Hello ,
Could you please point me.

I intend to open an account at Interactive Brokers to trade futures, US stocks and also forex, with Sierra Chart and BookMap Xray :

1- Please confirm that your recommendation is to use Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed to trade correctly with Sierra Chart /IB.
2- In my case (IB+SC+Bookmap), is there the possibility to use also the Rithmic data feed ? what do you think ?
3- Is there a possibility to interface Sierra Chart with Bookmap : Can SC orders be visible at the Bookmap and vice versa?
4- Does Sierra Data Feed cover all futures EUREX(L2) and US(Level 2) ?
5- Does your Data Feed cover all US Stock (with level2) : NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX & OTC ?
6- In case you only offer level 1 for certain US stock data feed, does the Market profile, foot print, Delta still work?
7- Please tell me the limits of the historical data of the Sierra Chart Data Feed (futures, US stocks and forex) ?
8- Through Sierra Chart, Is it possible to connect to IB with 2 different data feed provider, for example: Sierra Chart data feed for futures , and IB data feed for US stocks or others?
9- Does the problem described below in your forum , also occur with Sierra Chart data feeds?
« To open a Historical Chart, an Intraday Chart or a Trading DOM, select File >> Find Symbol on the menu. Locate the symbol in the lists and press the appropriate button. Stock symbols are not listed and have to be manually entered.
If you do not see the symbol listed that you want to use, refer to the Interactive Brokers Symbols page to determine the proper symbol format and manually type the properly formatted symbol into the Selected Symbol box on the Find Symbol window and then open a chart or Trade DOM »

Thank you in advance for your answer.

1. Yes.

2. No, do not do this.

3. This is handled through IB TWS, and there is information about this in the setup instructions here: Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions

But not sure this is going to work fully both ways between Sierra Chart and the other program.

However, Sierra Chart does have the same functionality as bookmap: Market Depth Historical Graph

4. Yes.

5. Yes, but level 1 data only.

6. Yes.

7. Refer to: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: What is Included

and to: Sierra Chart Real Time and Historical Forex and CFD Data Service: What is Included

8. Yes. Refer to: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Integration with Trading Services


9. Documentation in regards to this has been added to IB stock symbols section:
