Hi User953894, I'm in TST too, and had problems immediately when updating to 1705. Possible 1705 CTS FIX error I mention this only to say there may be a couple of issues happening here -- CTS server issue with "disconnects", and SC CTS FIX error with "historical data loading" -- the latter one fixed soon by SC hopefully. Both CTS and Sierra Charts are quality products, and the best available to retail traders. There are other threads about recent CTS feed "disconnect" issues, like this one: Data Disconnect I sincerely hope the FIX historical data issue is corrected soon with 1706 (I haven't tested yet the 1706 pre-release but you could try that and report back here). CTS is still better than Rithmic, which the TST Ninjatrader guys use. And SC is better than Ninja by a mile. As far as the SC's real-time CME futures feed, I used it for months, but recently switched back to the main CTS FIX feed since that's what funded TST traders have to use. SC says their real-time futures feed might be used with TST in the future, but it boils down to TST wanting to support that: Incomplete exit for CTS server-side OCO | Post: 127020 If SC gets their own futures exchange up and running, hopefully it will garner industry attention and TST or other futures prop firms will move to it: About Real-time Futures Data | Post: 138268 Sign me up. These recent issues are feed issues, and using SC for everything (charting + data + execution) would provide the best seamless and hassle-free experience, saving traders time and money. |
