Question 1: Use our Denali Exchange Data Feed. Partially because it was developed in-house and therefore is setup to work well with Sierra Chart, but also because you have access to much more historical data (you can not get any prior contract data from CQG) and it is a high-performance data feed. Your statements have us a bit confused as to whether you will be using Sierra Chart for trading. If you are, then we recommend using our Teton Order Routing Service. Again, this is an in-house built service so it works well with Sierra Chart (it only works with Sierra Chart) and has low-latency. You will find the information on this service at the following link, and a list of brokers at Step #2 of the Setup Instructions on this page: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Question 2: This is hard for us to answer, as there are just so many variables. Some things to consider: - One of the primary things is to ensure you have Solid State drives, preferably NVME, for where you store your Sierra Chart data. - Sierra Chart is not multi-threaded in the core application, but there is another thread used for the data feed. So you do not need a system with a lot of cores. Just make sure you have enough to cover the number of instances that you will be running (each instance will be a single thread) along with the data feed. - At least 16GB of memory. - We recommend an NVIDIA graphics card, in order to allow you to use OpenGL properly (you will need to deal with this in relation to multiple monitors) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
