Hello Sierra Team :-)
I have two short questions.
I trade CFD through Broker Interactive Brokers.
I now have a question about your data feed.
How exactly does it work with the transmission of the order.
Is not that dangerous when I send an order to InteracticeBrokers based on your data?
I mean, how do I know which data is correct?
Those from your data feed or from Interactive Brokers?
I mean, I'll send a blind order to Interactive Brokers.
An example.
The Facebook stock is displayed at $ 152.00 on your data feed at 12:00.
InteractiveBrokers (TWS) will display the Facebook stock 152.20.
How should I trade with wrong data in the chart? I set the limits then wrong. Or do I understand something wrong here? :-)

My second question would be. Does your data feed also provide data for CFD shares from Switzerland? For example, for the shares UBS Group N, Nestle N, ABB N or Novartis N in the currency CHF?

Thank you for your answers.

We would not expect the data to be different. It definitely will not be different with futures, but only more complete and accurate. If it is with stocks, this could be because stocks can trade on more than one exchange and be reported for more than one exchange. So perhaps Interactive Brokers could be reporting a trade on a particular exchange that the Sierra Chart US equities data feed does not. This we are not really sure about though.

The answer is no.
