Hi,

Why I don't have real time data in seconds and minutes on YM, ES, and indexs such as Dow Jones index and SP500 index?

Thanks,

We see you are using TD Ameritrade and real-time futures data is not available with that service. Refer to this page:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/FuturesData.php

For real-time cash index data, you need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:

I have looked at your forums some to see if this was covered earlier, but did not see anything. Since late 2017 TD-Ameritrade has a new / current superset API for developers. They now support Futures and other types of markets. As of about 1 month ago, they only supported futures data, but said they are working on futures trading services as well. I was able to sing up for the developer API, so it is not a closed 'thing' any more.

What is the possibility of you updating your connection to TDA to handle real time futures?

I can provide you with my communications with the API mgr if you would like privately.

Our development focus now is developing and enhancing Sierra Chart functionality itself and not working with external APIs.

And also continuing development with server-side trading functionality and exchange functionality.

There is basically 0% chance we would even involve ourselves in this new TD Ameritrade API. For futures, we support many systems. We support CQG, CTS, Rithmic, Interactive Brokers and Transact and that is more than enough. We are just simply not going to involve ourselves with something else. Once again there is 0% chance we would even look at this or consider it for a second.
