Hello,

I am currently using Interactive Brokers as my trading service. I have live data with them for both futures and stocks. However, tick charts for futures are not displaying correctly in Sierra. I understand this is because Interactive Brokers does not send data correctly or something like that. That's why I am planning to subscribe to Sierra Chart's Exchange Data Feed and the Full CME Group exchange. However, I do not have a problem with the real-time streaming data Interactive Brokers provides for stocks. I don't want to pay extra for stocks data with the Sierra Exchange Data Feed. So I wanted to inquire whether I can receive futures data from the Sierra Exchange Data Feed while continuing to receive stocks data from my feed from Interactive Brokers.

Thank you for all you do. Your service and support have been excellent and it has been a pleasure using Sierra Chart these past few months.

The answer is yes. There is nothing special to do. This will automatically be the case.

Thank you. May I ask, just for better understanding, how does Sierra Chart determine which data stream to prioritize? For example, if I am receiving data for stocks from both the Sierra Exchange and Interactive Brokers, will Sierra Chart go with the Exchange? But in the case that I am not subscribed to stocks data with Sierra Exchange, but I receive stocks data from Interactive Brokers, Sierra Chart will then load the data from Interactive Brokers?

This is how it will work in this case.
