Hello All!
I am currently running the trial version of Sierra Charts so far and i am liking it even with the learning curve from other platforms.
My question is regarding which data service fee i should choose; the included SC data feed or the Denali Exchange Data feed.
I've read through all the documentation and several pages to pinpoint my decision but to no avail. From what i gather it seems the included SC data feed would suffice but I'm just not entirely sure.
I want to use Sierra Chart purely for charting purposes, NOT to execute trades. I like having accurate high quality data feed of the e-mini s&p futures w/ DOM, e-mini nasdaq futures, SPX, and blue-chips.
Any help pointing to the right direction would be much appreciated. If you need more information on my part by all means ask. Looking forward to the replies!

Given the markets that you want to chart, you would need both the Denali Exchange Data Feed and the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.

The Denali Exchange Data Feed gives the data for the CME Group (e-Mini S&P 500 and e-Mini NASDAQ). The Sierra Chat Exchange Data Feed covers the other major exchanges, including the U.S. Equities (SPX and Blue-Chips). Refer to the information here:

Just be aware of the requirement of the CME Group that to qualify for the (much) lower priced Non-Professional exchange fees, you would need to have a trading account that we can connect to. Refer to the information here:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Thank you for the reply John I'm starting to get somewhere!
Tell me if I'm completely wrong but here's what i have gathered.
1. Sierra Chart service package 5 - $36
2. Denali Exchange Data Feed - $25
3. Create a funded futures account which should complete the process using this information here:

4. additionally, if step 3 doesn't complete the process i need to factor in the activation cost for the exchange which I think #3 ($10.4) is what I'm looking for here:

After step 3 or 4 I'm good to go (i think). Again really appreciate the help you guys.

You almost have it. You will need to pay for the cost of the Exchange Fee in all cases. The difference is whether you need to pay the Professional rate or the Non-Professional rate. If you setup the account at AMP, then you can qualify for the Non-Professional exchange fees, which looks like you are interested in the $10.40 CME with Market Depth (the Professional version of that exchange is $109.20)

After that, you are good to go with the CME Data.

If you want to also get the U.S. Equities, then you would also need to follow the Setup Instructions for the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. Refer to the information here:

Alright i think i got it! Phew..thanks for helping me John.
1. sierra chart service package 5 - $36
2. denali exchange data feed - $25
3. Create and fund AMP account.
4. CME w/ market depth activation - $10.40
5. Sierra data feed using CBOE indices (for $spx feed) $5.25 + U.S. Equities Non-Professional $10.50
This should get me up off the ground and running for my needs. I want to make sure i covered all my bases before purchasing the service. Before your help i read through *almost* most of what i needed but was conflicted by the information. This helps me A LOT. Really appreciate your help John you are a live safer if there's anything i missed let me know!

Just two more items. The cost of the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed for 150 symbols is $25.00 per month. This is in addition to the cost of the exchanges. Plus there is a $10.00 credit to your account when using both data feeds. So it would look like this:

1. Sierra Chart Package 5 - $36.00
2. Denali Exchange Data Feed - $25.00
3. Create and fund AMP Account
4. CME w/ Market Depth for Non-Professionals - $10.40
5. Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed - $25.00
6. CBOE Indices - $5.25
7. U.S. Equities for Non-Professionals - $10.50
8. $10.00 credit to account for using both Denali and Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feeds (you will find the documentation on this here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/RealTimeDataFeedsAvailableFromSierraChart.php#UsingBothDenaliExchangeDataFeedAndSierraChartExchangeDataFeed)
