Hi Customer Service,

I'd like to ask for some guidance on how to get additional price feeds overlayed in my SC. I am interested to overlay the 30-yr US Treasury (ZB), as well as the bond yields of Germany, Australia, UK and Japan. Could you please let me know what do i need to do and how much would this be?

Did you require real-time data?

That is going to be expensive and not easily obtained for some of these markets.

There is no problem getting Intraday data for US, UK and German bond futures. For the others probably only historical daily would be available.

Yes, I require real-time data to then be added in my charts with overlay functionality. Japanese yield may not be essential... the rest, ZB, European, Australian, UK 10yr bond yields are... what would be my most cost-efficient option based on your experience?

Even forget about AU bond yield if too difficult... main ones would be ZB, European, UK bond yields... what would be my most cost-efficient option to have them overlayed in my charts? Note, I trade via MT4 FX Broker. Cn i have them without a futures trading account?

Did you want the bond yields and not the futures prices?

The Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed only provides the yield for the US bond market.

For the other markets, there are only futures prices.

For futures, the cost would be about 261 USD a month:

I see. If only wish the option of US bond yields (us30 yr), which exchange should i select from Sierra Chart Exchange Data?

I assume I can do a 2-week trial first, right?

Thanks!

You need the CBOE Indices exchange.

The symbols can be found here:

There is a trial available for 5 USD which will give you access to the data feed until the end of the month.

Hi Sierra,

I think there has been a misunderstanding. I have just activated the 2-week trial and got the CBOE Indices exchange activated, but the chart that I get to represent the 30-y Treasury Bond ($TYX) on real-time on CBOE is far from what I was hoping for, as it has little if any similarity to the actual ZB chart. Here a comparison in my PC. https://gyazo.com/b54a0c301199ffc44bb9d62c4c06baa1 ... May I ask why that is?

Also, may I ask, what exchange should I activate to get the ZB? I assume is CBOT, right? If so, what's the cost for someone like myself, without a futures account? I am still under 2-week trial. Looks like activating the CBOE exchange and selecting the $TYX sign (30-y Treasury Bond?) is not representative of the chart I need after all :(

Looking forward to your response.

No, that is definitely not ZB futures.

It is the Yield or interest rate. This is what you asked for.

For Futures you need to activate the CBOT Futures exchange for 94.50 USD per month:
CBOT, For professionals and users without a trading account: Price 94.5 USD/month
