For a smooth transition from my current FXCM to AMP, may I please have the necessary steps/instructions for me to consider all available options.

Required - Traded instrument = DowMini
Required - Live data stream for DAX & HKG (HangSeng) not necessarily for trading but merely for live charting alongside DowMini.

Question is, what is the most feasible setup using SC data services, and or AMP + CQG data services (exchange fees etc.) to minimise all fees.

I also read the below link [Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement], although not entirely sure exactly what this is for … if you could pls clarify, that’d be appreciated.
Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement

Also regarding fees and free SC platform offers from AMP, what would be the best and most feasible option of setting this up.

And regarding using roll-over contracts, will this be seamless within SC or is there be anything in particular I should be aware of?
And any other features/options that may be available for such an AMP account setup. Thank You.

First, you will want to maintain your own Sierra Chart account rather than using an account provided by AMP.

And you will want to use the CQG trading platform service with AMP:
CQG Trading Platform Service


And regarding using roll-over contracts, will this be seamless within SC or is there be anything in particular I should be aware of?
For this you will want to use this option:
General Settings Window: Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)

further instructions please ... AMP account now setup and ready, I've selected "Sierra-CQG>purchased own License directly from SC" and selected the CBOT-$10-Financials package, just for now for setup/testing purposes.

1. For trading YM (CBOT dowMini), is it suggested to subscribe/use SC/CQG or AMP/CQG datafeed?
2. ... and are there any other items/things for me to consider/activate/etc. ?

1. It is fine just to use the CQG feed.

2. Not unless there is some issue you are noticing.

Trying to ascertain all available options to Flatten Open positions in case of … loss of Electricity and/or Internet connection, BUT HAVE separate Mobile-Data Device (Laptop/iPad) …

- Since CQG-AMP does not support “Server Managed Bracket Orders=No” AND CQG’s 1connection only limit
- DTC Server is also not solution, as Mobile-Data (Device) is not on the same Network
- SC Web-Based Trading Panel also does not have function to Flatten Open Positions (at the moment)
>>> = only solution I can see, is, to quickly login to CQG web-trader on Mobile-Device; after power/internet loss

>>> = Other more costly option (I found so far):
SC Futures Order Routing Service – Denali Exchange
10c per contract, in+out cost? or 10c/round-trip?
What cost per/contract if trading Micro 1lot contracts just for live testing SC platform purposes (if SC setup correctly)?
Denali Exchange Data Feed cost = $20/mth
CME (full non-pro no MDepth) = $3.25/mth

Are the “>>>”(above), the only options available for, AMP CQG SC, Server Managed Bracket Orders wanting only to safe-guard connection loss, … or what are the alternatives?

You can flatten positions from this web-based trading panel. This has been supported for months now.

10c per contract, in+out cost? or 10c/round-trip?
.10 per contract per side.

Denali Exchange Data Feed cost = $20/mth
CME (full non-pro no MDepth) = $3.25/mth
Yes this is correct in regards to market data costs.

For server managed bracket orders, you will want to use the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service.
