We have removed the requirement that there is at least a 25 USD balance when using the new SC order routing service to cover the cost of the fees, to be able to connect. If your balance is low or goes negative, you get an email notice to add more credit. If your Sierra Chart services balance goes negative we will contact you about that. So access to the service always be maintained. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Hello, is it possible to use this order routing service while using an alternative data feed instead of the SC data feed? Is the pricing structure the same for an 'order routing service only' option?

Yes you would need to provide your own data through a DTC compatible server or through another instance of Sierra Chart connected to another service for data. Refer to the instructions here for this: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#AccessingMarketDataFromOtherInstancesOfSierra%20Chart The pricing would be the same.

Are all the current users of this service using Dorman/Stage 5 as a broker? That's the only clearing firm/brokerage that has approved this service for now?

Also, based on what you've said here: Announcement: Realistic Futures Trading Evaluator Service Now Available It sounds like you have set up your own FIX adapter with TT and are using the TT Rest APIs for position management. Correct?

Our futures trading evaluator service or trade simulation service is completely unrelated to TT. It does not utilize TT in any way. Positions and balance tracking is fully managed by Sierra Chart. There would be no reason to utilize anything they offer in this regard. What we are able to develop is absolutely superior, customizable and completely rocksolid.

The firms utilizing the service are AMP, Dorman, Marex, potentially GH Financials. And hopefully ADM soon but they are just moving slowly on this.

So do you manually collect and analyze the fix messages on the server side based on the price, side and quantity to calculate positions or do you call the TT Rest-API and then send that information to customers? It sounds like you were referring to the latter in the other thread.

From the documentation: This service supports live trading only. There is a separate service for simulated trading which will be documented soon. Is the simulated trading working now or not? The simulation mode has been there for a while by turning on in the menu "Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On". Is it the same simulated trading as mentioned in the documentation?

So every time you restart the program the positions come from the TT REST API, but for live execution following the start of that instance the software makes its own internal calculations, correct? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-03-29 09:52:29

It is upon a connection to the FIX server is when the Positions are pulled from the REST API. Otherwise, correct. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Great job, I really like the idea of having SC + Data feed + routing all in one. My apologies if asking something silly. If I go for AMP, does this mean that using your service will be $0.1 for routing and it will replace the $0.1 of CQG trade route with AMP? https://portal.ampclearing.com/account/commissionquote.aspx Is there any other saving I´m missing? (monetary speaking only in this case). Having the OCO and brakets server orders is awesome; more to someone trading from Europe.

At this time, the data feed is separately paid for: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed Later on it will become part of a new package we will offer to work with this order routing service.

One thing mentioned previously that has now been added in version 1892 is the command Edit >>Translate Symbols to Current Service which will translate all of the futures contract symbols in Chartbook's and Quote Boards, which are currently open, to match the symbols required for the current service. Currently this is implemented for the SC Order Routing Service. So you can instantly update your symbols to work with this service.

what's the latency for HKEX order routing like with this service? TT has colocated DirectAccesss via SDNet/2 to HKEX but does SC's futures routing service take advantage of this? is it possible to use this service just for routing? i live in Asia and the hkex feed from barchart that you guys offer has higher latency than the hkex feed i get directly from CQG via AMP since I'm automatically connected to CQG's Singapore data center when using CQG datafeed.

what's the latency for HKEX order routing like with this service? TT has colocated DirectAccesss via SDNet/2 to HKEX but does SC's futures routing service take advantage of this? At this time because our servers are in Chicago, you will not be able to take advantage of low latency for the Hong Kong exchange. That will come later when we have a server in the Asia-Pacific area. is it possible to use this service just for routing? i live in Asia and the hkex feed from barchart that you guys offer has higher latency than the hkex feed i get directly from CQG via AMP since I'm automatically connected to CQG's Singapore data center when using CQG datafeed Yes, here is the relevant documentation: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#AccessingMarketDataFromOtherInstancesOfSierra%20Chart Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Is there any timeframe for the Asia Pacific server and will we able to connect to that as an intermediate point to Chicago if we wish to trade CME products - ie for those of us located in Asia Pacific ?

No timeframe yet but we are looking into this. You will be able to choose whatever server you want that we have available but all order routing would go to that one particular server. But you could always run different instances of Sierra Chart connected to different servers. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I read most of the posts and answers so I have the following questions for you: 1) You are speaking about milliseconds, micro etc but since I'm based on Europe and I have a network latency to chicago that is about 120ms how can this benefit my trading trading activity? 2) Do you have any plan to set a server in Europe? I work mainly on Eurex and right now I'm using Infinity ATchart to get Sierra charts (i.e also chicago based), so I would like to understand if and how much this new service could benefits my trading activity, considering that in any case it's introduncing additional transaction cost. thx

1, 2. We will be setting up a server in Germany for EUREX order routing. Not sure you would have any additional transaction costs depending on your broker.

Referring to responses #2 and #3, why exactly could this routing service never be used for Interactive Brokers? It is not possible that IB does the clearing and charges their commission but TT does the order routing? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-04-02 17:35:28

We have set up an order routing server in Germany for this service with connectivity to the TT Frankfurt server. Support for this will be in the next release of Sierra Chart coming out in a couple of days (Server 3). We will put together a table indicating the location of each server. This is only for order routing. EUREX market data will still pass through Chicago. For us to obtain data direct from the EUREX out of Frankfurt is a lot more expensive. So market data will not originate from there. We will have to reevaluate based on the level of demand and the number of customers.
