Hi I have a Funded (PA) Apex Trader Funding account and am trying to use that with Sierra Chart. Ideally, i would like to only use Sierra chart to Chart and have all my trades route through Ninja Trader. I am on package 11 and if what im reading is correct, i need to purchase the Denali Data Feed (11$). Once i purchase the denali feed, i will need to Connect once a month (following this link Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Connecting Only Once a Month to Trading Account to Support CME Group Exchange Fees) ? Is this correct? |

Yes this is correct. Our understanding Apex uses Rithmic, so refer to the instructions on this page: Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

Thank you for the quick response! the only thing im worried about is with Apex Trader Funding, i am still connecting to Rithmic Paper Trading - Chicago Area- Non-Aggregated server. Will this cause issue to get live data + historical from Denali?

No but you do need to connect to your funded trading account once a month to authorize the CME Group data. Information about that is here: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Connecting Only Once a Month to Trading Account to Support CME Group Exchange Fees Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

- Notice: To continue to receive real-time CME data through the Denali Exchange Data Feed when using the lower-priced CME exchange fees which are enabled on your account, requires that you connect Sierra Chart to your live trading account at least once a month. For instructions, refer to: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Connecting Only Once a Month to Trading Account to Support CME Group Exchange Fees hello i use Apex with rithmic, everything was OK until yerstaday the data was stopped , maybe because my CQG login is disabled ? please help me because in few days my test terminate and i need to resolve this problem |

As far as I understand, Apex (PA) funded account is not a real account : it is a simulation account which is paid. https://support.apextraderfunding.com/hc/en-us/articles/5443077251611-Are-performance-accounts-live- "We use live data for performance accounts. Initially they are in SIM but you still get paid the same way this is because many traders may blow a performance account quickly. So this is done to protect the company and you as a customer. One we see consistency we copy the trades via api in a prop account. Once we see long term consistency you are placed into a live prop account." That's probably the reason why you connect to Rithmic Paper Trading. I'm not sure you'll get reduced fee CME data this way, as you could do with a genuine real account with you usual broker. |

Hi User877753, and nbvoice94, APEX Funding is not a Regulated Futures Broker, so an account with them does not meet the CME Group requirement for qualifying as a Non-Professional. You might consider setting up a Futures Trading Account at one of the Brokers listed in #2 here: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing: Setup Instructions If you already have a Futures Trading Account then you need to connect to it once a month to verify your Non-Professional status, as it relates to Real-time CME Group Data Exchange Fee through Denali.

Could I use an AMP brokerage account for this purpose instead? Should work as long as there is at least $100 within the account correct? Or does it have to be one of the two brokerages listed? |

Yes, a Futures Trading Account would qualify you as a Non-Professional (assuming there was not some other reason why you are a Professional) You would need to re-complete the Market Data Agreements and be sure to include your new AMP Futures Trading Account Information; your "Clearing Firm" will be "AMP Futures" and your "Futures Trading Account Number" is something like "AC123456". https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ExchangeAgreements Then you need to connect Sierra Chart to your AMP Futures Trading Account in order to verify your Non-Professional status, for that AMP can provide you with the CQG WebAPI login credentials and with those in-hand, here are your set up instructions: CQG Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions Also AMP has begun supporting Teton Order Routing, so you could use that to connect your Sierra Chart Account to your AMP Futures Account; AMP Futures can put you on the Teton Order Routing Service without Sierra Chart's intervention; when AMP Futures has added you to the Teton Order Routing Service, your set-up instructions begin with step #5 here: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing: Setup Instructions |
