Since Sierra Chart can connect to Interactive Brokers, you can use an Interactive Brokers account to qualify for the CME Group Non-Professional requirement. But it has to be a live trading account - a paper trading account does not count towards the requirement. You would first need to redo your agreements at the following link, entering "Interactive Brokers" for the "Clearing Firm" and entering your "Account Number": https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ExchangeAgreements_CME Then, to connect Sierra Chart to Interactive Brokers, follow these instructions: Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions If you are not going to stay connected to Interactive Brokers all the time, then keep in mind that you need to connect at least once a month for verification. Refer to the following: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Connecting Only Once a Month to Trading Account to Support CME Group Exchange Fees For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
