Sorry, when you asked if you could use a Demo account, we did not realize you were asking in relation to the non-professional status for the CME Group. We thought you were just asking if you could use it with Sierra Chart in general. The answer, as you have found, is that you can not use a Demo account with your broker to qualify for the non-professional status for the CME Group. It has to be a live account. We see you have not activated any exchanges yet, so you have not lost any funds. If you do not have a live funded futures account, then you will not qualify for the non-professional status. In which case, we recommend changing your package back to Package 5. Then, since you state that "so I could learn how to use the programme before I start associating money with the platform via a broker." We recommend using the FREE Delayed Streaming Exchange Data Feed. This data is 10-15 minutes delayed from the real-time, but in all ways acts the same as the live data. Therefore, you can, and should, use this for your testing. Refer to the following: Delayed Exchange Data Feed For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
