Hello, I'm aware that in order to get live CME data you must have a live funded account, however I only want live CME data in order to be able to paper trade, as I have no funds. But in the process of trying to open a brokered account, every brokerage denies me due to not meeting risk parameters/not having enough funds. Is there any way around this issue, or is paper trading on Sierra simply an impossibility for people who have no funds/income? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-12 17:35:44

Paper trading the CME Group with real-time data on Sierra Chart is impossible for people who have no funds/income and can not qualify for a live, funded, futures trading account. Keep in mind that this requirement comes from the CME Group. We just enforce what they tell us we have to do, in order to be able to provide the data at all. But, if you are wanting to do paper trading, then there is no reason to be using real-time data. You can paper trade in Sierra Chart using our Delayed Streaming data, which, for the CME Group, is delayed by 10 minutes and 10 seconds. But this data acts like real-time data in all aspects. In addition, this can save you a lot of money. Refer to the following: Delayed Exchange Data Feed In addition, with the Delayed Streaming Data you can use the built-in Simulation Mode in Sierra Chart, or you can use our "Simulated Futures Trading System". Refer to the following: Simulated Futures Trading Service For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
