Using 1631
DTS: CQG FIX

Is there any way i could get Options data from SC Data when connected to the CQG trading service?
I am looking for the [M] I know from futures, which I do not see for Options.

Just in case this doesn't work, is there any trading service that works well with your real time options data feed?
Is there any way I could use the DOM for an option on CL futures (say C.US.CLEZ175400) with your SC Data real time feed and trade from it (DOM) through CQG?

You can get the futures options data but you cannot trade using those same symbols.

Just follow through the instructions here:

Can I have two different chart windows in the same Chartbook, for two different Option Symbols as follows:
- one SC Data Symbol for real time data through your service (say "LOZ17 C5400.FUT_OPT.NYMEX")
- the other with the equivalent CQG Symbol for trading that Option (say "C.US.CLEZ175400")

Yes of course this is no problem at all.

I have just tried opening an intraday Window for "LOZ17 C5400.FUT_OPT.NYMEX" while connected to CQG, it doesn't work: "Symbol is unknown", "Download failed".

It is correct, in post #3 I did not ask whether it works when connected to CQG, but a connection to CQG is required for trading the options, so here's my try at asking what I meant: is there any way to get your real time and/or historical data for Options (on futures) while connected to CQG (or any other DTS than SC Data)? This is possible for futures and I'm very happy with it ([M]).
I'm not necessarily looking for "[M]" (although that would be lovely), a two chart windows solutions would do it as well.

Yes. And we just realized that we did not add the necessary Symbol Settings for this. This is done now.

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

After that, follow the instructions in this post here:

We are also in the process of moving options to a different server. Update Sierra Chart to the current version following the instructions here:
Software Download: Fast Update

This is essential.
