Looking to evaluate

Hi, I was looking to evaluate Sierra Chart for a month or less, but first have some basic questions.

- I use Interactive Brokers, but think their data fee is very poor through their api (based on performance with other apps I evaluated). Can I use your data feed service and just link to IB for trade orders, and if so, would I need to have market subscription with IB as well as with Sierra?
- I trade stocks, so need US Equities (NASDAQ/NYSE) data feed along with TICK and VIX (CBOE indexes?). Also could use LEVEL II data if this is possible (could not spot it on the pricing sheet). Please let me know the price for 100 symbols and the required subscriptions (I think around $51/mnth?)

I am thinking of starting my evaluation in Sept, after summer vacations are over. Is there anything special I need to do to get more than the standard evaluation period of 13 days? The program looks rather complex (but powerful) so I would like to take some time to learn it before making a decision.

Thanks,

Yes this is possible. It is explained here:

This is supported except level 2 data. Pricing is explained here:

Your estimate sounds about right.

You can request a time extension. Just let us know when you are ready for that.
