Ninjatrader/Tradovate, although using CQG for their order routing, do not allow for connectivity with Sierra Chart. Therefore, you can not use an account with them in order to verify your non-professional status for the CME Group. Prop Firms also can not be used to verify your non-professional standing, as you are not trading your own money with those firms. Refer to the following:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

You have not actually paid for an exchange fee yet, so if you do not have a solution for the Non-Professional requirement from the CME Group, then be sure you deactivate the exchange before May 1, 2026. Otherwise, you will be charged the exchange fee on that date (assuming you have enough funds in your account) in order to get the data for the month of May.

If you find that Sierra Chart will not work for you due to this, then please post in the Account Support Tickets for a refund. You can view our Refund Policy at the following link:
