Post From: Setup Recommendation - Simplified Solution

I'd like to use SC Order Routing with the Denali data feed (non-pro, combo with market depth)
This is a good and recommended combination.:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

There's mention of opening up a minimally funded account at one brokerage for verification, and using another for trading.
This will not be necessary in your case since you will be using the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service.

Which IB/FCM should I use, for maximum compatibility and speed with minimum hassle?
Anyone listed at step 2 here:

Compatibility and speed is not affected by the particular firm/broker you use.


such as your cross-connect (which may eventually replace TT I'm guessing), and your European cross-connect eventually (I live in the US, but have a condo in Spain). I'd like hassle-free transition to these offerings, when the time comes. Does your brokerage + TT recommendation change, based on that? Will we have to find a brokerage that supports authorizing your cross-connect to trade their client account?
All of this is not dependent on the particular firm/broker use. You will always have the best connectivity and any improvements made, you will automatically take advantage of those.

o I saw a thread which said we needed to make sure the broker we selected allowed automated trading. This is also a requirement for me... the reason I'm moving to Sierra Charts is because I'm getting tired of coding strategies in GoLang and having to do all the heavy lifting myself (D3js charting, IBKR FIX interface, etc). So, again, it would help if the one IB/FCM satisfied all these requirements and was on good terms with Sierra.
We are not aware of any broker not supporting automated trading. But ask them.
