I have no idea how to utilize it or locate the functionality for it on Sierra Chart platform. Is it like a Level 2 setup but with more detail? Is it reflected in the Time & Sales window? Please help because as of right now, I can't tell how adding this datafeed has changed my setup. TIA

The NASDAQ TotalView exchange is just an exchange. It has the data for U.S. Equities that are traded on the NASDAQ exchange. But it only has the price and volume data for the trades that are done on the NASDAQ exchange itself. This is in contrast to the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape exchange that we also have, which has the consolidated price and volume data for all the U.S. exchanges on which an instrument trades. Refer to the following for more information on these two exchange options: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Nasdaq TotalView Data Feed Notes Denali Exchange Data Feed: US Equities Consolidated Tape Data Feed Notes We see that you have both the NASDAQ TotalView and U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape exchanges active, so we wonder if you are wanting to use these two in combination and get the price and volume data from the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape along with the Market Depth data from the NASDAQ TotalView. In this case, you need to enter your symbols with the suffix of _MBO (such as IBM_MBO). The difference you will see is in the DOM with the Market Depth. If you use a standard symbol (such as IBM) you will only have the Best Bid/Ask information (1 level), but now you will see the multiple levels of Market Depth data for an instrument. If you are looking for something else, then we need more information on what you are wanting.

I think I get it..I'll play around with entering my symbols with _MBO and see what I can make of it. Appreciate again your efforts on my behalf and that you actually explain things :-) Have a nice weekend.. Jonathan

Hi John, is there a way to not use military time on your platform. I spend most of my day doing math and find it unnecessary to convert 16:30 to the time display I'm most comfortable with, that being 4:30pm. I did set the time zone to EST but I don't see a way to deselect Military Time. Thanks again, Jonathan

Additionally, how do I change the default Alert tone as I'd like to use different Alert tones for different purposes. Presently it appears to be a default ping sound..one which I'm not too satisfied with. How do I provide alternative Alert tones into the system? thanks, Jonathan

Hi John, is there a way to not use military time on your platform Sorry, there is not a way to change this. Sierra Chart is used worldwide and the U.S. is one of the few countries that uses a 12 hour time nomenclature. Additionally, how do I change the default Alert tone as I'd like to use different Alert tones for different purposes. Each alert number can be configured with a specific alert sound. Refer to the following: General Settings Window: Configuring Alert Number Instructions You can add any sounds you like to our default list of sounds. The file just needs to be a .wav file (you will probably want to limit the length of the sounds to a second or two). You put the files in the folder named "AlertSounds" under your main Sierra Chart installation folder.

Hi, so I won't be needing NASDAQ TotalView data going forward. Can you please remove it from my setup? Looking forward to your reply, Jonathan "The NASDAQ TotalView exchange is just an exchange.

We can only cancel it from renewing May 1. We cannot do any refund or cancel it for April. It is active for April. We canceled NASDAQ TotalView so it does not renew in May. But it is active in April.

Can I just clarify, if I wanted to generate price/volume, DOM, TPO/mkt profile, liquidity heatmap etc charts for Nasdaq symbols, do I need to sub to both NASDAQ TotalView and US Equities Consolidated Tape exchanges? or will one or the other be sufficient? What about NYSE Arca? thanks

Here are the things to keep in mind with regards to the two U.S. Equities options: - NASDAQ TotalView: Price and Volume data only from trades done on the NASDAQ exchange. Includes NASDAQ Market Depth information. - U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape: Price and Volume data from all U.S. exchanges where an instrument trades. Does not include Market Depth information. So if you need Market Depth information (heatmap), then you need to have the NASDAQ TotalView exchange. And if you need the data for the NYSE Arca, then you need the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape. Another option is to use both. When you have both exchanges activated then you can open a symbol with an _MBO suffix, which will give you the Price and Volume data from the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape with the Market Depth from the NASDAQ TotalView.

Thanks for clarifying Lastly, when I scroll down on this link, it indicates the NASDAQ TotalView sub is $16 for non-pros Denali Exchange Data Feed: Pricing but when I tried to activate, the rate is $32. Can you pls reconfirm the rate?

The cost is $16.00. But, you have the option for 2 systems set for the Denali Exchange Data Feed in general. Therefore, your cost is 2 x $16 = $32.00. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
