Subject: Market Depth Not Being Recorded / CME Invalid Symbol / Platform Freezing

Hello,

I would like to describe the exact sequence of events and ask for clarification.

1. I configured Market Depth recording according to your instructions:
- Global Settings → Symbol Settings
- Enabled Use Custom Symbol Settings Values
- Set Record Market Depth Data = Yes
- Set Number of Depth Levels to Save = 10

2. After doing this, I checked the folder:
Data → MarketDepthData
and noticed that no .depth file was being created.

3. We then discovered that the chart and the DOM were not using identical symbols (one was Continuous [CV], the other was a different format).
I corrected this so that both chart and DOM use the exact same symbol.

4. After correcting the symbol and performing File → Reconnect, Sierra began attempting to download Historical Intraday data and started showing:

"Historical Intraday Data Download Failed
Error downloading historical Intraday data for MESH26-CME.
Error: invalid symbol"

5. Since then:
- EUROSTOXX (EUREX) works normally.
- CME symbols (e.g., MESH26-CME) do not update.
- No Market Depth file is created.
- The DOM for CME does not move.
- The platform becomes unresponsive when loading CME charts.
- Help → About shows:
Denali Data Feed Supported: Yes
Delayed Data Feed: Yes
Denali Authorized Realtime Exchanges: CME (Trading Account Required)

6. Trade Account Monitor shows a connected trading account.

At this point, Sierra Chart is effectively frozen for CME symbols, while EUROSTOXX continues to function normally.

Questions:

1. Why was no Market Depth file created initially when everything appeared configured correctly?
2. Why does reconnecting now produce “invalid symbol” for a standard Denali CME symbol (MESH26-CME)?
3. Does “CME (Trading Account Required)” indicate that CME Realtime is not fully authorized?
4. What exact configuration is required in order to:
- Receive CME Realtime data,
- Download Historical Intraday data,
- Record Market Depth properly for Replay?

Please advise the correct configuration sequence to restore CME functionality.

Thank you.
