I'd like to run intraday backtesting including Level 2 leveraging Data feeds from Interactive brokers for US Equities.

Also, I'd like to use Sierra Charts to execute orders using IB Level 2 data feeds.

I've already subscribed to IB market data feeds.

Any ideas?

Best,

I try it all , i put like 3h into this and cant make it works. Another thing is downloading the data from IB is very long and not smooth. Is their a way i can subscribe to data feed from your side with level 2 ?

Of course. This is why we have terminated support for Interactive Brokers. We just do not provide technical help for this.

Level 2 data for stocks or futures? We only have this data for futures. Level 2 data for stocks will come later next year.

Refer to #6:

How many levels of market depth do you provide for the ES Mini Future for example? Is there more Information about the number of price levels you provide for different products?

1400 levels if the market is providing this amount of data.

So my question is, whether we can access level 2 data (for US or EU equity) on Sierra Chart,
Full detailed market depth with order by order data, will be coming for US stocks with our new upcoming NASDAQ data feed. Should be available in December 2021 we hope.
