Subject: Question about plan + CME exchange cost for Gold (XAUUSD) only

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I have a trial account with $14 balance and I want to trade Gold (XAUUSD) only using Footprint charts and heat map.

I have a chartbook from Ticinotrader that includes:
- Heat map (Market Depth Historical Graph)
- Iceberg detector
- Footprint with delta
- Volume Profile

Currently I can only see candles — no heat map, no depth data.

I have the following questions:

1. Do I need to pay the $26/month software plan FIRST before I can activate any CME exchange?

2. After paying the $26 plan, do I need to pay an additional $13.5/month for the CME exchange with Market Depth?

3. Is the total monthly cost $26 + $13.5 = $39.5/month just to see the heat map and real volume data for Gold futures (GC)?

4. With the plan + CME exchange activated, will the Ticinotrader chartbook heat map work correctly with real Level 2 data?

5. Is there a cheaper option to get real CME data with Market Depth for Gold only?

I only want to trade Gold — I don't need any other markets.

Thank you for your help.

Richard
