Post From: Need recommendation

Good day
I have questions about testing and trading. There are many changes going on in the Sierra chart and I would need your recommendation. I don't want to pay unnecessarily for something I don't have to. I have been using Sierra chart for a long time the Standard version is enough for me.
Please excuse my bad English. My English is not the best and I'm starting to get lost in the text on yor site to understand everything correctly.

I solve two situations:
1. I would like to start programming my strategy in Sierrachart. I don't need real data for this, but I need a strategy to test for accurate tick data.
2. Recommendations for live trading

Currently my broker is GainCapital and I use his data to Sierrachart. I trade emini/micro NQ, ES. However, I don't have the historical data from GainCapital to test the strategy. In addition, GainCapital has a higher commission and I am considering an AMP or other broker.

What solution would be best for me ? - 2 variants:
1) test my strategy on tick data for as little money as possible (I don't need live data)
2) test my strategy on tick data for as little money as possible (I don't need live data) and at the same time to be able to trade live emini/micro NQ, ES?

Which broker would you recommend to me?
Do you recommend using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 for programming my strategy? Which version you recommend please? Can I use for example VS Community 2019 version enough ?

Thank you
