New subscriber and need a data feed to run real time TPO charts on Sierra Charts for S&P E-mini Futures? I have TD Ameritrade, and understand their API is not supported. Very confused with all the different options for data feeds. Do I need Market Depth? Should I open up an Interactive Brokers account? What is my best option for trading Futures? |

You do not need market depth data. Did you want just simply the real-time data feed or did you want to trade as well from Sierra Chart?

First priority is the the real time data feed of the ES e-mini futures. - I can trade futures on TD Ameritrade for now. - Do I need to pay for a connection service as well as a Exchange service? In the future maybe I can look into trading on the SC Platform. - If so, would I need a different broker? Thanks for you help! |

You will need to pay for the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and the CME exchange fee to access the real-time futures data. Follow the setup instructions here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#SetupInstructions In the future maybe I can look into trading on the SC Platform. - If so, would I need a different broker?
