Do I have to go with a supported broker like AMP to get real time data?
Yes, you need to be with a broker that has support for the Trading Services that Sierra Chart has interfaces for. Those are CQG, Rithmic, and the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service for order routing services, and we also have support for TransAct and Interactive Brokers that have their own connections and do not use one of the other three. Therefore, it is true that you need this regardless of whether you are getting the data from us or not, as you need to connect to that broker to make trades, or at least to verify your CME Group eligibility. Why can't SC provide real time data for futures and stocks as well?
We have data for both futures and stocks. The futures tend to be in the Denali Exchange Data Feed (CME Group, EUREX, and CFE), and the stocks are in the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. Refer to the information here: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart Since options are not supported on SC, I just need access to real time data for futures and stocks, why do I have to open an account at AMP?
You need to open an account if you want to make trades, or if you want to qualify for the non-professional CME Group data. We do have support for Options, by the way. Refer to the following: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Futures Options For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
