That's why I mentioned "special status". SierraChart (and most likely
InvestorRT) still has special status. Their customers pay $25/month
(+$20 for a Silver plan). They are not affected by new SDK rules.
When you go to MyTrack's chat-entitlements-features you can see
separate entries for Sierra and InvestorRT for $25 (and SDK for $99
is at the bottom of that page).
I like MyTrack with SierraChart for one more reason. You can switch
the Silver plan back to Basic plan (if you don't need RT feed for a
month or two) and you still get the following for the total of
$25/month:
- RT tick by tick: US indexes (INDU, OEX, SPX, COMPX etc.) and Forex
- delayed tick-by-tick: all US stocks, US futures, US stock/index
options, US options on futures, Canadian stocks, and most likely data
from European exchanges (LSE, Eurex, Euronext, Liffe, Stockholm,
Zurich, etc.)
- three week one minute backfill for all the above
2) I'v just checked with MyTrack's support at "channel-6" (time stamp
12:45 ET) about the requirement to open a brokerage account with
MyTrack. You do not need to have a brokerage account. If you do than
SDK is $25/month, if you don't than it's $99.

I assume that all intraday data is already stored on the hard drive,
so there is no backfill issue.

Strange. Their parent company (Track Data Corp) is primarily a big
data provider. MyTrade brokerage is just a small addition to their
core business.

I will need to run quote sheet scans on 1500 symbols so I'm not sure
how this is going to work with Esignal. For now I'm still learning
AB eod features.
Thanks for your quick response.
