I want to have 3 simple period moving averages, 5pma, 20pma and 50pma.
For some reason, when I try to do this, my simple period moving averages are no the same as other people with those same pma.
So I must have done something wrong.
Can you give me instructions on how to properly do those pma's?

Here are the instructions to add a study to the chart:
Chart Studies: Adding/Modifying Chart Studies

You need to use the Moving Average-Simple study. Add it three times to the chart and set the Length input of each of them to 5, 20 and 50 respectively.

If there still is a difference you need to look at the underlying chart bars to see if there is a difference with those.

My underlying chart bars/prices are different.
I have looked under "Find Symbols" for a symbol for the S&P500 that matches the S&P500 prices on yahoo finance and google finance and I can't find one.
What is the symbol for the S&P500?

This would be the symbol $INX

For some reason $INX only goes up to 2016-10-24. I tried to change this under chart setting but it is grayed out?

If you require Intraday data for that symbol you will need to use the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service. Follow through the instructions here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartHistoricalData.php#SetupInstructions

You will need to install another copy of Sierra Chart set to use the SC Historical Data service so you do not affect the current service you are using. The instructions do explain how to install another copy.

Actually, this is not what I was told when I signed up.

I specifically asked what services to sign up for to get the S&PIndex daily, S&PIndex 60min, S&PIndex 10min, S&PEminiFutures 1min, and S&PEminiFutures tick charts. I like to be able to see all 5 charts at the same time. I will only actually trade the S&PEminiFutures.

I was told this:
"We see you are using CQG. You do not need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed.Market data is coming from CQG in your case.

You only need to pay for the Sierra Chart Standard Package:

Did you need real-time data for the S&P cash indices?

If so there is an additional cost but not much. Only 15 USD/month plus the exchange fee of 3.25 USD per month.

When we gave that response, we must not have been aware that you needed cash index data.

I'm told that the S&P500Index is different from the S&P500CASHIndex.

I only need real time data for Intraday 10min, 60min and daily charts for the S&P500Index, and real time data for the S&P500EminiFutures Intraday 1min and tick charts.

We think it is best that you use the real-time cash index data from the exchange for the S&P 500.

If you would like to proceed with that, you will need to activate the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed on your account following the instructions here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#SetupInstructions

When selecting the number of symbols, you will need to choose the option for cash indices only which is 15 USD per month.

And you will need to activate the S&P Indices exchange.
