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".

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)?

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.
