Post From: Which Datafeed for Simulation Trading?

Maybe I can also provide a little guide for this as I was in somewhat similar shoes. I am on SC trial and I also have AMP account.

You have (at least) two options for simulated trading in SC on real time futures data feed:

a) if you have a FUNDED AMP live account (minimum 100 USD for this) than you can ask SC to link your funded AMP live account to your SC account, thus you will can use SC in simulation mode using your funded live AMP/CQG futures feed (and you dont have to pay data feed and maybe for exchange fees either only the regular monthly platform service fee for SC).

b) if you do not have a FUNDED live MAP account, than it is gonna be more complicated and by time costy, because in this case you will have to subscribe here on your SC account for SC Real Time Exchange data feed (monthly cost, but there is a 14 days 5 USD trial), also for your selected exchanges (fees apply, but there is a max 30d trial, 14 days to go as of today). Plus the SC platform fee. And after the exchange fee trial ends, they will became very very expensive WITHOUT a proven live and funded broker account... Exchange fees (access) are 3-10 times higher priced for users without a FUNDED live broker account)

I would say fund your AMP account asap by 100 USD and you are good to go...

Other options may exist that I am not familiar with.

But read this: About Real-time Futures Data
