ds12 is in my protocol. 89 ms. In Europe I do not see any forex server from Sierrachart. FXCM data I use at the moment. Morningstar data I would like to try. Cost $21. Can anyone help further what the requirements are, or do you need an account ? Where are the Morningstar servers, or is that then also possible via the ds12 network ? What are your experiences ! (Ticinotrader ?) thank you

I use FXCM's data for most of my trading and am completely satisfied with it. Previously I had real-time Morningstar and its coverage was fantastic, but it does not provide bid/ask data, so I do not subscribe to it anymore. Although I still use their snapshot data for long-term positions on smaller or exotic pairs. I also have the LMAX data feed that can serve as a backup and also has data for a couple of symbols that are not in the FXCM offering (EURHKD, etc) but I need bid/ask data for. IB's FX data works very well as well, although it is limited in comparison to FXCM. I use that mostly in the TWS platform. I can not comment on servers (ping, etc), never touched/cared about those settings, because I always use trading servers that have quite fast overall connection (and worked well for me both for FX and Futures trading. There is a full-length recorded webinar on Level 2 of my site where I talk about these options and their configs in full detail: https://www.ticinotrader.ch/configuring-and-using-fx-datafeeds-in-sierrachart/ Another Level2 video that could be of help for FX trader SC users: https://www.ticinotrader.ch/how-to-optimize-sierrachart-for-forex-trading/ Hope this helps. Regards, tt

Ticinotrader, It is very helpful just that MS data does not include bidask. Thank you for your valuable time and the video links. Greetings cc

Level 2 means: Level 2 Section of my site (https://www.ticinotrader.ch/tag/level2/). 'Level 2' is the tier, where articles and instructional videos (25+ hours) are available. The links direct to the relevant video pages. You have to log in to the site, to watch the videos.
