in other words,is it allowed and technically supported to receive CME data through a live funded account, but place trades through a different service like Earn2tarde within Sierra chart ?
The answer to this specific question is that this is fully allowed. As long as your "Verified Until" date is in the future, then you are verified as a Non-Professional for the CME Group. This date is how we keep track of this. It does not matter what trading service you are connecting to as long as that date is in the future. You can view your Verified Until date at the following link: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=DenaliDataFeed#Exchanges One item of note - if you are using a Teton account, then you do not actually need to connect once a month to your live account. This is handled "behind the scenes" for Teton accounts. So as long as your account with "Edge Clear" (or whatever broker) is valid, then your "Verified Until" date will automatically update regardless of you making a connection to that account or not. We do want to explain the other side of this, in that if you do not have a live account that qualifies, you will still be able to get real-time data until your "Verified Until" date is in the past. Connecting to a Prop Firm account (such as Earn2Trade) does not count towards the requirement of a live trading account. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
