New subscriber and need a data feed to run real time TPO charts on Sierra Charts for S&P E-mini Futures?


I have TD Ameritrade, and understand their API is not supported.
Very confused with all the different options for data feeds. Do I need Market Depth?

Should I open up an Interactive Brokers account?
What is my best option for trading Futures?

You do not need market depth data. Did you want just simply the real-time data feed or did you want to trade as well from Sierra Chart?

First priority is the the real time data feed of the ES e-mini futures.
- I can trade futures on TD Ameritrade for now.
- Do I need to pay for a connection service as well as a Exchange service?

In the future maybe I can look into trading on the SC Platform.
- If so, would I need a different broker?

Thanks for you help!

You will need to pay for the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and the CME exchange fee to access the real-time futures data. Follow the setup instructions here:

Yes.
