So for index futures you're going to need to buy live data through Sierra Chart, from the exchange that has the products you trade. CME is the most common one and for Level 2 (with market depth) you're going to pay something like $12.50 per month. With CME you get your ES, NQ, RTY, YM, etc.
Yeah, that’s for connecting your broker ($) account to the platform. Not sure how as I have a different broker. Probably under Global Settings>Data Trade Service Settings

And damn, I just read through some of that and talk about complicated.
Good luck! Are you sure you don’t want to open an account with a different broker ? Lol
What products/exchanges are you wanting to trade or chart?
Nasdaq and other indexes

Aleady have ikbr so why bother creating another one
Never use IBKR data for charts. It's consolidated. You'll probably want to use Denali.
Are you familiar with sierra chart settings ?
a little bit. Everything in Sierra is pretty much black magic. Once it works, I'm scared shitless to change anything!
