Datafeed: CQG | SierraChart version: 1568
IMPORTANT UPDATE TO #4: You should be connected to your real-time datafeed all the time to record market depth data. This is preferably your broker’s datafeed – for example, CQG. Historical/delayed or non-tick-based data feeds do not allow you to record market depth data. Without market depth data stored on your computer, you can not replay DOM (or any tools that require market depth) properly.
Newest versions of SierraChart allows to download historical market depth data through the Denali datafeed. Click here for instructions (Level 2 video)
