Our broker is insignia but we dont like their platform so we are looking in to sierra chart. We want to trade micro futures options (FOP - futures on options) for example options on MES or MCL I downloaded and installed trial version and looked for MES symbol for June expiry - and when I click 'Get options' it does not do anything not showing any option chain or any window - So I am thinking may be futures options are not allowed to trade with sierra ? Or what I am doing wrong? How do I trade FOP without option chain? |

The main issue you are having is that your trial is not activated. As such, you are limited in the symbols you can access, including options. Refer to the following instructions to activate your trial: Sierra Chart Trial Account: Details Also, just so you are aware, we do not have an Options Chain. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Oh can you at least confirm Once I activate and when I live account with Sierra chart - I can trade options on futures (FOP) And you said no option chain - so without option chain - how one can trade any options ? ON this link - I found Futures options Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Futures Options and it shows how to retrieve options - so that what can retrieve the most? it is not really an option chain. Further to trade micro FOP - what tools I need ? I guess I need at least level 10 which cost 36$ What about order routing? order routing using telon is included in that 36$? also for CME micro options how much for data?
