I have a futures trading account with TD Ameritrade/TOS. I would like to trade futures and ETFs through Sierra Chart. If I cannot clear orders in SC through TD Ameritrade, what is my best choice for an alternative brokerage or trading account. Can I do this all through Sierra Chart and hold my account there? Thanks for your help.

In the case of futures trading, we recommend the following service: Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service You will find a list of potential brokers in the Setup Instructions on that page in Step #2. For ETFs, Sierra Chart only supports Interactive Brokers for this: Interactive Brokers Trading Service Sierra Chart itself does not provide any brokerage services.

Thank you for this. One clarification, can I route futures trades through Interactive Brokers along with stock trades? Also, do real time futures and stock prices get fed through the connection from Interactive Brokers or do I still need a data package with SC?

One clarification, can I route futures trades through Interactive Brokers along with stock trades? Yes you can. Also, do real time futures and stock prices get fed through the connection from Interactive Brokers or do I still need a data package with SC? Yes but you are much better off using the Sierra Chart provided data feeds for better quality market data.

That is good news. So the challenge I have is as follows: I see is that under "Data/Trade Service Settings" I can only select either Interactive Brokers [Trading] for order routing and data, Sierra Chart [data], or Sierra Chart Routing/Data [trading]. If I select one of the Sierra Chart options, how do I maintain routing through Interactive Brokers? I have already signed up for SC data feeds. Thanks |
