Hi there, I currently use Sierra Charts, and your data via my account at Interactive Brokers, to view chart info for a variety of futures products. This is because I can see volume data, and then use this data to construct volume profiles. However, I do not trade through my Interactive Brokers account because of their ridiculously high trading fees/commissions (not your problem). As such, my SC/IB charting is simply that-a (somewhat unwieldy) charting and data package. I actually execute my trades via the spot fx/cfd markets through LMAX at the moment, and this is done manually which as you can imagine is not exactly ideal. I have found out that I can actually trade through LMAX via SC and am extremely happy to hear this. However, I am not sure if it is possible to actually do this in reality? I will need to connect with the futures data from the SC/IB data connection in order to construct volume profile charts etc in SC. I will then need to also connect with LMAX data in SC. I will trade off their datafeed which connects to their system in order to trade off the spot fx/cfd charts. Is it possible to do this? Can I have two incoming data connections? If not, is there a workaround i.e. two separate versions of Sierra Charts up and running etc? Thanks, hope all that makes sense. Bootsy |

You will need to run two separate copies of Sierra Chart. Here are instructions: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time In order to receive the CME futures data at the lower-priced exchange fee, you do need to be connected to your Interactive Brokers account. So you need a copy connected to Interactive Brokers for futures data. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
