    I would like to use your service on sierrachart, but I do not understand your quotation here, so please let me know, if I purchase CME data and need to use market depth data, mainly trading ES or sterling and euros, what is the monthly fee? What is the cost of buying and selling each ES? What is the minimum fee? Could you please give me a reply? Thank you.

      Hi Jane,

      On the Sierra Chart futures platform, you actually pay for and enable market data through Sierra Chart. You would need to check with them on current pricing.
