Post From: Question about switching brokers and getting stock datafeed

Hi SC Support, I hope you and your families are staying healthy. I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with: 1. In light of the posts you have made about Interactive Brokers, I am going to seriously look into changing to a different broker and FCM. Since that will mean making some significant changes to my data service, routing, etc. and we're nearing the end of the month, will it be possible for you to "hold" my account until I get things sorted out? If I don't pay for next month's exchange fees and data will that happen automatically? What I'm trying to avoid is a $400+ bill from CME because I won't be connected to a funded account at the start of the month if I work on applying for a new account over the next few days and put off paying for next months services until that's taken care of. 2. I want to avoid going through this sort of thing again, so is Tradovate in conjunction with Dorman as the FCM a combination that you'd recommend or do you recommend something else? If I'm making the switch anyway, I'd rather go with whatever combination of services you've found to work most reliably. 3. Unrelated to the questions above, but if I opt to receive data on some stocks like APPL and NVDA, would features on Sierra Chart such as cumulative delta, number bars, volume profile, and Market Profile work accurately (I realize that the tick size may need to be set higher than 0.01)? I'm wondering if those studies would work since equities don't trade on a centralized exchange. I would likely execute trades through ThinkorSwim, but Sierra Chart is significantly more robust and feature-rich so I'd like to be able to do my analysis on this platform. Thank you for your time. |
