Hello,

I would like to use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for CME Group real-time data at the non-professional rate in Sierra Chart.

Following your "Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement" page, I applied for a funded futures account at Stage 5 (cleared by Dorman), but my application was not approved.

I am a resident of France (non-US person).

Could you please advise:
1. Is there another way to satisfy the CME non-professional funded-account requirement?
2. Are there other supported brokers / FCMs (other than Dorman) you would recommend for this — especially for a non-US (France) resident?
3. If I cannot obtain a qualifying funded account, what are my options to receive CME real-time data?

Thank you,
Micha Yon-Lecoq (account: michay-l)

1. There is not another way to satisfy the CME Group requirement for the non-professional data. You need to have a live, funded, futures trading account to which you can connect your Sierra Chart software. This is a requirement from the CME Group.

2. Any broker that Sierra Chart can work with could be used. Sierra Chart has support for Interactive Brokers as well as brokers that support the use of Rithmic, CQG, and Teton for their order routing. Note that not all brokers that use CQG have support for Sierra Chart, so you would need to check on this specifically with the broker.

3. The only other option is to pay the professional rates.

But, if you do not have a brokerage account and are not trading, then why do you need the real-time data? You have access to our Delayed Streaming data for the CME Group that acts just like real-time data, only is 10 minutes and 10 seconds behind the real-time data. This data is free of charge with any package. Refer to the following:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

You are currently on Package 12.

Also, if the Prop Firm you are using supports Rithmic, then you can get the data from Rithmic. There is a lack of historical data with Rithmic, but it is an option if you can not get a brokerage account setup.
