Hi John, Sierra Chart, My question relates to the Computer Hardware/Data Feed Configuration you would recommend for day trading e-mini S&P Futures, and would greatly value your advice on this. I will only use Sierra Chart as my charting & analytics provider as am very happy with the platform’s functionality, customization and the invaluable support. My understanding is that, once I open a broker trading account, l can then select (via the broker) the data feed to access real-time tick by tick data i.e., the broker will provide me access to real-time CME data through the data feed vendor to connect to my Sierra Charts. Question 1 Given the 2 types of feeds for market access (Execution & Data Only) will say, the CQG data feed provide me in your opinion, low latency, robust, and quality CME data to feed into my Sierra for both order routing and analytics? Or Would your Dinali – option 4 (CME with Market Depth for non-professional trading account for $11.4p/month be better as it could provide better connectivity seeing as it was developed in house? Question 2 I’m currently subscribed to your 10-minute delayed platform running, SC off a laptop. As I’m hoping to live trade soon, what RAM/CPU computer spec would you recommend for my trading setup using 3-4 monitors? (My trading style is short-term/scalping predominately using order flow – DOM & Footprint) Thank you as always for your help and any advice regarding the above will be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Stephen |
