Can I connect Sierra Charts to Jounralytix.me?
There's a lot of confusion about connection fees with different data feed providers with different fee structures. Here's a run down of any additional fees you may incur connecting Journalytix to your trading data feed. Please see the listed connections below.



BitFinex - no fees charged

CQG Continuum - Charges $10 per connection but the first connection is free. 1 Connection can only connect to 1 platform simultaneously. If you trade through Jigsaw daytradr, you will already be connected and there's no additional Journalytix connection. If you trade CQG from another platform, you will incur a $10 fee for connecting Journalytix. Note also that when asking CQG to setup the additional login, tell them that you do not want market data. If not, they'll also charge you $5-$15 a month in data fees.

GAIN Capital - No additional fees to connect to Journalytix at the same time as the GAIN platform.

MetaTrader 4 - No additional fees.

MetaTrader 5 - No additional fees.

NinjaTrader 8 - There is some confusion here. NinjaTrader is a brokerage that supports CQG Feed and NinjaTrader 8 is their platform. You can connect to either the feed OR the platform. If you connect via their data feed, you will pay the additional $10 fee mentioned in CQG Continuum above. If you connect to the NinjaTrader 8 platform, there is no fee.

Rithmic - Charges a flat $20 fee regardless of the number of platforms you connect to. They also charge 25c per trade. Note that this is a minimum fee, if your Rithmic trading fees for the month exceed $20, then you don't pay any connection fee. This is a change for 2019. See this write up from AMP Futures on Rithmic connectivity.

Stellar - You need the pro version of Stellar or a version which includes their API. There is no additional fee for users that have the API.

XTAPI (XTrader) - You need the pro version of XTRader or a version which includes their API. There is no additional fee for users that have the API.

TTAPI - Connects via TTRest. The fee is $50/month but one TT Rest connection can connect a TEAM of traders. So for example - if a firm has 20 traders, we only need to connect to 1 instance of TT Rest for the entire firm.

Tradovate & TST Trader - Connecting via the new bridge to Tradovate/TST Trader has no additional fee.

Spoke to User925659, he was most interested in the following:

MAE - Maximum Adverse Excursion (maybe in pips or $)
- what was the amount of Maximum LOSS that could have been incurred by the Trader while the trade was still open?
MFE - Maximum Favorable Excursion (maybe in pips or $)
- what was the amount of Maximum PROFIT that was available to the Trader while the trade was still open?

Please see Trades tab of the Trade Activity Log:
Trade Activity Log: Trades Fields Descriptions

See here the NotesAboutMaxProfitLossFields:
Trade Activity Log: Notes about Maximum Profit and Loss Fields
Maximum open position profit and loss. There are separate fields for fill to fill and flat to flat

Most of this already exists within the Sierra Analytic program, it's just applying charts to the data that already exist.

This would be a great selling feature and an added bonus for using the Denali feed, bc the feed already captures this data, it's simply adding charts and being able to drill down in the data to get a comprehensive feel of trading performance.
