pricing exchange data feed confusion

I am currently subscribed to SC package 5 and have a broker data feed paid with a monthly exchange data feed. cme bundle $15 and eurex about $20 per month.

I would, however, like to you sierra chart's own realtime and historical data feed to get minute bars going back many years etc.

I am confused however to the pricing. The page which details this explains you must have a broker account. Yes I have a broker account but is it a requirement to have the exchange non professional fees paid through them already?

The pricing page here states first 100 symbols $35 however that doesn't indicate how many symbols are provided with a cme bundle and market data exchange fee chages by SC separately. In-fact it isn't even clear, sorry to be blunt, whether it is necessary to pay two lots of exchange data feeds non professionally to both the broker and the platform.

I can understand if this is a requirement to trade your accounts however can one subscribe to only SC exchange data feed for example cme bundle $35+$15 pm and only trade sim and avoid the extra broker exchange data feed, an additional $15 totalling $65 or can you simply still trade through the broker only paying SC the exchange data fees plus the standard $35 charge.

I hope this is clear. To confuse it even further and to provide some basis for my argument as to the confusion here. How would the $5 two week trial of the SC real time feed actually work without subscribing to SC exchange data feed....the trial suggests you don't have to and know-where does it say , yes you will infact pay for two exchange fees one by the broker and one by the platform.

to summarise:
please can support shed some light on this. I would like a eurex and cme bundle package with SC real time feed. How many symbols is that, how much will it cost me? Is it a $35 or $55 base plus $15 cme SC exchange fees or do I not have to pay this because I am already paying it through the broker? thankyou for reading

We do not think you need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed if this is your only objective:

I would, however, like to you sierra chart's own realtime and historical data feed to get minute bars going back many years etc.

You just need to use the Continuous Futures Contract feature:

No.

The pricing page here states first 100 symbols $35 however that doesn't indicate how many symbols are provided with a cme bundle and market data exchange fee chages by SC separately.
It is clear that the limit is 100 real-time symbols at 35 USD per month. The exchange fees have no impact upon how many real-time symbols you have access to.

can one subscribe to only SC exchange data feed for example cme bundle $35+$15 pm and only trade sim and avoid the extra broker exchange data feed,
Yes.

How would the $5 two week trial of the SC real time feed actually work without subscribing to SC exchange data feed....the trial suggests you don't have to and know-where does it say , yes you will infact pay for two exchange fees one by the broker and one by the platform.
The 5 USD trial cost gives you access for the data feed for up to two weeks. That is abundantly clear. There should be no confusion here.

The cost of the data feed is 35 USD per month, plus exchange fees.

what if you are already paying the professional or non professional fees privately through the broker? Can you then just activate the sierra chart live connection e.g $35 per month for 100 symbols and you won't be charged by sierra twice for the non professional fees?

Or could you have a brokerage account and not pay the cme fees through them and then opt to pay only the cme fees through sierra chart. I understand you must have a brokerage account to take advantage of the lower cme fees however it is confusing as that suggests you have to pay the cme fees twice to activate your exchange feed.

Have I misunderstood this somewhere? With a broker you have to have the cme fees to trade through the broker however you are asking us to pay the cme fees to you aswell? Would the broker acknowledge that you are paying the cme fees through SC instead of through them?

No.

Yes as long as you do not use your trading service provided data feed.

With a broker you have to have the cme fees to trade through the broker
You should not have to if you are using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.

We see you are using Rithmic.

So you should not have to pay these fees to your broker and just rely on the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.

My apologies in advance for adding to this thread.

Sierracharts - You guys have such a fabulous product but so very confusing is the literature on the pricing that it leads to frustration.

Im going to make this desperate attempt to get some clarification on what I need.

I currently trade with AMP Futures. I use the Jigsaw DOM as a Plugin on MC.Net. I currently pay 15$ CME Non Professional Bundle Fees Monthly (CQG Data).

I want to switch to Sierracharts using the Sierracharts realtime and historical data keeping AMP as my Broker

What do I do ?

I am clear to the point that in order to use the Sierracharts Application, I need to have a Live Futures Account with a Broker. Great I have a Futures Account with AMP Futures.

What I want is to have is the following:
1) Have AMP Futures as my Broker
2) Have Sierracharts as my Execution and Analysis Platform
3) Have Sierracharts realtime and historical Data as my data feed OR what would you suggest as the most economical option here if I want Historical and realtime data and HOW do I go about this

What do I do in order to make this a reality ?

Please hep guys, Im tired of dealing with MC.Net - Its a very heavy heavy application and my system cannot handle it AND because I use Jigsaw as a Plugin on MC.Net, until the Volume data flows into MC.Net it does not get updated on my Jigsaw DOM.

Basically a straight forward step by step would be very much appreciated. Starting from something like calling my Broker and telling them that I dont want the CQG Data Feed anymore and that i would be using Sierracharts Application (From Sierracharts) and Sierracharts real time and historical data


Thanks You,
pd

First, we would recommend using the Sierra Chart Futures Order Routing rather than using CQG for your order routing. This is available through AMP. You will find more information on this here:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

Either way, we can help you get everything setup, but we would need to know if you are going to continue to use CQG with AMP, or if you want to change to the Sierra Chart Order Routing with AMP (or with another broker that supports it).
