Adding new data feed

I currently run sierra chart with SC data and standalone interactive brokers TWS. I want to add FTSE 100 futures (ICE Europe financials). If I add this to my monthly SC data subscription, will that negate the need to pay interactive brokers a monthly data fee and will I get real-time quotes on my TWS?
Alternatively I was thinking about paying IB for the ICE Europe financials feed and then running a new instance of sierra chart. Does it matter which way I do it?
Thanks

For real-time data for that particular symbol you will need to use the LIFFE Futures exchange.

No it will not.

But you can access the Interactive Brokers real-time data within Sierra Chart. Follow the instructions here:

Thanks. In that case I think that I will access IB feed via sierra. But can I just check, is it possible to do it the other way around i.e. by subscribing to Liffe futures exchange in sierra / SC data and then using sierra trading service?

Yes you can do this. We assume you are referring to this particular service:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

However, you are going to need to use a different clearing firm rather than Interactive Brokers.

Maybe you could use Marex. We could put you in contact with someone there.

We also have to set up the symbol mappings for that exchange on TT. This is not a problem.

Thanks for the info. Just to confirm. If I were to use this service, my total trading/charting costs would be 1) sierra chart license 2) SC data feed 3) SC routing charge of .10 USD per contract and 4) broker commission (per trade / per contract) to approved clearing firm such as Marex. Zero other costs. Is that correct? I do like the sound of the service but I hadn't planned on changing broker. I would however like to explore further and a contact within Marex might be useful.

Yes that is correct on the pricing.

We will find out someone at Marex for you to contact.

We also realize that we have to go through a conformance though with TT for FTSE 100 futures (ICE Europe financials).
