Hi, Hope you are all well. I am reaching out understand what would be the most cost effective option in term of service package and data etc.

Tools required:
- Big orders (Large vol. trade indicator)
- Volume profile/market profile
- Footprint charts (Optional)
- CVD (cumulative vol. delta)

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks and regards

Since you state that you want "Market Profile", this means that you would need to be on one of the "Advanced" packages.

If you are wanting to connect to data and trading services, then you would also need to be on one of the "Integrated" packages, therefore the "Integrated Advanced" would be the best option.

But, if you do not need to connect to trading and data services, and you are fine with using our Delayed Streaming Data (you are still learing the system, you want some additional time to test you trading concepts, you are still developing how you want to trade, etc.), then you can be on one of the "Base" packages, in which case the "Base Advanced" would be the best option.

Refer to the information on the packages at the following link:
Description of Service Packages and Pricing: Packages

What are the exchanges for which you are wanting data?

Hi John, Thanks for your response.

My apologies, I missed to clarify few things before.
I like to simulate on historical data so I can cover more data quickly rather than waiting for the live candle to form. My strategy will be based US indices, XAUUSD on 5min, 1min. chart or whatever instrument for which I don't have to get additional data package. I won't need live data for now.

I would also like to have the tools that I mentioned above apart from one correction i.e volume profile.
Tools required:
- Big orders (Large vol. trade indicator)
- Volume profile
- Footprint charts (Optional)
- CVD (cumulative vol. delta)

Is it possible to get that in Base Sierra Chart with Advanced Features (Service Package 5).

Yes, you can get all that with the "Base Advanced" package. You will then have access to our Delayed Streaming Data for the CME Group, EUREX, U.S. Equities and CFE.

You mention XAUUSD, which is a CFD. We have real-time data from FXCM for CFDs and FOREX at no additional cost (also available with any package). Refer to the following:
Sierra Chart Real Time and Historical Forex and CFD Data Service

And with any package, you have access to all our historical data. Refer to the following:
