Hi,
I plan to use Sierra Chart for execution, mainly for your risk management feature Global Profit/Loss Management and then perhaps for charting in the future. I have a couple of questions based on this. Please be so kind as to answer them

1. I have an account with FXCM, can I try out trading within this trial period? as the main purpose is to test the Risk Management feature, which can be tested with real trades. I have anecdotal evidence that this works with futures, just wanted confirmation for CfDs. Do I need to intimate FXCM about the change to Sierra from Ninja? settings are different etc?

2. Can I connect to multiple providers/brokers at the same time e.g. FXCM for execution and IQFEED/Kinetick for Data?

Thanks

1. Yes. However, you have to go through the instructions here which is not a fast process:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/FXCMTrading.php#Setup

Going through that process is not recommended just for testing.

2. Yes. Refer to:
Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time

But instead of using IQ Feed we recommend using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:
