Got it. Things are slowly making sense to me now. I will work with my broker to move all 3 accounts under 1 CQG WebAPI connection. So to confirm, I will follow the steps outlined below: 1. Keep CQG WebAPI as the trading service, but stop data feed from them (if there is a better trading service you recommend let me know... my broker is Stage 5) 2. Real-Time Data Connections = 20 Real-Time Symbols 3. Only 1 connection needed, which will cost $25/month 4. Since I trade from the chart, through a study that executes market orders.. do I need Market Depth as I don't look at DOM. As I basically need ES and NQ, do I select "Full CME Group (CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) for nonprofessional Trading accounts" for $3.25/month instead of the Market Depth option for $5.25/month. This will have no affect on the data right? 5. Setup my Trading Service settings in Sierra Chart as follows: Service: CQG WebAPI Intraday Data Storage Time Unit: 1 Second Number of Stored Time and Sales Records: 4000 Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds: TRUE (CHECKED) - this is the only difference? 6. Since I will be running all 3 instances (1 instance for each account) on the same computer, all I need to do is select File >> New Instance. 7. On this new instance, change the account number for the chart on the "Main" tab 8. I will see [M] next to the symbol used by CQG on the main instance chart only correct? Thanks for your help. |
