hi, i am a new Sierra user considering subscribing to the High Quality Sierra data feed. I am comparing it to DTN IqFeed. in reference to your Chart Help file description-- "High-performance Continuous Futures Contract feature with back adjustments. This feature allows you to instantly create continuous futures contracts without any additional data downloading, if the necessary futures data has already been previously downloaded, and optionally back adjust the data according to the rollover gaps between the contracts. This feature works with both Intraday and Historical charts. This feature works with all of the supported Data and Trading services including the Sierra Chart data services." does this mean that i do not require back-adjusted data, a feature that DTN provides? I am new to data services and it is very overwhelming trying to decide what i need. I do need accurate intraday Volume Profiles, CumDelta/Order Flow/Numbers Bars, and accurate Historical data going back more than 6 years on popular index futures (ES, NQ, YM etc). this is all i know that i need at this point. your advice is appreciated. thanks.
