Consideration of what package I will need?

Good afternoon, it's all very confusing what package and data feed I require.

I want to trade DOW Jones Index and possibly Gold or Forex using Orderflow footprint charts, I believe Sierra charts call it Number bars.
Therefore I think I need package 5 for the advanced charting. Now it comes to the data feed, Ideally I want the most up to date data feed from some exchange for Dow, Gold and Forex, so would I require the Denali feed package as well, I believe this is Package 11?
All I want to do is trade Dow, Gold and Forex with number bars with the best data, but don't have a clue where to start.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Cheers

What futures trading/brokerage service do you use? For the reason why we ask this question, refer to:

Good evening Sierra chart and thanks for getting back to me.
I trade DOW, Gold, Bitcoin and Forex CFD's by using IC Markets and BD Swiss brokers.
I believe that you have FXCM Forex data, but I didn't know if this was live and part of your Sierra Charts package 5.
I would imagine that FXCM data is pretty close to the brokers that i'm using, any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers

All Sierra Chart service packages include the FXCM data feed which includes FXCM CFD data. That is probably what you want to use. It is fully documented here:
Sierra Chart Real Time and Historical Forex and CFD Data Service

You do not want to work with futures data because it is going to be too expensive because you do not have a funded futures trading account from what it sounds like.
