I am connected to IB account
I have set: Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Service: Interactive Brokers
I have enabled the Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds option
I have activated the Real-Time Data Connection
I have activated the Full CME Group (CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) for nonprofessional Trading accounts
But I am not receiving live data for ES, YM, NQ
What am I missing?

You need to use the Interactive Brokers symbols in File >> Find Symbol when connected to Interactive Brokers.

Here is the relevant documentation for this:

I believe that, when I use the Interactive Brokers symbols, the charts use data from IB.
But I want to use data from the Sierra Chart Real-Time and Historical Exchange Data Feed for my charts because I need tick data and then trade at Interactive Brokers.
How do I set that and how do I know that the data used for my charts are from SC?

When using the Interactive Brokers symbols the data will come from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. This is explained here:
