Hello, I am currently using Sierra chart through AMP futures. But I also have a TD Ameritrade funded account and would like to use Sierra chart for stock/index charts (not futures). I tried connecting to the TD AMeritrade data feed as instructed on your website but am not able to do so. I noticed that under the "Service" box in Data/Trade service settings that it says "not enabled on package" next to TD Ameritrade.
How can I connect to TD Ameritrade to use Sierra chart?

Thank you,
Kevin

Just so that I am clear, does this mean I would have to pay the monthly cost for using Sierra chart once I create a direct account to use with TD Ameritrade? The reason I ask is because I don't have to do that right now using AMP futures. Sierra chart is free through AMP.

I also have an FXCM account and am wondering the same thing. So do you know if TD Ameritrade and FXCM offer the ability to use Sierra chart through them for free?

Thank you,
Kevin

Yes, you will need to pay for a direct account which will support TD Ameritrade and FXCM. Pricing can be found here:

However, the prices are still relatively low.

No they do not.

If I go back to a direct SC account. Then connect my TD Ameritrade data feed, How can I get realtime execution through Sierra charts? ie. If I wanted to day trade a stock I can access via my TD Ameritrade data feed, can I do the realtime execution through SC? If not, is there something else I would need for this? I take it as a given I would need direct SC feed and realtime enabled.

Sierra Chart does not support TD Ameritrade in any way any longer.
