I switched from TransAct to Sierra data feed for Eurex and CME exchanges this month, finding a big improvement in accuracy and lower latency.
In the Integration with Trading Services section of the Sierra Manual item 11) states:
If you pay separately to your Trading service for market data, you can unsubscribe from that market data you are now receiving through the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.
I therefore terminated the subscription (i.e. Exchange Fees) with TransAct, only to find that I can not clear trades through them unless I pay them the exchange fees.
This means paying the exchange twice for the same data on the same CPU.
Not a serious issue for Eurex and CME but with ICE charging $110/month makes me hesitate about paying them twice.
I understand that CME charges are much higher without a funded broker account, but have not read anywhere in the Sierra Manual that a dual payment of the exchange fees is necessary in order to receive data and trade.
Please confirm that this dual payment is necessary.

It is necessary for this reason.

For information, TransAct have subsequently advised that as long as I do not access their TransActAT platform they will not charge me the monthly Exchange Fees.
