I'll start by apologizing for my lack of competence in setting up the data. I have read and re-read through the support documentation, and while I somewhat understand, I am just looking for some clarification on the easiest path to proceed and what data I need to pay for.

To make this as simple as possible.

1. I am doing OneUp Trader, but as I understand, the data from Rithmic is basically useless.
2. I need market depth data
3. I have an Interactive Brokers live account (it is currently not funded)
4. I have connected my IB account, but I am not sure that it is registering correctly as the circle is still orange on the page that has the exchange fees information.

I am still on the trial Sierra Charts account after a long terrible fight with Ninja Trader. I am excited to finally switch over. I just need some help with selecting the best option for me to get going. I like to trade with footprint information and use GOMI's footprint indicator.

Can you help me with -
1. What service package to use?
2. Do I need to add money to my IB account? If so, how much?
3. Should I subscribe to data through IB or with SC and Denali? It looks like I can get level two data from IB for $11, and then I would just need to pay the exchange fees through SC for $3.50? Am I understanding this correctly?
4. How will this all integrate with still routing orders through Rhithmic for tracking purposes?

Thanks a bunch for your time and help and sorry to be a pain.

I'm assuming this means that the IB account was detected? Is this all I need to do once a month?

Alright... still reading and trying to figure this out on my own.

I currently have my account verified (see the photo in the previous post) to allow for non-pro fees, CME for non-pro's activated, and Rithmic setup properly with "Yes" selected for, "allow support for sierra chart data feeds."

Is the last thing I need to do pay for and activate service level 12?

I am still not seeing proper results on a footprint chart but wanted to see if this sounds correct?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I went ahead and activated service package 12 with MBO. Says it will renew when the trial is over, and I have not paid yet; however, states active.

I am still getting lots of zeros in the footprint chart. Still don't have something right. Thoughts?

Regarding that chart, follow these instructions below:

Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Fully re-download the data in the chart by going to the chart and selecting "Edit >>Delete All Data and Download".

After about a minute provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#MessageLog

We will then determine what the problem is.

No you do not need service package 12, only 11:

Is the last thing I need to do pay for and activate service level 12?

Yes:
Is this all I need to do once a month?

You did this correctly:
4. I have connected my IB account, but I am not sure that it is registering correctly as the circle is still orange on the page that has the exchange fees information.


4. How will this all integrate with still routing orders through Rhithmic for tracking purposes?

1. Disable any volume filtering:
Chart Settings: Volume Filter (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Volume Filter Settings menu)

The Numbers Bars study also has its own filtering Input as well.

2. Set Sierra Chart to a Tick by Tick Data Configuration. Follow the instructions here to do this:
