Post From: Announcement: New Sierra Chart Real-Time Futures Data Feed (CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX data)

In this whole discussion I need to be clarified on one issue:

In the SC menu item data/trade service settings I am only given one option among many to choose. Since I trade through IB I select IB.

Now, since SC has this new data service, and since I also have IQFeed I was never able to ascertain whether I was looking at an indicator that ran on tick data (from IQFeed and now from SC) or from IB data, which is not as reliable for volume studies.

So, I want to know for sure, if I have IB selected as my data service, (I only have one choice!) will SC independently, in the background, automatically download tick data from the CME and feed that data into my volume indicators?

I'm sorry about being such a noob, but I have never found a clear explanation about this issue.
