The steps are the following: 1. Establish a live, futures trading account. We recommend using the solution explained at the following link. It will only cost you $100, which you do not lose, it will just sit in the account. We recommend using the Stage 5 option. Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement 2. Setup the Denali Exchange Data Feed according to the instructions at the following link: Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX Exchanges* 3. If you used Stage 5 in Step #1, then proceed to Step #4. Otherwise, you will need to make a connection to your live, futures trading account based on what trading service you are using. If your account uses CQG, then you will follow these instructions: CQG Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions If your account uses Rithmic, then you will follow these instructions (in this case, you will need to connect to the live trading servers, which are different from what you would connect to for the prop firm): Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions 4. Change your connection to the prop firm by changing the setup in the Data/Trade Service Settings. Since they are using Rithmic, you will go through these instructions to make the connection and set the server to the appropriate one: Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions Once this is complete, just to ensure that the symbols are now set properly, select Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service. This will update the symbols to be the Rithmic symbols. And then just to ensure that everything is correct, ensure that the option for Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Allow Support For Sierra Chart Data Feeds is set to Yes. ------------------- After that, you will be all set for one month. You will be getting the data from the Denali Exchange Data Feed and trading with your prop firm. If you did not use Stage 5 in Step #1, then you will have to remember to connect to your live trading account at least once a month. If you did go with Stage 5, then we have a "backdoor" to verifying your account with them, so you do not need to do anything else. Refer to the information at the following link with instructions on how to connect to your trading account once a month, if needed: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Connecting Only Once a Month to Trading Account to Support CME Group Exchange Fees For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-10-01 00:16:54
