/10. But there are some gaps where there is no data for a couple of weeks.

How can I get my data right again?

In you sierra chart data director (in a standard installation it is c:\sierrachart\data), delete the datafiles for the cl contracts - they are the files ending with .scid and depending on the naming of the symbol from you provider they could CLxx.scid or CLxx-nymex.scid, in short first two letters CL and ending .scid

Just got word back from Sierra. It turned out to be an IB issues. They limit the the amount and the amount of polls for data.
