SC Data Feed for US Stocks Level 1 and IB for Market Depth

I've been using SC Data Feed for US stocks until recently switching to IB Data because I really need the market depth data which is only provided by IB at this point. However, during peak volume, I can feel that the IB quotes are slightly laggy compared to SC Data Feed, to the point that it hinders scalping. I wonder, if I subscribe to both SC Data Feed and IB Data, will I be able to assign SC to get Ask, Bid, Time & Sales from SC Data Feed, while still getting market depth data from IB? If I enable "Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feed" in the Data/Trade Service Settings, will SC prioritize using available SC Data? Thanks.

No, this will not work. It is either one or the other. Therefore, if you need the Market Depth data, you will need to stay with IB for the time being.

We are still working on our new equities feed which will include the Level 2 data. Keep an eye on this thread for updates:
