Hello,

I'm currently interested in purchasing Service Package 5. To use it with real time US futures data, I would need to purchase Sierra Chart Futures Order Routing Service With Data to go with it ,correct? Would I also need to purchase real time data as well? My current platform is Interactive Brokers if that helps.

My apologies for the basic question, I'm a little lost trying to understand it all.

Best,
Eric

We do not recommend Interactive Brokers for futures trading as explained in our Introduction section here:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Introduction

We only recommend using the Sierra Chart order routing service which is documented here:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service


When using the Sierra Chart order routing service, you will need to use one of the data feeds documented here:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart


If you are only interested in using Sierra Chart with Interactive Brokers for futures trading, please be advised we do not want your business and it is a serious mistake by using Interactive Brokers.

Now if you are interested in using Sierra Chart just for charting purposes, then our warnings above about interactive Brokers do not apply but still to take advantage of the lower-priced exchange fees you need to have a trading account and the recommended method for confirming this is documented here:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
