so it's possible to use Sierra Chart forex data to chart and execute trades through LMAX?

Why would you want to do that?

In regards to post #5, yes technically but it is more complicated in the case of LMAX. To do this in the case of LMAX you need to use this method:

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#AccessingMarketDataFromOtherInstancesOfSierra%20Chart

So you would need to have another installation of Sierra Chart installed using SC Data-All Services and access the EURUSD data from that instance in the instance connected to LMAX.

"Why would you want to do that?"

I like the way SC Forex data looks in SC (FXCM I guess) compared to LMAX but I prefer LMAX to FXCM for execution... FXCM variable spreads as far as I understand it require a min. 20k balance.
