Issues since switching over to real time data

Hi,

I have just switched over to real time data after many months of simulation but i'm very confused.

The symbol I was trading 6E Euro is now no longer there and has been replaced with F.US.EU6 is this right? I want to trade the euro, pound, AUD and CAD.

My data feed only goes up to the June 14th. I have updated current symbols and I have the newest version of SC downloaded.

Finally, can you please confirm that for these instruments, F.US.EU6 (Euro) F.US.BP6 (British Pound) F.US.CA6 (CAD) F.US.DA6 (AUD) are available on Package 4 of the data feed costs for $10.40 or do I need the full data feed costs of package 1 for $31.20? Assuming that these symbols are correct for what I want to trade?

I originally had package 4 as thats what I believe I need, but have since switched to number 1 to see if that corrected the problem but it hasnt.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The issue with the symbols is just due to how different vendors handle symbols. We try to keep the actual symbol that is used by the exchange, but CQG uses a different format. Therefore, you must have had your Service setting set to SC Data - All Services while you were testing, and then when you changed your service to CQG, the symbols changed. What you are seeing for the symbols is correct for CQG.

The symbols you are wanting are all traded on the CME exchange, so you just needed the original exchange option you had selected CME with Market Depth for NonProfessionals. So you can deactivate the other exchange, as it is not needed. Just keep in mind that the cost of the exchanges is paid to the exchange, and they do not give refunds, so we can not issue a refund for your having selected the Full CME Group with Market Depth for NonProfessionals exchange.

As to why you are having issues with the data, we would need to see your Message Log by following these instructions:

Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Open a chart for the symbol you have an issue with. Tell us that symbol of the chart.

Disconnect from the data feed with "File >> Disconnect".

Connect to the data feed with "File >> Connect to Data Feed".

After the connection and after about 10 seconds, provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#MessageLog

We will then determine what the problem is.

Thank you for the reply.

I have done what you ask above and have copied the message log below.

The symbol is F.US.EU6M21

We are not seeing any issues with the data for F.US.EU6M21. Note that the M contract is no longer the active contract, so that is probably where the issue is. You should change to the U contract.

The only thing we see in the log are the following:
Symbol Error - F.US.TYAZ20 is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. Requested symbol was not found. | 2021-06-23 11:43:05.814

Symbol Error - F.US.TYAH21 is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. Requested symbol was not found. | 2021-06-23 11:43:05.815

But, if you deactivated the Full CME Group with Market Depth, then that may explain this, as the system is looking to CQG for this symbol instead of the Denali feed (this symbol is traded on the CBOT, not the CME).
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
