Dear Support

I like to display the SPX and want to ask you how to do that. I only want to display and chart the price, I dont want to actually trade it. Can I just receive the data and not activate the S&P Indices exchange? Also in the case I do need to activate the exchange, could you please let me know what steps to take in order to display the SPX? and what costs this incurs.

Kindly

The SPX cash index is a CBOE product. As such, you can not get any data for it unless you pay for it. To get this real-time data, you would need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and activate the CBOE Indices exchange. The cost for this would be $30.25 per month ($25.00 for the Connection Fee and $5.25 for the exchange itself) Follow the instructions at the following link:

There is a similar data for a CFD that has the symbol SPX500, which is available at no cost, as the real-time CFD data from FXCM is free with any Sierra Chart package. Refer to the following regarding this data:

SPY is an ETF traded on the NYSE.

As such, it is available as Delayed Streaming Data (15 minutes delayed) through our NASDAQ TotalView exchange. Just open a symbol for SPY-NQTV to get the delayed data.

You would need either the U.S. Equities exchange that is part of the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed, or you would need the NASDAQ TotalView Exchange that is part of the Denali Exchange Data Feed.

The reason there are two options is that there are tradeoffs to each, which we are working on, but for now, here are the differences:
- U.S. Equities on Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Has full volume information (Consolidated Tape) from all exchanges. It does not have Market Depth data. To setup this data, refer to the instructions here:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Setup Instructions

- NASDAQ TotalView on Denali Exchange Data Feed: Only has volume from primary exchange (does not have consolidated tape). It does have Market Depth data. To setup this data, refer to the instructions here:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: All Other Exchanges*

Also refer to the information for the NASDAQ TotalView here:
