Hi,, when i created my account,, i was asked for clearing information in a futures related account.. i assumed it was for a clearing house which i gave the company ironbeam and my account # as requested.. i am fumbling wondering why i can't get this acct. to go live so, from the reading it seems sierra wants a broker account which they have a limited selection,, but i notice one is interactive brokers... i do have an account with interactive broker and GFF broker and if that is what and is acceptable to make this account live.. i would greatly appreciate on being guided on where to put this information.. i was not notified in anyway that the ironbeam information was unacceptable so i'm completely in the dark about the solution but this is what i have come up with.. thank you for your time chris |

Hi Chris, when it comes to Real-time CME Group Futures Data like for ES, Cl and 6E, we have to ask: do you have a Futures Trading Account? The CME Group expects you to have a Futures Trading Account in order to qualify as a Non-Professional [*Note: we know of only the CME Group having this rule, not EUREX, not CFE, not NASDAQ, not NYSE, just the CME Group*] From the CME Group Certification: "The Non-Professional Subscriber must: a. have an active and funded futures trading account; b. be an individual, natural person or small business entity" The solution if you do not have a Futures Trading Account (but would otherwise qualify as a Non-Professional) is described here: Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement |

Hi,, yes as previously mentioned i have a futures brokerage account with GFF brokers which is funded through the clearing house IRONBEAM, which is the company i originally gave my account information to SIERRA when i created the account. my experience is money goes to the clearing house first, brokerage communication second, platform third... usually you need a license key from the brokerage to activate the software... i don't know how this outfit works with evaluations with proprietary desks but i do have the information you need if you tell me how to input that in your system... you obviously need a license key of some sort. i will contact my broker in the mean time and ask them if they deal with you or not

Hi Chris, you need to connect Sierra Chart to your GFF / Ironbeam Trading Account in order to verify your Non-Professional status, for that GFF / Ironbeam can put you on the Teton Order Routing Service without Sierra Chart's intervention; when GFF / Ironbeam has added you to the Teton Order Routing Service, your set-up instructions begin with step #5 here: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing: Setup Instructions |
