First, we recommend using our Simulated Futures Trading Service. This is setup where we have one of our servers acting as the marketplace, so the orders are more realistic.. Refer to the information here:
Simulated Futures Trading Service

Second, you can use the Simulated Futures Trading Service with our Delayed Streaming Data Feed. We have delayed data available for the CME Group, EUREX, CFE and NASDAQ TotalView. This data acts, in all ways, like the real-time data (including an option for the Simulated Futures Trading Service), except that it is delayed by 10-15 minutes (depending on Exchange). In addition, there is no cost to use the delayed streaming data, and it can be used with package 3 or 5. Refer to the information for the Delayed Streaming Data here:
Delayed Exchange Data Feed

If you want Real-Time data, then you will need to be on package 10 or higher and you will have to pay the exchange fees. In addition, if you are wanting data from the CME Group, then in order to get the lower-priced non-professional exchange fees you have to have a live, funded, futures trading account to which you can connect your Sierra Chart software at least once a month.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
