Firstly, I thank you for replying during this long holiday weekend!

I am not a day trader of US Equities and typically only perform historical chart analysis on the weekends. (I have activated the Denali data feed for the live CME futures)
Therefore, I do not need Real Time Data feed for Equities.
My interpretation (after thorough reading of your excellent documentation and support Board threads) was that NB calculations (Bid volume and Ask Volume data) were available via SC Historical Data feed.
I have the following setting -
Global Settings > Data/Trade Service Settings >> Allow support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds - set to YES

In previous user's support board questions you have mentioned that NBs (Footprint Charts) for equities are possible using the SC historical data feed. Is this impression wrong?

If the only way to get NB Studies is by activating the US Equities exchange for real time data, then I will happily do that.
This incredibly powerful software is fun and at the same time a challenge to the intellect! I would gladly pay for the real time data feed but if I can get the values through the free SC historical data then why pay?

While I am waiting for your reply, here is another small issue -
The DTS window that comes up in my latest version of the SC looks different from what is shown in your documentation.
I have attached a screenshot of this window.
Thank you
