Sorry, if I am asking trivial stuff. I just downloaded the trial version and my futures charts do not update. Compared to what I have seen on youtube videos my charts also seem to take forever to load. I do not see a status bar running but my charts runs back and forth until it has loaded.

Follow the step-by-step instructions here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#SetupInstructions Also make sure you activate the correct exchanges. We assume you do not have a trading account, so you can only activate the exchanges listed here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/FuturesData.php#CMEExchangeFeesForProfessionalsAndUsersWithoutASupportedTradingAccount And you must activate an exchange. Activating the real-time data connection is not going to give you real-time data. You have to activate exchanges. The CME ones have no cost for the first month.

this is so complicated. Before I am up and running my trial period is over. I am getting pushed from one page to the other. I cannot activate an exchange I need to sign an agreement. I press the link to the agreement and nothing happens. I don't know what to do. this is getting frustrating. This webpage is an encyclopedia, to read and understand it is a task of weeks.

We can extend your trial as needed. You should not be concerned about that. You have done everything correctly. Activating the data feed is just through one page here: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ExchangeDataFeedFeatures Here is the link to the agreement: https://www.barchart.com/register/realtime/agreement_standalone.php?ID=SCH&username=147131_1 You are saying you do not see that display for you?

Every exchange that I want to activate tells me do not activate, if you don't have a funded futures account. That is the purpose of this trial, I don't want to fund an account right now. How do I need to proceed to be able to test your system on a demo basis, trying to place orders in simulated account. I never imagined it would have been so difficult to just have a trial. Could you please guide me through the steps as everytime I try to do something on the links I get offered from you something does not work or I am being rejected for some reasons I don't understand. thanks for helping me out please to finally get going with your platform. |

You are disregarding the clear instructions we have given. I never imagined it would have been so difficult to just have a trial. You need to understand the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is absolutely hell-bent on making this as difficult as possible for you as they can.Refer to: Is Historical and Real-time Futures Data Included?: Do Not Complain! / Zero Tolerance Policy Every exchange that I want to activate tells me do not activate,
This is why we said this in post #4 but apparently you decided to think it was not relevant:Also make sure you activate the correct exchanges. We assume you do not have a trading account, so you can only activate the exchanges listed here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/FuturesData.php#CMEExchangeFeesForProfessionalsAndUsersWithoutASupportedTradingAccount (CME Exchange Fees for Professionals and Users Without a Supported Trading Account) And you must activate an exchange. Activating the real-time data connection is not going to give you real-time data. You have to activate exchanges. The CME Exchange fee options have no cost for the first month. The instructions are clear and straightforward. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
