I am interested in using Sierra Chart market profiles with FXCM and Tradestation platforms. Will Sierra Chart market profiles work on these platforms? What is the cost? Would I be able to use one subscription on both platforms? If it doesn't work with Tradestation, will the market profiles work with Interactive Brokers. What would the cost be for Interactive Brokers?

We need to understand this better. So you want to use FXCM, Tradestation, and/or Interactive Brokers data with Sierra Chart for Volume Profiles or TPO Profiles?

This is supported except for Tradestation.

Did you need Forex or futures data? Or both?

I am currently trading options for equities on Tradestation. I am trading forex on FXCM. I would like to be able to use the market profile function of Sierra Chart to trade forex, and options for equites. I am not yet trading futures. If Sierra Chart doesn't work with Tradestation, will it work with equities on Interactive Brokers?

You cannot rely on Interactive Brokers for reliable market data. That is a significant mistake which will only frustrate you and us. Therefore, please avoid that unless you have an understanding of the problems you will be getting involved with and are willing to accept those without help from us. If not, we strongly advise against it.

For US equities data, we recommend you use the Sierra Chart Real-time and Historical Exchange Data Feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

Pricing can be found here for the data feed:

Sierra Chart pricing can be found here:
Description of Service Packages and Pricing

For Forex data, that is included with all Sierra Chart service packages. You do not need a separate data feed for Forex.

What would be the best platform to use for equities if I wanted to use market profiles in Sierra Chart?

You do not need to use a trading service for equities data, you can just use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:

Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

This will be most reliable. You could also use IQ Feed if you wanted:
DTN IQ Feed Data Service

However, that is more expensive.

For trading equities from Sierra Chart, only TD Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers can be used. And each of them have their own associated issues.
