would i be able to use your Trade DOM's for the execution of trades or do i have to use the IB platform to execute the trades
You can trade directly from within Sierra Chart to IB for Stocks (and futures). The only "trick" is that you need to use our symbol for the main symbol for the stock and then enter the IB stock symbol in the Trade and Current Quote Symbol, and enable the option for Use as Trade Only Symbol. Refer to the information here: Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu) If I were to set up an IB account (or not) is there anyway to trial something like this ? even using SIM mode ?
IB may have an option for trying this in a Paper Trading environment, you would have to check with them, and make sure that it replicates the real situation well enough to ensure you understand everything. I also heard that you may be obtaining/releasing some kind consolidated stock tape in the future with market depth. Do you have a timeline on when that might be ?
Yes, we are working hard on this, but we can not say exactly when we will have it done. All we can say is that it is a priority for us. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
