Post From: SierraChart Data with Execution Through Gain Capital

I have read the documentation on that page and performed the recommended steps.

The main issue is that if I connect to the Gain data feed rather than SC, whenever I go into the Find Symbol menu, only Gain's symbols are listed but SC's are not.

For example, I have a chart of nymex-traded cocoa, symbol CJH19, which SC provides data for. If I disconnect from SC data and connect to Gain data, the chart gives a symbol error. Now, if I go to Find Symbol to fix the error, nymex-traded cocoa isn't listed because Gain doesn't provide data for that instrument. Please see screenshots below.

Moreover, SC's data feed has numerous other futures symbols that Gain doesn't provide. I'm willing to pay SC for these because I want to have access to them. However, it seems that if I want to use SC as an execution platform (as opposed to purely charting), I will not have access to these symbols because the execution and data are conflated in SC. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks.
