Based on the exchanges you have activated, the CME and EUREX symbols will come from the Sierra Chart Data Feed.

When I tryed to display in chart the symbol FTMIB (from SC symbols list), the log file returned error: Interactive Brokers FTMIB data not subscribed.
So why it returns error like that?
That type of error makes me think that data feed comes from IB, not from SC.

What exchange does that symbol trade on? It does not appear to be EUREX. You will need to subscribe to the exchange it trades on through Interactive Brokers.

When my data feed was IQ Feed I just opened my chart connecting to IQ Feed client by mean Sierra Chart. I did NOT need to connect to Interactive Brokers TWS, ok?

So why I cannot the same thing whit SC Data Feed?

Connecting Sierra Chart to TWS means the data feed comes from TWS (IB).

I don't want to connect SC to TWS. Is it possible to receive SC data feed whit no connection to TWS?

You do need to connect to your Interactive Brokers account once a month to get the CME data at the lower exchange fee cost.

To do this, refer to the instructions here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#ConnectingOnlyOnceAMonthToTradingAccount

At all other times you do not have to connect to Interactive Brokers and can connect direct to the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.


Connecting Sierra Chart to TWS means the data feed comes from TWS (IB).
This is not true. This is explained in detail here:

"At all other times you do not have to connect to Interactive Brokers and can connect direct to the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed"

...so do I have to change the service settings, switching from "Interactive Brokers" to SC All Servies"?
And click "Connect data feed".
Is that correct?

I did the above procedure.
Please note: when I connect to "SC All Services" Sierra Chart return error: "Download failed".

So why this error?

You need to use the correct symbols for the charts. You need to use the symbols which match the symbols in File >> Find Symbol for the current selected service. Refer to help topic 1.3:

BP and EC are pit traded contracts. If you do not understand what those are, then do not use them. They trade much less frequently.
