Hi all, i would like to try the heatmap/market depth historical graph and i intend to use it only for stocks so my question is, will it be sufficient to add the "U.S Equities" exhange fees package for $10.50/month in order to use the heatmap? Or do i need full market depth data from external provider to use the heatmap?

I couldnĀ“t find an answer to this question

You need the full market depth (or at least some number of levels), which the U.S. Equities that are part of the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed does not have. It only has the Best Bid/Best Ask information.

To get the data into Sierra Chart, the only good solution is to use Interactive Brokers. Refer to the information here:

Ok, thank you for fast reply.

Is there any chance Sierra will offer full market depth for stocks in the future?

Yes, we are working on a new feed that will have this, but it is still several months away.
