Post From: Trading with Sierra and AMP

I am about to transfer my trading capital to AMP and trade using Sierra. I have one major issue and another question before I get started.

1. Here is the major issue. The data service I currently use is Sierra Data - All Services. That is only for data however. For live trading, I would think I would need to switch to Sierra Futures Routing. If I switch to Sierra Futures Routing, there is a box that pops up asking me if I want to convert all the symbols. If I say no, all the charts freeze and the DOM has no data. If I say yes, the CME data service it switches to does not quite work for my charts. See the attached png. For the daily ES chart, it does not have data going back more than 4 months.

What is a good way to have trading service along with a good data service? I really like Sierra Data - All Services. If I have to, I will work from two installations but would prefer to avoid that.

Also, if the data service is through Sierra Order Routing, is Denali used somewhere at all?

2. Suppose I submit a market order. My understanding is that sierra sends it to TT with some header information, TT verifies with my broker, and TT routes it to CME. Is that right? Is it the same process for limit and stop orders?

3. Does my broker AMP support OCO orders? If a broker does not support a complex order, such as an attached order with multiple stops and targets, where does the order reside before it goes to CME? In particular, does my desktop have to be up and running for the order to progressively execute or does what remains of a partially executed order reside on Sierra's servers.

4. Right now I have to reload payment to Sierra from time to time. Is there a way to make that automatic?
