Dear SC team, you have indicated many times re your willingness to add futures spreads and strategies to SC platform. Could you please outline an ETA for that? Thank you.

We need to get a better understanding of what you need. It is currently possible to trade Futures spreads and strategies from Sierra Chart when using the CTS T4 and TT FIX trading platform services.

We could add real-time and historical market data support to the Sierra Chart Real-time and Historical data feed for spreads and strategies, but CTS T4 and TT FIX do provide market data already. Although not historical data.

One problem that arises is there is different symbology used between the spreads and strategies that we could offer and the symbols used by these other trading services. So we could provide real-time and historical data for charting purposes only, but you would not be able to trade from the chart. So if that would work, then this is something we can do, but as far as when we can offer this, not completely sure at this time.

One hesitation though is that there is a lot of spread symbols, and we do not want this to interfere with the performance of the market data delivery for outright futures contracts. So we have to see how best to handle this.
