I've clicked on the "update from server" button on the symbol setting window. And I can't find the micro contracts in the "Find Symbol" window. I do not see "MES" or "ET" contracts. I'm using IB as futures broker.
I've managed to manually type the micro contract symbol, for example "MES-201906-GLOBEX", which allows me to see live data, however sierra chart does not seem to pull historical data from your server since there is no "[M]" symbol on the chart.
Please advise as to what the proper procedure is. Thank you.

The symbols have been added for Interactive Brokers. Follow through the instructions here:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

See if there is any error in the Window >> Message Log when updating the symbol settings.

I resolved the issue. I turned off the proxy connection settings and sierra chart was able to fetch the next symbols.
