I have been looking for a real time data feed for futures contracts to trade the NQ Emini with Sierra Chart. What is the easiest and most cost effective way to do that? I was using the supplied package as my data feed and didn't realize that Sierra only has historical data. I looked at the datafeed providers but TT is extremely expensive. There has to be an easier cheaper way even with TD Ameritrade no longer in the mix. Has SC set up their own futures access for Real Time?

I was using TD Ameritrade but that was discontinued. I looked at your link and saw this sentence.

"Therefore, to access the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and/or COMEX real-time data from one of the Sierra Chart Data Feeds at the reduced fees, it is necessary to set the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Service in Sierra Chart to use one of the supported Trading services or just connect for 10 seconds once a month then back to SC Data-All Services (or the service for your Simulated trading account)."

Is there a way to get real time futures data for free or to subscribe to it via SC packages? If not, what is the cheapest one for non professionals that is supported by SC?
