I have recently purchased Service Pack 5 and am wanting to set up a real time data feed. I trade futures. I have an account with Think or Swim/TD Ameritrade. I also have an account at Dorman/Ninjatrader/Continuum.

Since I have these accounts, I would rather not create a new account, but access data on a real time basis from these data sources. I have read through your site and think I understand the following.

1. TD Ameritrade - your API's do not allow for futures data.

2. Continuum/Ninja - I do not see a service through them. Is there one?

If not, is there a way to connect to either for real time futures data?

If not, what is available for real time connections that do not require opening a 3rd account?

Thank you,

2. Continuum is CQG. So you just need to follow through the CQG setup instructions here:
CQG Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions

This way you will have access to the futures data and also can perform trading.

Dear Sierra Support,
You mean to say, we can trade using Sierra chart if we have a trading account with NInjatrader. Please confirm.

I talked with NT and they informed me that I will be unable to get data to Sierra Charts as I am using Continuum for my NT real time data source. It appears that I will be required to open a new brokerage account to get a real time data source on SC? Any alternative?

Yes.

Continuum is CQG. So you can certainly use your CQG account with Sierra Chart. Give it a try by following these instructions:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/CQGTrading.php#SetupInstructions

In Sierra Chart make sure you use the Service named "CQG web API".
