Hello, I would like to use sierra charts for market data and charting only. I already use a trading platform (Sterling Trader). What is the next step I need to do to get started. I do not know which data feed to activate. Thank you.

What Market Data are you wanting to chart?

If you are wanting Futures data, then refer to the following:
Is Historical and Real-time Futures Data Included?
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

We assume that you are referring to the CME Group for these index futures (such as YM, NQ, and ES). As such, you would need the Denali Exchange Data Feed. Refer to the following, which includes Setup Instructions:
Denali Exchange Data Feed

Just be fully aware of the CME Group requirement that you have a Futures Trading Account that we can validate in order to qualify for the Non-Professional exchange fees. Refer to the following:

I am not trading futures. I only need charting data for all the major exchanges. I do not need to link a trading account. I just want to use sierra for charting real time data.
