Post From: Question about activation for Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

Hi Support,

I've looked at each page dealing with historical, real-time data and exchanges. I can't quite figure out what I need to activate from Sierra Chart. I've been pleased with my current account as-is and I've connected to IB and IQFeed. Both work, but IQFeed definitely has significantly better data and resulting indicators looked better with IQFeed.

I'm looking to replace IQFeed by activating the data offerings from Sierra Chart. With IQFeed (real-time), I had IQ Core Feed service, CME Emini, NYSE, Nasdaq and RT US Futures Entitlement. I'd like to replicate that with Sierra Chart, at least with CME data. I can rely on daily historical downloads for stocks.

Questions

1. Is the Historical Data service already a part of my current plan? If not, where do I activate it?
2. I assume your historical and your real-time work seamlessly, but I'm concerned about not having the software running one day and this leading to gaps in the charts.
3. If I go with real-time data through Sierra Chart, it looks like all CME with Market depth is 33.00/month, and if I want US Equities 10.50/month. So, am I correct that to approximate what I had with IQFeed, I would just need to pay an additional 43.50 per month (33 + 10.50)?
4. I have signed agreements with IB for the exchanges and real-time data. Do I need to do this again for Sierra Chart? No problem if I have to, just curious.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Regards,

John
