Our recommendation is to use the Delayed Streaming Exchange Data Feed, which includes data from the CME Group and EUREX. Refer to the information here:
Delayed Exchange Data Feed

As noted in the link above, the delayed data acts the same as real-time data, but is delayed by 10-15 minutes. This allows you to use Sierra Chart with data that acts like real data, but without having to pay for the real data.

The reason why this is important is that the CME Group requires that you have a trading account that you can verify in order to get the real-time data at the non-professional rates. For more information on this, refer to the following:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

------

After you open an account, you can get data from your trading provider such as CQG or Rithmic. You will still need to pay the Exchange Fees when using these. But, if you want the real-time data at that time, then we recommend using our Denali Exchange Data Feed, as it is a superior data feed with low latency and tick-by-tick historical data going back to 2011 (for the CME Group).

For more information on the Denali Exchange Data Feed, refer to the information here:
