For more than a year now Sierra Chart has offered its own historical and real-time data feed for futures and US equities with data from various exchanges.

Complete details about this data feed can be found here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php

Now that all users of CME data have to pay fees, if the data feed you have from your broker does not meet the quality requirements you have, then you may want to consider using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.

You can then cancel the data feed you have from your broker.

The only additional cost is 35 USD a month. Plus the exchange fees which you are paying now anyway. So you would cancel the exchange fees you pay to the broker and pay them with the Sierra Chart data feed plus the 35 a month.

It is only possible to use the Sierra Chart Real-time and Historical Exchange Data Feed with a direct Sierra Chart account that you pay for. It is not supported with broker provided accounts. If you have a broker provided account, refer to:

Curious, if I use my cellphone as an access point, how much GB of data will I use feeding one instrument [and collecting every tick, don't know if that impacts the data feed]?

Sorry, I should have looked at a file I already have. An SCID of NQ with about 6 days of data is 20MB on my drive.

maxpi, that is only stored data, and is not representative of actual bandwidth usage. For example, depth update messages occur frequently and may greatly skew your results. You need to use a network bandwith usage monitor and monitor only the processes/apps that use trading data.

Wanted to chime in: I just began using SC's CME exchange data and might I say, it is VERY fast. Message updates are incredibly frequent and it's very responsive. Very happy so far.

Hi, I am considering using your feed but I am unsure your feed meets my requirements. I need to know how it compares to eSignal.

Can you tell me the number of ticks your deliver per minute versus eSignal. Do you 'poll' the tick feed X TIMES per minute. ESIGNAL uses the actual raw full number of ticks from the 'exchange pipe'.

Also, can you tell me the exact cash Forex feed...eSignal uses the five ECN banks plus the 15 largest Forex institutions that push feeds to give the most accurate Forex data.

Please let me know ASAP so I can determine if your feed is good enough for what I need.

I'm sure you'll want an official answer -- but it does not poll -- there is no "ticks per minute", any respectable feed delivers them in real time as they occur. The only feed I can think of that's bad enough to "poll" is interactive brokers, which is the worst of all time. esig is a joke, generally speaking -- their platform is so resource-heavy that I have seen it bog down a machine and been behind by a full minute, while other feeds worked fine.

thanks. I have zero interest in esignal's platform at the moment, just their feed. The exchanges offer different streams of data. Raw, clean, polled, etc. So a feed provider can say they offer unfiltered data and be telling the truth, but they could be offering unfiltered polled streams from the exchange, not raw. I want to make sure I have unfiltered RAW data, not cleaned or polled data from the exchange. I know IB is horrible. thanks.

The Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed is a full tick by tick data feed.

The only filtering is some nonstandard trade filtering on the US equities feed to filter out special trades which can cause price spikes in the chart.

The Forex data feed that Sierra Chart provides is from FXCM. We may also be providing in the near future a data feed from IG Markets.

The EUREX data feed that Sierra Chart provides is the full tick by tick feed from the EUREX.

If I have it correct your data feed cost is $35. per instance of SC. I'm running 3 instances of SC on one computer. So my cost would be $105 per month plus any exchange fees. Is that right ?

thx...

Dennis, no, read the first line here. $35 for first, $20 for second, $20 for third:
