Refer to the Setup Instructions for CQG here:
CQG Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions

If you will be using a different provider than CQG, then refer to the following page to find your provider, follow the link for that provider and look for the Setup Instructions on that page for that particular company:

HI writing in this thread, not to open another one_
I have almost finish the 14 trial and was about to Activate subscription... after having finished reading lots of pages of the Sierra Documentation
and I'll be damned, Iam sorry almost all is clear and well written, but i got the last doubt about the Total fees, due to what i have read_

I thought that the overall Total Cost to start with, would be paying for:
-Sierra Software Fees (Service Package 5) to Sierra... and
-Real-time Exchange Fees (to a Broker, of course with a funded account/ "if not using Sierra Chart Real-Time and Historical Exchange Data Feed" )


-However now i see that the charges might be more?

-Sierra Software Fees (Service Package 5) / to Sierra
-Exchange Fees + to exchange
-Data Connection Fees to Sierra or to Broker ?
-If i pay for Data trough a Brokerage, do i need to pay also Sierra for data ? 35?

Is this correct? Not in any way disputing, only trying to understand what i need to pay to start_
Forex was much easy and never had this kind of Problem during subscriptions...
Thank you

Real-time futures data is not included with the Sierra Chart Service Packages,
and is instead supported and provided by many of the Data and Trading services
that provide futures trading and futures data feeds, which are listed in the Supported Data/Trading Services section.
Many of the supported Trading services will provide a temporary trial for you to receive real-time futures data.
Check with them about this. These are external services.

Futures data is also provided by the Sierra Chart Real-Time and Historical Exchange Data Feed which has to be separately activated and paid for...

So do you require real-time futures data? And if so who is your futures broker?

HI, thanx yes I will do day trading with Futures, so I need real time data tick by tick
because i want to use especially the Number Bars Studies_
and i was advised to use Amp which should give me a Cqg connection to Sierra_
When i asked Amp they told me which exchanges i require, and i said I need all CME Bundle
but they were not able to answer how it works with Sierra_
Perhaps i was not lucky to get the right person and should try again...
I just wanted to have a clear situation of what are all the associated costs ,,

In this case you just need to use Sierra Chart service package 5:

This is going to be your only cost.
