Questions about (delayed) simulated trading with SC

Hello,

I want to get back into Futures trading, and would like to use SC for this. I dont want to use a brokers SIM acc., they are usually restricted to something like 2 weeks, and I guess I will need more time to get back into the game.

I still have a SC account which I created years ago to test SC with the Trial Package. Of course this trial period has ended a long time ago. If I want to do SIM trading with SC now, can I still use this existing account ? Do I have to pay/ enable a SC service package or is it possible to SIM trade without any package/ payment ? Is it possible to get a new trial period in this case ?

What kind of data can I expect with the delayed data ? Is it still tick data, just delayed by a few minutes, or is it some kind of filtered/ aggregated data ?

Thank you very much in advance for your support !

We have reactivated your Sierra Chart trial. You can still use this same account. You will need to pay for the Advanced service package after the trial ends.

Sierra Chart now offers a delayed data feed which is tick by tick. No filtering. Here is the documentation:
Delayed Exchange Data Feed

For simulated trading, use this service:

Thank you very much for offering a new trial !

I see there is no streaming data for EUREX futures, can I add EUREX exchange to simulated trading ?

Thanks again, and best regards !

If you want to do EUREX simulated trading as well as the CME group, you would need to pay for and use this data feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

And then you will use that data feed with this service:
Simulated Futures Trading Service

However, you want to use the Trading Evaluator nondelayed service. Not the delayed service.

And you also need to pay for real-time CME data as well which is going to require a trading account as explained here:

Thank you very much for the detailed info !

I like the delayed service that I am using right now through the Sierra Chart free trial. Is it possible to keep testing/ simulated trading like this, with the delayed service ? It would be no problem for me if would have to pay for that, if just the setup would be a bit simpler than the procedure mentioned by you above.
Would it be possible to add EUREX to the delayed service ? No problem if not, my focus is on CME NQ and ES, but it would be a nice addon, if possible.

Thanks again for the great support, and best regards !
