What you are seeing is all the correct functioning. The core issue is that when you are connected to a trading service, we first look to see if you are setup to get any real-time data from us, if not, then we look to get the real-time data from your trading service.

As such, the Delayed Streaming data is only available when you are not connected to your trading service - that is you can get the data when you Current Selected Service is set to SC Data - All Services.

Therefore, you have a choice of three options:
1) Connect to Interactive Brokers and use the IB data. You will need to be on Package 10 or higher to do this.

2) Connect to Interactive Brokers and use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for real-time data. You will need to be on Package 10 or higher to do this.

3) Connect to SC Data - All Services and use the internal Simulation Mode or our Simulated Futures Trading Service in combination with our Delayed Streaming Data. You can stay on Package 5 to do this, and is our recommendation until you are ready to do live trading (at which point we recommend switching to #2 above).

Let us know how you want to proceed and we can give you all the information you need.
