I don't think my account is properly setup. I'm able to login, but my AMP account balance doesn't show.

If you are using CQG for your order routing, then make sure that you have gone through the Setup Instructions to connect your Sierra Chart to CQG:

when I go to Data/Trade Services Settings, the only service that comes up is "SC Data - All Services"

no way to select CQG WebAPI.

What now?

Yes, you need to contact AMP about that message. Refer to the information here:

Here is the full error message:

This is definitely a CQG error that your broker has to help you with.

I walked through logging onto my CQG account with AMP tech support and had no problem.

The service connection problem has to be on the Stock Chart side.

If we can't get this resolved soon, I will have to transfer to a different platform.

thanks

Select Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings. Clear what you have in the "Private Label Override" box. You must have entered something there. Most likely this:

No - SierraChart.

I cleared the field to blank.

And now I'm able to connect, get data and see my AMP account balance.

Thanks for your help.

I think it's resolved now.

I'm now having login problems. When I start Stock Chart, the program connects with the saved login creds.

When I try to login to a support page using the same creds, it says creds are invalid.

When I try to "retrieve password" no email is ever sent.

How do I fix this one?

Is the Account Name that posted with the same Account Name that you use to login to the Sierra Chart software?

How did you post this last message to the Support Board if you can not get logged in?

I went to the Support Board while Stock Chart was running.

If I try to login with the same creds on a fresh SC page, I can't.

Also I'm trying to install the program on a second computer and can't get past login.

And then when trying to Retrieve, no email is sent.

Usually when there is a problem logging into the website directly it is caused by the browser auto-filling the Account Name or password. Make sure that what you type is stays in the fields until you select the Login button.

But, in order to get the password change working, from within Sierra Chart select "Help >> Account Control Panel". This will open a browser and log you in with the same credentials that you used when you started Sierra Chart and will take you to the Account Control Panel page.

Once there, scroll down to the "Account Details" section and look for a link that states "Manage Account Information". Select that link to take you to the Account Information page. Verify that your email is correct on that page. If it is, then the email that is being sent must be getting caught by an email filter somewhere.

If it is not correct, then correct it and select the "Update Account Information" button at the bottom of that section. Then go and reset your password on this page:
https://www.sierrachart.com/PasswordReset.php

Let us know if you continue to have issues. There are some additional things we can do.

there was a typo on the email address

but when I try to correct it, using the Update Account Info, it doesn't work.

I hit that button, then exit out of program. Restart and go to Manage Account, finding the address uncorrected.

my main problem is getting an invalid un or pw error when trying to login to a new installation on another computer.

I will try to uninstall that program and start over with a fresh download.

This creds I enter for the new installation are identical to the ones on existing installation that work fine.
