Post From: Notice: Upcoming CME Exchange Fees

At this time, due to changes with CME exchange fees, it is our tentative decision that we will *not* be supporting CME market data to be provided separately to users without trading accounts from trading services that Sierra Chart supports.

The reason for this is the CME will be charging 90 USD per month per each sub exchange (CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX) to access their market data if you do not have a trading account. This would mean the total fees could be as high as 360 USD per month.

Since Sierra Chart uses an automated method to verify whether you have a trading account or not, if you are not using one of the supported trading services with Sierra Chart, you will not be able to access the data even if you happen to have a trading account.

Therefore, if you are fine paying the high exchange fees beginning March 1, and you do not have a trading account or you have a trading account but not with one of the supported trading services that Sierra Chart supports, our recommendation is to go to an outside data provider like IQ Feed to get the market data feed:

It would actually probably be more cost-effective for you to open a futures trading account with a low-cost supported Trading service, who will open the account with a $1000 balance, and use that account to access the market data at greatly reduced exchange fees.



Hope that was clear.
