I have spent hours trying to get my charts to load properly but it just stays stuck on downloading historical data and the message log just fills up. I have tried all the troubleshooting that the forum suggests but cant get any movement. Thank you

ok. thank you. What is my best option then? I have a live account with Ninjatrader. Would that work or do i need to fund an account with a different broker?

You would need to fund an account with another broker as Ninjatrader does not allow for connectivity with Sierra Chart. Refer to the following for a solution to this: Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement Then you can setup the data for the CME Group by following these instructions: Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX Exchanges* For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

following up. I took your advice and funded an account with Stage five. I have logged in with the new credentials. it loaded my chartbook but the charts are just static from when i opened the chartbook. The pricing is not moving at all. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Everything on your account looks good, so you should be getting the data for instruments traded on the CME exchange. Note that the image is not helpful as we do not know when the image was taken relative to the bars. If you are still having an issue with this, then please get us your Message Log by following these instructions: Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log Close all of the Chartbooks with "File >> Close All Chartbooks". Open a single chart for the symbol you have an issue with through "File >> Find Symbol". Tell us that symbol of the chart. Tell us about *one* symbol only. 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: Support Board Posting Information: How to Post Your Message Log (Required In Some Cases) We will then determine what the problem is.

Please restart Sierra Chart and use the "Forced Login" option to ensure that your local system updates to the information on our servers. It looks like there is an inconsistency here.

There is no way to check now. You need to wait for the market to open again.

that did not fix the problem. it is still stuck on price. to clarify, when i close out and reopen it does update to the price at that moment but then does not change the price in real time.

This is an unusual issue. We want you to select File >> Disconnect in Sierra Chart and wait two minutes. And then connect with File >> Connect to Data Feed. Let us know if that resolves the problem.

This is good. This was very concerning. This is not a normal situation to be happening when you only have Sierra Chart running on one computer and one instance on that computer. We do not know why you had a problem. Going forward we want you to run Sierra Chart with administrator level access: Error Messages When Opening Files: Run Sierra Chart with Windows Administrator Level Access And we want you to run the Network Time Protocol client in Sierra Chart: Network Time Protocol Client Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
