on SC data feed since the data is properly formatted and you can use tick charts for example the only problem is they dont have data since day 1

With the exe version I just uploaded, data should be tick-accurate, although you need to set chart display appropriately (apparently the SCID can't set appropriate defaults).


Permanent fix for tick (adjust appropriately for other exchanges):
Go into Menu -> Tools -> Chart Settings. Pick "Edit Global Symbol Settings". Choose Service "SC Historical Data", and press New. Then edit on the "General" Tab:
-Symbol: mtgoxUSD
-Price Display Format: .00001
-Tick Size: 0.0000100
-Currency Value Per Tick: 0.0000100

Now in Menu -> Tools -> Chart Settings, "Price Display Format" and "Tick Size" is auto set to  ".00001"

Temporary Volume Fix until next SierraChart Launch:
Go into Menu -> Tools -> Chart Settings. Go to "Advanced Settings 2" tab and change "Volume/Open Int. Multiplier" to "0.01". Press Apply

See volume:
Menu -> Analysis -> Studies. select "Volume" and press "Add>>", and OK.

Looks like:


Bar analysis
Go into Menu -> Tools -> Chart Settings.
Set Bar Period to "Number Of Ticks", "Range Of Ticks", set the number, and do whatever analysis you want.
