Post From: PROBLEMS WITH PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROKERS AND SIERRA

Hello Sierra

REF - PROBLEMS WITH PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROKERS AND SIERRA

I only trade a few symbols, mainly the indices (GER40, NASDAQ, WALL STREET etc). The issue I am facing is the discrepancy in prices between what is reported on Sierra and what is reported at the brokers. I am 11 Pips adrift on NASDAQ but 56 pips difference on GER30. This makes fast trading (scalping) very difficult for me.

So, my questions are: -
1.  On Sierra ‘NAS100’ (i.e., Brokers US Tech 100) why is the price 11 to 13 pips difference?

2.  On Sierra ‘GER30’ (i.e., Brokers GER40) why is the price 56 pips difference?

3.  The Brokers offer GER40, Sierras list GER30. Are they the same? If they are the same instruments, then why are they different labels? Or should I be using a different Sierra Symbol?

4.  Overall, are the price differences because I am only on Package 3? If so, what package would give me the ‘real’ live data?

5. Or am I using the incorrect symbols on Sierra to trade US TECH 100 and GER 40 on the brokers?

I have added a screen shot so you can see the differences in prices

Thanks Mark B
