I want to start sim trading to practise a strategy with a plan to go live eventually. I'm prepared to subscribe for longer to get a better deal and upgrade to a more suitable package for live trading when I'm ready for it. What is the best package for my needs? I already have IBKR and want to use my subscription to their market data unless it works out better to go with Denali or whichever is offered by Sierra Charts for just ES/MES futures trading. I'm also based in the UK. I've seen some services that have started adding on a tax to the subscription fee due to tax laws where their company is based or to which country they are providing the service. What is the tax situation for UK based users? Thank you. |

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to use our Delayed Streaming data or real-time data while you are doing your sim trading. Our Delayed Streaming data acts just like real-time data, only it is delayed by 10-15 minutes (depending on exchange), and this data is free with any package (and while on a trial). Therefore, you can save some money before going live by using the Delayed Streaming data with one of our "Base" packages. Otherwise, if you are wanting real-time data, regardless of whether you get it from Interactive Brokers or from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, you will need to be on one of our "Integrated" packages and you will need to pay for the data. Refer to the information for the packages at the following link: Description of Service Packages and Pricing When you are ready to change to a paid package, follow the instructions at the following link: Sierra Chart Purchase and License Information: Instructions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
