i am trying to set up data through Sierra Charts.
I use SC just for data and charting.
I have a seperate account to execute trades and that is through Interactive Brokers.

I need to set up real-time data for TSX Equities, U.S. Equities, GLBX(CME), Russel,NASDAQ and NYSE Indices.

Can you help me?

Do you want to obtain this data from Interactive Brokers or the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed?

Information about the Sierra Chart exchange data feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

Also real-time NYSE indices are no longer available from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.

If you want to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed, the page linked to above has all of the instructions you need.

Just follow through the step-by-step instructions here to activate the data feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Setup Instructions

And make sure you set Sierra Chart to use Interactive Brokers as the Trading Service as explained here:

We can go ahead and activate exchanges for you now. But we need you to tell us what specific exchanges from this list you want activated:
https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ExchangeDataFeedFeatures#Exchanges

If you are considered a professional (Let us know), then you do have to pay the higher priced CME exchange fees. If we need you to add additional credit to your account, we will let you know how much.

You also paid for two real-time connections. We canceled the second one.

Will not be responding to your account support tickets any further. Further discussion on this matter will be in this thread only.

Also, there is no telephone support for all the time involved with exchange fees and whether you are a professional or not and exchange agreements. Unless you want to pay for that time at 75 USD per hour.

We have activated the following exchange for you:

-CME, For professionals and users without a trading account

In regards to TSX, we have contacted Barchart about this. In the case of US equities professional, there is a special procedure to go through for this and the cost is:
AMEX $24 billed by the exchange
NYSE $50 billed by the exchange
NASDAQ $25 billed by Barchart

US equities professional is only offered as a package and all of these fees have to be paid. You cannot just get the NYSE.

Barchart has activated your account for AMEX, NYSE and NASDAQ.


Response from Barchart regarding TSX:

The user qualified as a professional so the professional TSX exchange would need to be activated using the code TZ. The cost for the professional TSX data is $78.75 a month as opposed to $36.75 for the non-professional. Please let em know if you would like me to add this.

Your Services Balance is not sufficient for the TSX Exchange Fee. You need to have a Services Balance of at least 78.75 USD.

You can top up you Services Balance here:

thanks for all your help.
Do I need to have a live datafeed from Interactive Brokers or is it sufficient that I have a live trading account?

The exchange fee you are paying for does not require a live trading account.

why cant i get data on the e mini NQ, as i requested cme/gblx data?
You should have no trouble with this.

This symbol is NQH18.
