Sorry, we did not understand that you were wanting to use IQ Feed for your data and Interactive Brokers for your trading. In that case, you need to have 2 instances of Sierra Chart. One that receives the IQ Feed data and the other for your Interactive Brokers connection. We recommend using Sub-Instances of your Interactive Brokers installation to keep things simple. In general, you will follow the instructions here to connect your Interactive Brokers installation to the IQ Feed installation, where IQ Feed is the server and Interactive Brokers is the client: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#AccessingMarketDataFromOtherInstancesOfSierraChart_Instructions But you will not want to create new symbols in the client, as you need the IB symbols. Therefore, refer to this section: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#SymbolSettingsToChangeWhenUsingExistingSymbol For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
