I have tried to figure out how to pull up a FOREX chart with no success. I am looking to pull up USD/JPY. Any help with this would be appreciated. I know it is probably very simple, but I can not figure it out.

The problem is that I am trying to use my TD Ameritrade connection. If I try to use the FXCM connection, I get kicked off of real time information.

Update Sierra Chart to the latest prerelease with Help >> Download Prerelease. Here are instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/download.php#FastUpdate

The latest release supports this:
Added support to access SC Forex Data when using any of the other supported Data and Trading services. The symbols are listed in File >> Find Symbol under the categories CFD and Forex. This symbol listings may not be up-to-date until the end of the day on 2015-08-18.

The above is from the What is New page.

We did update the symbol settings for TD Ameritrade at this time to include the Forex symbols.

Update the Symbol Settings. You will get them now. We had thought they were released but they were not.
