[Locked] - Confused about the Denali Exchange Data Feed charges

Hi,

I believe the Service Package 11 or 12 is required for what I need to do but I am really really confused about something.

I only need real-time data for the Euro FX Futures (I think this is provided by CME titled as 6E) to use them for the numbers bars and volume profile features.

I don't need to trade within the Sierra Chart, because I will place the trades directly on my Forex Broker's platform for the correlated currency pair.

What confuses me is that the info page about the Denali Exchange Data Feed states that I get the CME, COMEX, EUREX etc with this feed (Denali), but then I can't understand if I am required to enable and get charged for the CME Group exchange too.

Again I only need the real-time data for the Euro FX futures. I will NOT place trades in Sierra. Do I still need to enable the other exchanges and get charged the monthly fees and enable/sign the exchange agreements if I am going to trade from a Forex platform?

I am really confused!

Thanks in advance

Sorry this is so confusing, part of the issue comes from the requirements of the exchanges themselves.

The answer is that you need to go through the setup instructions for the Denali Exchange Data Feed in which you will sign the Data Feed Agreements and activate the exchange for which you want the real-time data. There is a fee for the exchange which is the exchanges cost and goes to them.

But, the CME Group has additional requirements such that if you want the non-professional exchange fees (which are much cheaper than the Professional fees) then you need to have a live, funded, futures trading account. Sierra Chart then needs to be able to connect to this trading account at least once a month to do the verification and continue to allow the non-professional exchange pricing. For more information on the CME Group non-professional requirement, refer to the following:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

If you do not have a futures trading account, then we recommend the solution outlined at the following link:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
