Im interested in becoming an member of Sierra Chart by purchasing package 11, with Denali exchange data feed. So far I am an sim trader unprofessional trading futures gold (GC), and im confused about the thread with the real time data. Do I need to open a brokerage account even though I want to trade on simulator with real time data?

If you want the real-time data for the CME Group at the non-professional rates, then you do have to have a live, funded, futures brokerage account. And you need to be able to connect your Sierra Chart software to that account at least once a month for verification. This is a requirement of the CME Group. Refer to the following: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges We highly recommend using our free Delayed Streaming Data since you are sim trading. The data acts like real-time data in all respects, except that it is delayed by 10-15 minutes (depending on exchange). Refer to the following: Delayed Exchange Data Feed You can also use the Delayed Streaming Data with our Simulated Futures Trading Service. Refer to the following: Simulated Futures Trading Service And to top it all off, you can be on one of our "Base" packages, saving you a bit more money. Refer to the following: Description of Service Packages and Pricing: Packages -- If you really want to use real-time data, then you do need to be on one of the "Integrated" packages. And you need the brokerage account as we mentioned. If you do not have an account that will meet the requirements for the CME Group, then we recommend the solution outlined at the following link: Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement Once you have the brokerage account worked out, then follow the instructions at the following link to setup the real-time data for the CME Group: Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX Exchanges* For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Going off of the instructions from Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement is $100 the minimum amount that must be in the account or is it possible to have less, and still receive real-time data? |

With Stage 5 brokerage it is minimum 100$, I've checked many brokers supported by sierra charts, but none of them have less than 100$, Stage 5 has the lowest account activation cost.
