Hi i am looking for some assistance, loving the charts so far but trying to work out all the intricacies. Sooo here i go!

I am looking to trade spot fx with futures currency with order flow data (numbers bars and market profile).

Ideally i would like to execute with an fx broker and trade through sierra charts and get the futures data - but i dont have a futures broker account to get the discount on CME full data.

so this then brings me on to this question - can i trade FX through IB have it connected with the the charts and trading service, get the discount with the full data and execute through IB?

can i use the sierra data feed that i am paying for, for currency futures and fx, but then just execute through the charts with IB?

Is this easy enough to set up?

Hope my questions can be answered, and i appreciate what you guys are doing!

Kind regards,

Lorne.

Yes.

Yes if you are referring to the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.

To do what you want requires that you use the Trade and Current Quote Symbol:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

But keep in mind because the pricing is different between the spot Forex market and the futures prices you really can only use market orders. Unless you can somehow adjust the real-time price multiplier to get the prices in line with each other.
