The instructions for this are documented here:
CQG Trading Platform Service

Your CQG account needs to support a CQG FIX connection and be authorized for Sierra Chart.

So, if I understand this correctly; I must use my NinjaTrader CQG account (at cost of $30) or pay at least $94.50 to get realtime quotes. otherwise use historical data only data.

please confirm

Yes, you must use your CQG account. The FIX connection is only about 10 or 15 USD per month.

Otherwise, you do have to pay 94.50USD per month for real-time data. Or just use the historical data only.

I have just been informed that the CQG fix is turned on at NinjaTrader Brokerage/Dorman Clearing.
Please let me Know when I can Expect Realtime updates. I assume it will require a restart of SC.

Select Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings and make sure Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds is checked.

Follow through the CQG set up instructions here:
CQG Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions

Do not enter the Username and Password at step 7.

You will be working with the standard CQG symbols in File >> Find Symbol and you can perform trading also from Sierra Chart.
