This may be a very stupid question, but here goes. I'm a little confused on the symbol limits and how exactly they work. I am trading through the IB trading service and I have full CME with market depth data both through IB and the Sierra Data Feed. I have multiple chartbooks with around 35 individual symbols (however, each chartbook has bet 4-8 different symbols depending on the asset class energy having 4 for example). I also have equity data as well. What I'm trying to understand is if I subscribe to Sierra's equity data feed how will it interact with IB? Since IB only allows 100 symbols at a time and with Sierra using the IB symbol format for futures, how would this work? I get that with futures I have to use the IB symbol format, but what about equities? In a nutshell, my IB watchlist currently has around 96 symbols so I am pushing the limit there. If you wouldn't explaining how I could subscribe to the Sierra Feed without a conflict I would greatly appreciate. Also are NYSE/Arca/Amex indices no longer available? For example the $XAX, $XAL or $BTK, if they are how do you get them? Thanks, |
