Hello as per the subject this is my situation. I have an account for years with interactive brokers, I have a non-professional account. I have used other trading tools because Trader Workstation does not have what I am looking for. My idea was very simple, instead of paying the data to interactive broker for level 2, take them from denali. Mainly I do not know how to proceed, for what I want I need the denali data, but I cannot take the MBO data because they would not provide me with historical data if I am not mistaken. So I should take package 5 or directly 11 to execute orders on TWS. this part is not clear to me: Server Managed Bracket Orders: Yes when Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Use Server Side Bracket Orders is enabled. However, we have heard that it is not possible to modify the child Target and Stop orders before the parent order fills. For a solution to this in the case where you are trading futures, is to use the Teton Order Routing Service or disable the Use Server Side Bracket Orders option. I would also like to know how the non-professional verification is done with Interactive broker, for now I will not open a new account only for futures with another broker, my priority is to become familiar with Sierra Chart and it will take me time. Thank you for your attention. |

Mainly I do not know how to proceed, for what I want I need the denali data, but I cannot take the MBO data because they would not provide me with historical data if I am not mistaken.
We are not understanding this. If you are getting the data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, then you have access to the MBO data. But in order to view the MBO data, you need to be on Package 12 and you need to have an exchange active that includes the Market Depth data. So I should take package 5 or directly 11 to execute orders on TWS.
To be able to connect to Interactive Brokers (and to get real-time data, even from our Denali Exchange Data Feed) you need to be on one of the "Integrated" packages. Refer to the information at the following link: Description of Service Packages and Pricing: Packages this part is not clear to me:
Server Managed Bracket Orders: Yes when Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Use Server Side Bracket Orders is enabled. However, we have heard that it is not possible to modify the child Target and Stop orders before the parent order fills. For a solution to this in the case where you are trading futures, is to use the Teton Order Routing Service or disable the Use Server Side Bracket Orders option. The first part is just letting you know that you need to have the option enabled in order to ensure that your bracket orders are sent to your trading service. The second part is a warning that with Interactive Brokers you may not be able to modify Target and Stop orders until the parent order fills (while the parent order is still in a working state). I would also like to know how the non-professional verification is done with Interactive broker, for now I will not open a new account only for futures with another broker, my priority is to become familiar with Sierra Chart and it will take me time.
When using the Denali Exchange Data Feed for the CME Group data, the verification of your live, funded, futures trading account is done by having you connect to that account. Therefore, you need to connect your Sierra Chart software to Interactive Brokers. The instructions to connect to Interactive Brokers is at the following link: Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

But in order to view the MBO data, you need to be on Package 12 and you need to have an exchange active that includes the Market Depth data. Thanks for the reply John. package 5 offers TPO Chart Study Numbers Bars Numbers Bars Calculated Values Market Depth Historical Graph Volume Profile Interactive Drawing Tool but not connection to an external broker with package 11 you can, in my case I can connect to IBKR if I'm not mistaken. with package 12 you have everything that package 11 offers but you have access to Market By Order Data From what I understand the Market By Order Data package, shows every ticker that is greater than 3, it does not offer historical data, while the level 2 data, still shows you the depth of the market and therefore you can trade with the order flow. To make a long story short I need Nasdaq Totalview and the packages for min futures but I do not need to see in the depth of the market how many tickets each order has which is what package 12 offers, if I understand correctly. I've attacked two files to clarify everything. Thanks for your attention. |

From what you show and state, you are correct. You do not need Package 12 (Integrated Advanced with MBO), as you do not need to see individual limit orders that make up the Market Depth at a price level. Therefore, you would need Package 11 (Integrated Advanced) in order to have access to the Numbers Bars and Market Depth Historical Graph studies. In addition, you need to be on one of the Integrated packages in order to be able to be able to get real-time data and connect to a trading service. To change to a paid package, follow these instructions: Sierra Chart Purchase and License Information: Instructions To setup the data for the NASDAQ TotalView exchange, follow these instructions and refer to the notes at the following links: Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: All Other Exchanges* Denali Exchange Data Feed: Nasdaq TotalView Data Feed Notes To setup the data for the CME Group, follow these instructions (keep in mind that you will need to connect to your Interactive Brokers account in order to get the real-time data for the CME Group at the non-professional pricing): 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 |

last question John Is the price for MBO data and level 2 data the same or does it change? I can't find the price difference. Thanks again for your patience. |

There is no additional cost for the MBO data, beyond the need for Package 12 (Integrated Advanced with MBO). You do need the data that includes Market Depth, however.
