To begin with, there are Professional and Non-Professional exchange options. For the CME Group, you would be a Non-Professional if you are not working trading other people's money, and you have a live, funded, futures trading account. You also need to connect your Sierra Chart software to that live, funded, futures trading account at least once a month for verification. Refer to the following: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges Also, keep in mind that the CME Group is made up of 4 different exchanges - CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX. So be sure you are aware if you are activating the "Full CME Group" or just the "CME" exchange itself. The exchanges that are listed as the "CME" give you access to the full CME Group symbols. The "CME E-Mini" (which is a Professional exchange option) only gives you access to the most popular 19 symbols that are traded on the CME exchange. NQ and ES are part of this, along with the Micro versions of those (MNQ and MES). Gold (GC and MGC) are traded on the COMEX exchange and therefore are not included with any of the "CME" only exchanges. You would need to either include a COMEX option, or utilize one of the "Full CME Group..." exchanges, if you qualify as a non-professional. We are not sure what you are looking for in terms of SPX. That is an index and not a traded symbol. ES is the S&P 500 Index Futures, so we think this would be what you are wanting. But we do have data for the CBOE Indices, which has the SPX index data. This would be another separate exchange that you would have to activate and pay for in order to get this data.
