I need a broker that allows me to trade stocks, options and futures from one account. So far, Interactive Brokers is the only one that fits that bill. However, I hear that they do not send tick by tick data. What would be the most economical way of getting true tick data? Does Sierra Chart data provide true tick data or is it filtered? Will a 3rd party data provider give me data for stocks or will I have to use IB data for that and switch over to 3rd party vendor when i need true tick data for futures?

Thanks,

And you will need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed which will provide reliable and tick by tick market data for futures and US stocks when using Interactive Brokers. Here are instructions:
