Hello, it is my first try of SierraChart. Was looking for all over the internet, and answers differs. I have a trader funding account with APEX, and a rithmic account for data. What do I need to be able to trade NQ/MNQ with orderflow/Volume/Delta, with real-time level 2 data. Thank you. |

In order to be able to connect to data and trading services you need to be on one of the "Integrated" packages. Since you mention "Orderflow", we assume you will need the Numbers Bars study, in which case you need an "Advanced" package. Therefore, you would be best served with the "Integrated Advanced" package. But there is also the "Integrated Advanced with MBO" package, if you need Market by Order data (for this you would have to get your data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed). Refer to the information on the packages at the following link: Description of Service Packages and Pricing: Packages To connect to Rithmic, follow these instructions: Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions You can also get your data from Rithmic. Just be aware that there is a lack of historical data, so if you need data going back in time, then you will need to get your data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed. Just be aware that in order to get the CME Group data at the non-professional rates, you need to have a live, funded, futures trading account. And you need to connect your Sierra Chart software to that account at least once a month for verification. Refer to the following: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

So, if I understood correctly. I have a Apex trader funding and rithmic account. And need the orderflow/Footprint/volume/delta to work with real-time data. Level II data. So I need to connect to my Rithmic and have a Service Package 10 or higher. That is it? |

For "Footprints" you need to be on one of the "Advanced" packages, as the Numbers Bars study is only available with that package. So most likely you would be on the "Integrated Advanced" package.

Ok, I think I understand now how to setup with Rithmic data. So for other choice, to connect to Denali data, I'll need my Apex (with Rithmic) trader funding account + Denali Exchange Data Feed (Advanced Package for 46 USD). Do I need something else? |

If you want to get the data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, then you also need to have a live, funded, futures trading account. And you need to connect your Sierra Chart software to that account at least once a month for verification. Prop firm accounts, like Apex, do not count toward this requirement.
