Hello -

If I only have a Tradovate account how would I connect to perform the once a month trading account connection? Please advise.

You cannot use Tradeovate to validate your CME Non-Professinoal status with Sierra Chart. We therefore recommend you use this option:

Look, we are not going to waste our time on all of these endless, CME market data issues authorization issues. We do not like CME market data policy and we are going to put forth the easiest solution which is less of a burden on us.

If you think there is a way to validate the account, then you do it. You can help the user. Not us.

It is about as dumb as can be, for us to put forth a solution which is burdensome on us. That is behind us. Totally behind us. If you think there is a way, then do it and do not bother us with it.

Distributor Validation, Administration of Self-Certification Forms and Monitoring:

Distributor and Distributor Group shall validate that each Non-Professional Subscriber has an Order Routing Device provided by Distributor or Distributor Group and shall also administer Self-Certification Forms for Non-Professional Subscribers, as further detailed below.
Exhibit A to this Schedule 4 (the “Self-Certification Form”) or a form substantially equivalent thereto must be completed and returned to Distributor for a Subscriber to qualify as a NonProfessional.
Distributor shall administer the Self-Certification Form for Non-Professional Subscribers and shall review such Self-Certification Forms so as to exclude from certification any Subscriber that does not, to the Distributor’s reasonable knowledge, qualify as a Non-Professional.
Distributor will monitor and manage the total number of units per NonProfessional Subscriber, and not entitle more than two (2) Order Routing Devices per Non-Professional Subscriber.

Respectfully, I'm just genuinely confused. Don't you meet their requirements? How are the other data providers doing this without physically validating trading accounts?

That definitively cannot be used by itself. This is known to lead to rampant noncompliance which we cannot allow.

If connecting to Tradovate via CQG, does that verify a trading account the same as any other CQG FCM? I'm thinking of switching for the commissions..
