I am currently using TD AmeriTrade to SIM trade but when I go live I am thinking of going to Sierra Charts. There are zero costs at TD AmeriTrade so I am trying to figure out what all costs are involved to trade the SP emini. I know the platform may cost unless I go with AMP I can get Sierra free but what other costs like data and such do I need? Thanks |

There are zero costs at TD AmeriTrade They must be charging exchange fees and a commission when trading listed futures. That is unavoidable.The recommended solution is the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service: Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service The costs would be as follows: -The cost of a Sierra Chart Service Package -The cost of the Denali data feed (20 USD/month) -The cost of the exchange fee for market data -The order routing cost of .10USD per contract per side.

Yes, Commissions are 2.95 per trade I think so yes, they are getting the fees. Can I do all of this through Sierra Charts or do I have to get it from somewhere else? Does Sierra Charts have a favored broker or a list of brokers or can I use any broker? I'm all new to this so thanks for your patience. Thanks |
