Post From: Correct Data for SPY and QQQ ETF's

Hello, I am coming from using Tradingview for the past 3 years and Sierra is vastly more in depth so forgive my ignorance. But, after using it for a week I am struggling with a few things. First, in Tradingview, I pay for NASDAQ stocks data feed for QQQ and NYSE ARCA for SPY and it has always worked fairly well. For both of these I get real-time data which seems pretty close to what I am seeing in Sierra in terms of the Intraday timeframes. Not so much with the daily. The first question I have is with the symbols. If I type in SPY and QQQ in the symbol search, for a daily chart I only get historical data...nothing updates during the day. If i choose SPY-NQTV and QQQ-NQTV these symbols do in fact update, but then I do not get OHLC values for each candle at the end of the daily close at 4:00pm. The candles keep updating after which makes analysis on the regular trading day difficult. So if i want to do regular trading hours analysis on SPY for daily chart candles, I cannot seem to make that work in Sierra without having a historical chart (SPY symbol) right next to a real-time daily chart (SPY-NQTV symbol) and the information I am getting from looking at both is very confusing. I am also seeing REALLY different candles for OHLC values on the historical chart than I am in Tradingview and I am not sure which data to trust without going and doing some long winded 3rd party comparison. Which I haven't done yet. So am I using the right symbols for wanting real-time data for these two ETF's? Also, why am I unable to choose "use evening hours" in the menu when looking at the candles for any of the daily chart symbols I have used thus far? I am just really confused on this. I like to draw levels on OHLC values for normal market hours but can't seem to get this to work without having to have 2 daily charts for each symbol. I realize I probably didn't explain that well but its the best I could do. Hope you can help me out. Thanks
