Sierra Charts question

E

easyrider

I would like to have a backup charting program and have been reading about Sierra charts. I am using a satellite with Esignal for my data feed and I have IB on a 56k modem for execution. IB works fine on the modem because it does not use much bandwidth. Do I understand it right that Sierra charts would operate on my computer using the same incoming signal that I am using now? My computer can handle the increased activity easily but I do not want to increase the bandwidth useage coming in. tia
 
are you asking if sierrachart can use esignal as a feed? i don't think so.

it can use IB data however. works flawlessly, seamlessly, bug free and reliable. i don't think you'll have a problem.
 
Just hope you don't need more charting info than the info from the time your start the IB feed to Sierra charts. In other words, there is not back data.
 
I got the software a few days back. I figure $40 for six months how can you lose. I had the eminis and ZB on it the other day but had to uninstall then reinstall and when I try to pull up ES it doesnt work. It works ok with stocks so I must be getting the symbol wrong. Isnt the format ES-2003-03 on IB?
