From Google Translate:
Hello,
I'm on sim.
I notice that the names of the markets are different in the SIM and the REAL. Is this normal?
Also, are the data different in the SIM and the REAL?
Thank you

The names of the symbols depends on what the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Current Selected Service is set to. If you are changing this between a Sim (Simulated Futures Trading Service) and Live (CQG/Rithmic/Teton Order Routing/Etc.) then the symbols will need to change.

But, if you are simply using the Simulation Mode and turning this off and on, then the symbols will stay the same, as you are not changing the Current Selected Service.

As to whether the data is different, it also depends on what your difference is between Sim and Live (as above). Again, if you are changing services, then it is possible that you are getting the real-time data from one source and the sim data from another.

You have us curious, are you connecting to a live trading account?

Along these lines, we see that you are on Package 11, but you have not activated any exchanges and you have not connected to a live, funded trading account for the CME Group Non-Professional exchange fees. Please let us know if you are wanting real-time data and what exchanges and we will direct you from there.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
