i believe that was barchart and not denali, whose service sierrachart used prior to ditching them once they launched their own feed (denali). if you need a provider that works with Sierra for asian futures, you're limited to only CQG, IQfeed, and interactive brokers, right? Rithmic doesn't provide Asian Futures data and i think the only APAC exchange that IQfeed has is the singapore exchange so that's probably out. And interactivebrokers doesn't provide true tick data. if you must use sierrachart, the only option is buying the tick data from CQG (expensive!) and stitching them into scid files but CQG data has a lot of errors from my experience so i guess it depends on how clean of a dataset you need.

Yeah so if we are talking about buying data in bulk and manually converting to scid files, then there are other options. tickdatamarket.com is very reasonably priced. You can also get JPX data for pennies from JPX Data Factory (less than 2$ per month of tick by tick with best bid/ask, if I recall correctly). It's not convenient to get, but it's straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. CQG is expensive, but wait till you ask Barchart for a quote ;) Also prices for CQG Data Factory and CQG Portara are very different, the latter being more affordable, but tickdatamarket.com is still more competitively priced.

if you must use sierrachar

That's the core question. Must I? I guess the answer will come with time.
