Hello.
I am finishing my system ( Trading Hedge ) but I need to read the prices at 1ms max from source.
FXCM its on NY ( 1 ms from myVPS)
myVPS its on NY too

Your Proxy fxcm2.sierracharts.com using as gateway for read prices from FXCM its located on Chicago ( 25 ms from me and from FXCM too )
So, If I want to read a price then I receive a tick with 50ms delay . ( I know 50ms may appear very low but I need to read at 1 ms or less)
I want to request 2 posible solutions:
a) If its absolutly necesary read prices via sierrachart servers then please put/move a fxcm3.sierracharts.com to NewYork.
or
b) Allow to customers with FIX FXCM Real Accounts ( as me ) have direct conection to Data Server FXCM, this its to fixreal.fxcorporate.com.

Thanks in advance.

Just give us a couple of days and we will give you the ability to connect to the FXCM price feed directly.

This capability exists but we just have to enable it for the version for users.

There are new settings in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Connection Details to support this.

Make sure you specify the Market Data Sender Comp ID. We assume you are technically competent enough to understand the settings and to have them set properly.

Thanks.
I already connected,( I configured Market Dat Sender Comp ID ). I see now connection to :9030 port, I receive now rates but I see diferent spread.
With your servers ( Use Data Feed 2 true ) spread its about 0.3 pips ( average )
With direct to fxcm ( Use Date feed 2 false & Direct FIX true ) = 1.3 pips
Why is this diference?
I noted in TerminalStationII ( fxcm ) the spread its 0.3

Thanks in advance

I am also noting still traffic to ds5.sierracharts.com:443 similar to fixreal.fxcorporate.com:9030.

My config its:
Use Data Feed 2 = False
Use Direct FIX = True
Maket Data Sender = XX_YYYY_client

When using the direct FIX connection for market data, "Use Data Feed 2" is ignored.

Restart Sierra Chart and only open a chart for one symbol. After that post a copy of the Message Log so we can confirm the market data connection.
Here are instructions:

Refer to the prior post.

Also, in regards to the spreads, we cannot comment on that at all. You must completely rely upon FXCM for any questions in regards to that.
