Denali doesn't provide real time data and chart for ES options?

ES June '21 4260 Put expiring tomorrow (I think CQG symbol is P.US.EWN2142600)
This worked great when I had both Denali CME data AND CQG CME data till yesterday. Now I only have Denali (which I thought is sufficient) and suddenly no bueno. The line in bold makes sense as I don't have data sub through CQG, but I thought I would be getting them through Denali and it won't be necessary. Please help.

There is a solution to this, we just need to do some testing first.

This worked when you posted this. I am seeing it not working again. No DOM, no charts for ES options. I keep getting the CQG error of symbol not found.

What is the symbol of the chart or Trading DOM? It should be in this format:
ESU21 P3500.FUT_OPT.CME

My order is routed to CQG, and CQG format is what worked last time. Something like C.US.EP11Q2144000 (Aug 2 expiry 4400 call)
What would the equivalent in the format you presented? ESU21 P3500.FUT_OPT.CME doesn't have expiry info. Plus, this is not the format "Get Options" button in SC pulls

doesn't have expiry info.
Of course it does. That is the native exchange symbol.

Precisely follow the instructions here:

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/CQGTrading.php#CQGOptionSupportPolicy

You need to look up the options through this list item in Find Symbol:
Futures Options - CME (Denali Data)

Couple of things:
1) I was earlier able to pull the chains from "Futures - CME". Now it is "Futures Options - CME (Denali Data)" Sorry I didn't get the memo
2) I could have figured it out from a symbol say "E1AQ21 C4375.FUT_OPT.CME" which does have expiration info, not from the symbol you have posted earlier "ESU21 P3500.FUT_OPT.CME"

and most importantly,
3) now while I get data for "E1AQ21 C4375.FUT_OPT.CME", trying to place an order gives me
Trade Order Error - No symbol contract ID mapping. Unable to submit the order. Internal Order ID: 270. Service Order ID: (none). Symbol: E1AQ21 C4375.FUT_OPT.CME. Account: <REDACTED> | 2021-07-29 21:00:39.769 *

Thank you. Please help.

Edit: My apologies. I missed the "Set the Trade and Current Quote Symbol to the CQG options symbol" part. However, let me get this straight.

1) There is no option chain to pick the contract I need, when I need it
2) I have to use the "Get Options" chain to find it
3) And then, I have to manually figure out the CQG symbol and set up the DOM. And I have to do this for every single option I want to look at and perhaps trade as prices move throughout the day (and night).

Thanks, but I will pass. I think I am just going to pay the extra cost and and trade FOP at IB TWS where everything is presented to me in a sane manner. And if I need to save on commissions based on what AMP provides, I see AMP has at least two other completely free platforms (with actual option chains). I am going to start paying for data to AMP as well, in addition to SC/Denali and try things out for one month. But I am done struggling with SC for trading anything beyond just futures.

1. There is a full listing of the active options, which is similar to an option chain, when you get the options:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Futures Options

And you do not have to use different symbols when using the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

But we are not sure if options are supported with the brokers who are supporting that service. Maybe not.

3. You do not have to manually figure this out.. You just need to get the CQG options through the CQG symbol listing in Find Symbol. However, that is an inefficient process due to how the CQG system works.

And the real core problem here, is CQG option symbology. They do not use the standard symbology from the exchange.

Also it is a very very tiny percentage of our users who trade options.
