FAQ
Optimus Futures + Sierra Chart: Technical & Execution
Why should I choose Teton Order Routing over other execution engines?
Teton is natively developed by the Sierra Chart engineering team specifically for their platform infrastructure. Unlike third-party APIs (such as Rithmic or CQG) that function as external intermediaries, Teton is an in-house routing service where the software and order execution layers utilize the same proprietary code logic. Because the platform and routing engine are developed together, the system eliminates the need for a "translation layer" often required by external APIs. Teton provides direct-to-exchange connectivity with documented latency typically under 500 microseconds and removes per-trade routing fees. At Optimus Futures, this allows traders to utilize an execution stack designed for technical stability, speed, and professional cost-efficiency.
How does Denali Exchange Data integrate with my CME fees?
Denali is the delivery technology, but CME fees are pass-through costs billed directly via your Sierra Chart Services Balance. Instead of being deducted from your trading account, you fund your Sierra Chart account to cover these exchange-mandated fees. These are billed on a strict calendar-month basis and are separate from software or commissions.
What is the difference between Denali and Teton?
Denali is the data feed that provides real-time and historical market information to your charts. Teton is the order routing system that executes your trades by sending them to the exchange matching engine. Because both are natively built by Sierra Chart, they work as a single unified pipeline, removing the need for third-party bridges and reducing technical latency.
Does Optimus Futures understand how to configure Teton and Denali?
Yes. The Optimus Futures team has extensive experience providing the Sierra Chart platform specifically configured with the Teton Order Routing infrastructure and Denali Exchange Data feed. Because Teton is natively developed by Sierra Chart, its configuration requires specialized knowledge of the software's internal logic—from clearing firm selection (like Ironbeam) to verifying your "Non-Professional" status with the CME Group. We assist you through a streamlined onboarding process to ensure your "execution stack" is optimized. This includes translating symbol formats from legacy feeds to Teton-compatible symbols and properly funding your Sierra Chart Services Balance to avoid data interruptions. When the platform, data, and routing are configured as a single unified system, you eliminate the technical bottlenecks often found in third-party integrations.
Why does Optimus Futures specifically recommend Sierra Chart's software?
At Optimus Futures, we appreciate Sierra Chart because it is built on high-performance native C++ code, rather than resource-heavy frameworks like Java or .NET. This professional engineering ensures the platform remains "light" on your CPU while providing unmatched stability during high-volatility market events. By integrating our Teton Order Routing and Denali Data directly into this native architecture, we eliminate third-party "bottlenecks." Optimus Futures holds Sierra Chart in high regard because its focus on speed, low resource utilization, and "rock-solid" reliability mirrors our own commitment to providing a professional-grade execution environment for active futures traders.
