I am writing to inquire about the setup for my Sierra Chart account. I plan to use the Integrated Package 10 and Teton Order Routing Service for simulated trading. My goal is to test an algorithmic trading strategy, and for this, I need real-time futures data. My questions are as follows: * Is it possible to use the Teton Order Routing Service for simulated trading while receiving real-time futures data? * Do I need to fund an IronBeam live account to access real-time market data, or can I simply pay the $6 non-professional CME data fee directly through Sierra Chart? * Would a deposit of approximately $100 into the IronBeam account be sufficient to cover any fees and enable the data feed, assuming funding is required? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying the correct procedure for this setup. |

* Is it possible to use the Teton Order Routing Service for simulated trading while receiving real-time futures data?
Yes, you can be connected to the Teton Order Routing Service and do simulated trading within Sierra Chart. If you are using the built-in Simulation Mode, then it does not matter what service you are connected to. * Do I need to fund an IronBeam live account to access real-time market data, or can I simply pay the $6 non-professional CME data fee directly through Sierra Chart?
If you are wanting real-time data for the CME Group from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, then you need to have a live, funded, futures trading account. And you need to connect your Sierra Chart software to that trading account at least once a month for verification. Refer to the following: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges Therefore, you do need to have a funded account with Ironbeam or some brokerage for which Sierra Chart has connectivity for the CME Group data. * Would a deposit of approximately $100 into the IronBeam account be sufficient to cover any fees and enable the data feed, assuming funding is required?
You need to check with Ironbeam, or any broker/clearing firm for their specific requirements. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
