Post From: Is it possible to configure data feeds as SC only and trade via broker?

Hello,

It seems that as soon as I configure Interactive Brokers as my trading connection I have no choice but to use their data feed, even though I have subscriptions for SC historical / real time feed and CME with depth. I don't have any subscriptions from Interactive Brokers as Sierra covered all my needs up until now. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. I have Global Settings >> Data trade service >> Interactive Brokers. On this panel I have "Allow support for Sierra Chart data feeds" enabled.

From this point of view everything should be fine. But today one of my chart stopped working. It pulls data about few ETFs and combines their change since open into single chart. Everything was working fine until today. I also received message from Interactive Brokers that since today I have to subscribe for their market data and it is no longer provided for free. Price is not a question at the moment, but it would be silly to pay for same thing to two different providers.

So my main question is, is it possible to have Sierra as the only source of my market data via subscriptions mentioned above and place trades via Interactive Brokers? My understanding is as soon as I change dropdown to "SC Data - All services [data]" I can no longer place trades via Interactive Brokers and all symbols change (eg, from ES-201906-GLOBEX to ESM19).

I would like to know about some permanent solution for the issue. It would be great if somehow I could "enable" only certain sources of market data and trading in that Global menu and Sierra would do the rest.

Just for the reference current chart is empty and not showing anything, as like there is no market data coming to my system (even through the Sierra real time feed). And my goal is to have trading environment for CME futures.

Thanks and best regards
