Hello there,

I had this message when opened up my chart

Error downloading historical Intraday data. I tried to followed the steps but nothing seems to work. Right now, the chart only show data from 8h30 this morning. Could you please help me out?

We are no longer as of December 28, 2020 providing the Sierra Chart provided historical data service for CQG or Interactive Brokers users. For more information, refer to this Support Board thread:
Jan 1, 2021 Changes to Historical Data: Interactive Brokers, CQG

Also refer to this post for steps that you need to do now:
Jan 1, 2021 Changes to Historical Data: Interactive Brokers, CQG | Post: 245144

The solution to this problem is to use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for CME and EUREX (Upcoming in January 2021) data. Step-by-step instructions are here:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX Exchanges*

The first calendar month of this data feed is free. Let us know if you need help with the set up and we will help you through all of the steps.

In the case of CQG you will then need to contact your broker and cancel CME and EUREX exchange fees through your CQG account so you do not pay exchange fees twice. You definitively do not have to pay any market data exchange fees through your brokerage account to CQG. This is not required.

For other exchanges (ICE, HKFE) you need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

As an alternative to CQG, we recommend using the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

In regards to using CQG provided historical data, we definitely do not recommend using that. It has an additional cost of 25 USD per month. The data delivery is slow and inefficient and causes Sierra Chart to freeze during the processing of it. Only 5 days of tick data is supported from CQG. And only current futures contracts are provided.

Whereas with Sierra Chart provided data feeds, you will have access to 10+ years of reliable high-speed delivered tick by tick data. Once again we do not advise using CQG historical data and it will not work well with Sierra Chart. And we also provide no technical help or support for any CQG provided historical data or real-time data.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Hello there,

Ok! I'm not trading a live account at the moment. I just want to day trade on a delay chart. Which service do I need to use in order to look at sim chart? If it's Denali Exchange Data Feed, I don't it on my service list?

Regards,
A

In order to receive Historical data from Sierra Chart, you need to have your Data/Trade Service Settings >> Service set to SC Data - All Services. Also make sure the option for Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds is Enabled.

You will then be able to receive the Historical data as well as the Streaming Delayed CME Data without having to pay any additional fees. Refer to the information here:
Sierra Chart Historical Data Service

and here:
Delayed Exchange Data Feed
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
