Hello. I originally asked the following:

"...Hello. I have Sierra Data Service Package 5 and the package that includes CME, CBOT, NYMEX and, COMEX.

I need to have my data feed come from Sierra, but I need to be able to execute trades from your platform, with the trades handled by Interactive Brokers, my broker.

Before I left Ninja Trader for Sierra, I was told this was possible. I thought I followed the directions, but my data feed is definitely coming from Interactive Brokers, not Sierra, and their data is not good enough for the charts I need.

I would appreciate any help you could give me to solve this problem. Thank you so much..."

I received this reply:

"...Follow the instructions here for this:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#IntegrationWithTradingServices (Integration with Trading Services)..."

I followed the instructions precisely. Here's where I am. If I put Interactive Broker in the Data Services window. I get an IB data feed. I have to use IB symbols, and the data will not support tick & Renko charts.

If I put "All Sierra data services in the window, and get the Sierra data, but then IB is gone - cannot execute trades from Sierra platform. Please let me know what else I need to do.

Biggest thanks!

We need to understand exactly what this means.

First we want you to increase both of these settings to 186 instead of 10:

And then re-download all the data in the chart by going to the chart and selecting "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download". You just need to do this once per symbol and not for each chart.

When you post an image of a chart only use this method here:
