Hello

I was just curious I think I read there is no way to get CFD data for time and sales to see the large orders...

However I trade CFDs US30 AND XAUUSD

Is there any futures contracts that equal those? ,

I tried different ones and price difference is dramatically OFF.

Id like to to use sierra chart for the Indices / futures time and sales and trade on my platform with the US30 / XAUUSD

This is correct. Refer to the information here for how Sierra Chart handles the Volume information:
Sierra Chart Real Time and Historical Forex and CFD Data Service: Volume Data for Forex and CFD Markets

Is there any futures contracts that equal those?
Yes. US30 would equate to the YM (E-Mini Dow Jones Industrial Average) traded on the CBOT exchange of the CME Group. XAUUSD would equate to the GC (Gold) traded on the COMEX exchange of the CME Group.

The real-time data for these exchanges is available through the Denali Exchange Data Feed. For information on this data feed, refer to the following link, which also includes Setup Instructions:
Denali Exchange Data Feed

The difficult part of getting the data is that the CME Group requires that you have a live, funded, futures trading account in order to qualify for the (much lower priced) non-professional exchange fees. And it is necessary to connect your Sierra Chart software to this account at least once a month to verify it's existence for the CME Group. For more information, refer to the following:
