Switching to Sierra Chart as trading Platform

Dear Sierra Chart team,

Currently I am using the TT platform for trading and Sierra Chart only for charting. After having used Sierra Chart and having found it is an extremely good tool, I would like to use Sierra Chart also as my trading platform.

I have a couple of questions:
1) I have a trading account with AMP Futures and, when I want to change my data feed to Sierra Chart I have 3 options (see attached picture: CQG, Rithmic and CTS). Which one am I supposed to select to be able to trade on Sierra Chart?
2) Today I am paying for 2 datafeeds. One I use for TT trading and the other one I use with Sierra Chart for charting since the datafeeds are not compatible. When I finally trade with Sierra Chart only, I understand Sierra Chart can use the datafeed from my Clearer and will not have to pay for two separate datafeeds, is this correct?

Is there anything else I need to know to start trading with Sierra Chart and cancel my access completely to TT?

Thanks a lot!

1. We would not change anything in regards to that setting.

Complete this form:

2. Not in the case of TT. You do need to use one of the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feeds for this. And you are much much better off by doing so anyway.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I have already filled out this form in the past because I wanted to use the lower-priced CME fees. Do I need to fill it out again? As far as I understand my Sierra Chart is already linked with my account with AMP Futures. You can check my closed tickets for your reference.

I am sorry, but sometimes all this information is so confusing.

Here is a summary of what I want to do just so that I am as clear as possible.

I am currently using TT platform for trading. I am using Sierra Chart just for charting. I will cancel my access to the TT platform because I want to use Sierra Chart for trading and charting. Just a couple of weeks ago I filled out the Routing Service Trading Account Form to activate the lower-priced CME fees.

So is there anything else I need to do or am I good to go?

Thanks again,
Ernesto
