Hello, I would like to trade LMAX CFD German 30 (GDAXI) instrument directly from FDAX futures (DY) chart. Is it possible to trade CFD directly from futures chart? There is an option in Chart/Chart Settins/ Trade and Current Quote Symbol which allow this, but there are two different datafeeds. |

You can try this, but we think it might get confusing. You will need to run two different copies of Sierra Chart for this. One for LMAX and another using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed for the futures. Here is the relevant documentation for this: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/FileMenu.html#FileFindSymbol_OpenChartFromAnotherInstance Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you for your help, I set DY (futures) at Symbol column, GDAXI (CFD) at Trade and Current Quote Symbol column and it works, but because CFD has not same price as futures (for example futures price is 12500 and at the same time CFD price is 12508), I can not enter the CFD market on correct price - if I want to enter the CFD market on futures price 12500, which is 12508 CFD, order is placed on 12500 CFD price. In chart values window is GDAXI symbol and price is 12500. Is there any way how to enter the position on the correct CFD price, but from the futures chart? Thank you |

We understand what you are saying. Maybe you could try to set a custom Multiplier using the Real-time and Historical Price Multipliers in Chart Settings to adjust the futures prices to match. Refer to: Chart Settings: Real-Time Price Multiplier (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
