Hi, i'm approaching future trading seriously for the first time. I've dabbed a bit with the delayed demo sierra chart account last year and I would like to papertrade live without starting a payement plan as of yet (testing out platforms) Is it possible to do so? Specifically, I've just setup a demo account with Iron beam, can I connect this to a demo account on sierra? Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-02-18 16:19:42

To start with, we see that this account has not been used for nearly a year, so we have reset the trial for this account. While on a Trial, you have the full capabilities of the system, except for the following: - No connectivity to data and trading services including our own Denali Exchange Data Feed - Limited data as specified at the following link: Sierra Chart Trial Account Therefore, you can not connect to an Ironbeam account (of any kind) while on a Trial. But, you can use our "Simulated Futures Trading Service" while on a trial. You will access the "delayed" version, since you will be working with the delayed streaming data. Refer to the information here: 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 |

Okay thank you, I will try that. Does the simulation mode detailed in your link already account for some slippage & unperfect fill (using the service side) ? Google Gemini is trying to make me locate the "SIMULATION" tab to adjust some tick but it's just not there altough simulation is checked on in the menu (I got SIM in title bar). I'm using SC-Data in the data setting. Thanks |

It uses the position in queue to come up with an estimate of where the fill will occur.

We do not understand the question here. To use the Simulated Futures Trading Service, you set the "Current Selected Service" to "Trading Evaluator - Delayed". Refer to the instructions here: Simulated Futures Trading Service: Setup Instructions When connected to the "Trading Evaluator" you can not put the system in Simulation Mode (i.e. the built-in simulation).
