    That is incredible.

    1) Do you offer SPAN Margins on Futures spreads?

    2) Do you offer SPAN Margins on Futures Options spreads?

    We currently support outright futures only and will look to add futures spreads and options in the future based on customer interest. We will certainly let you know when these are available.

    One benefit to note when using Sierra Chart for both trading and charting is that all trade activity conducted on Sierra Chart is visible in Tradovate's platform as well, so you can monitor your account using a PC or Mac, log in with Chrome or another browser, or on-the-go with mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. This is included at no extra cost.

  4. Futures options would definitely be a big plus.

    Why is the $129 per month required just to use Sierra considering the user also has to pay Sierra directly for the lic and has to pay an additional $12 a month fee to you? Seems odd please explain.

    The $129 per month is for your commission-free plan and replaces the per-trade commissions that you pay at other brokers.

    The $12 per month fee was a cost that we incur, since Sierra Chart does not connect to Tradovate's trading system, and intended to pass along. However, we heard from traders who are interested in using Sierra Chart at Tradovate that they did not like this extra fee, so we took their feedback into consideration and decided to simply remove it.

    At Tradovate, we listen to traders and have made it part of our mission to remove extra costs from futures trading, so we are happy to make this decision quickly to deliver more value and better pricing.

  7. Wondering if full Sierra chart functionality is enabled...Specifically, can traders still use the Sierra DTC Server for interfacing their own systems to execute and receive trade data from Sierra?

    Yes, Sierra's DTC server is supported.
