Hello,

I signed up for a trial which is about to end in two days. I also have an active account with Thinkorswim. Yesterday, I successfully connected to TOS for futures data. But today, I am not able to get live data. My charts are not updating in real time.

I would like to know if Sierra is free when I use data from Thinkorswim? Also, I am referred to Sierra by Ray De Medici, prop teacher of Compass FX but can't get to set my cumulative delta indicator to work like his. I am totally fine with paying a monthly subscription fee to Sierra, but I would like to get my questions answered first. In that regard, I really would appreciate it if I could talk to someone from support. I can call at any time that is of convenience.

Best regards,

Mete Topcuoglu

TD Ameritrade/Think or Swim does not provide historical order real-time futures data with the interface Sierra Chart uses to them. You would never have been able to get real-time data using that connection. Futures historical data comes from the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service.

Sierra Chart is not free. Refer to this page for the pricing:
Description of Service Packages and Pricing

In the case of using Think or Swim, for real-time futures data you need to use the Sierra Chart Real-time Exchange Data Feed:

Also, I am referred to Sierra by Ray De Medici, prop teacher of Compass FX but can't get to set my cumulative delta indicator to work like his.
This is inherently difficult and we need to know the specifics of the Cumulative Delta Calculations they are using and the particular data feed.
