I want to back test FTSE and EURO futures. I currently have 1 year package 11 subscription ONLY. I didn't purchase any data feed. But, still can I back test without purchasing Data feed ?

I search a lot for answers but always got mixed answers. So, my question is ....To back test FTSE and EURO futures using foot print chart, do I need to purchase data feed ?

With any package, you have full access to our Historical data and our Delayed Streaming Data Feed. Refer to the following:
Sierra Chart Historical Data Service

Delayed Exchange Data Feed

Therefore, you can download whatever historical data you need/want and run the backtesting on it.

We have data for EUREX, if that is what you are referring to in terms of "EURO Futures". For information on the EUREX data, refer to the following:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: EUREX Data Feed Notes

But we do not have data for FTSE (or other EURO Futures exchanges, if you are not referring to EUREX). To get the data for FTSE into Sierra Chart, you would need to connect to a service that has this data. In this case, you would need to be on one of the "Integrated" packages (which you are currently are with Package 11). Refer to the information at the following link:
Description of Service Packages and Pricing: Integrated Packages

If you do not have access to the data through your broker for FTSE, then you can check with DTN IQ Feed and see if they have the data, as we have connectivity with them. Refer to the following:
