Do you not need to purchase any data?

You need to get the data from somewhere. You can either get it from us (Sierra Chart) or from Rithmic. We believe you are paying for it in either case.

Do you need a live trading account?

If you get the data for the CME Group from us, then you will need to have a live, funded, futures trading account in order to qualify for the non-professional exchange fees. Refer to the following:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

If you decide to purchase Denali data and have a live trading account. Do you not need to provide the Rithmic credentials to be able to trade your Apex account?

If you are getting the data from us, then you do not need to enter the credentials on the "Data/Trade Service Settings" window for the Rithmic data.

If you just purchase an Apex account. Have package 11 advanced option here. Use Rithmic credentials provided by Apex. Do you need anything else aside from that setup?

No, you do not need anything else from us. In this case you are getting the data from Rithmic.

If you have an Apex account. Package 11 advanced. Live trading account. Do you need to purchase Denali data to have this work? If so, do you have to provide Rithmic login credentials if going the Apex, 11 Advanced package, live trading account along with Denali data?

As noted above, you do not need to have the Denali data. You can get the data from Rithmic. If you get the data from Rithmic, then you need to enter the credentials for the Rithmic Data on the "Data/Trade Service Settings" window. If you get the data from us, then you do not need to enter the credentials for the Rithmic data on the "Data/Trade Service Settings" window.

We do want to point out that there is a lack of historical data with Rithmic. If you need data going back more than a few days, you will not be able to get this from Rithic, and we highly recommend using our Denali Exchange Data Feed instead.
