I was a long time user of SierraChart years ago and am looking to start using it again to support my trading. I have a few brokerage accounts but it seems some are no longer supported in the later versions of Sierra (specifically TD Ameritrade). Another one that I have is with TransAct/Infinity futures. Years ago I was able to use this account in Sierra Charts but today I am getting a vague (-1) error when attempting to connect. This is important to me since I am a non-professional trader and need at least one connection to get the appropriate data feed rates (since it seems signing a doc isn't good enough ;-) )....

I have attached the message log since this might help, but can you let me know what I might need to do in order to get the TransAct WS connection to work in the latest version of SC?

Thank you !!!!

This is the specific error:
TransAct WS | Account logon error: -1(-1)

That error is a TransAct error. You need to let them know about it for your account and they can take care of it.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
