Post From: $SPX historical intraday appears to be 40 minutes delayed?

Are you saying that if I use the symbol $INX, then I will get 15-minute delayed historical data with the Standard Sierra Chart Service Packages. Whereas $SPX is delayed by as much as 40-50 minutes, which I observed?

My primary need for SierraChart is historical daily and 1-minute bars for US stocks and indexes. Do I need the real-time packages if I am OK with 15-minute delay on their prices, which I use in indicators and lookback periods of my algos. My real-time prices and trading will be through Etrade.

For example, I will be trading SPX options but indicators are derived from the SPX index prices. Are you saying INX will be the same as SPX for my purpose, with INX being more updated than SPX?

Thanks.
