Hello,
I would like to demo Sierra Chart with CQG. I signed up through AMP Futures for the demo.

When I try to connect to the CQG web API, I get an error, that the username and password are wrong. I double and triple checked, that they are correct, with no spaces, and case sensitive.
Please see the screenshots.
I contacted CQG and they said "You are trying to log into a production environment instead of a demo environment. "
Notice in my screenshot, that I do not have any option in the CQG Web API window to select between Demo or Live.

Please advise.

Thank you for the info.
Maybe you should also update AMP futures with this info.
When I signed up to try a demo of Sierra Chart on the AMP futures website, I was also prompted to sign up for the CQG demo:

We have told them several times about this. But we cannot control what they have on their website.

When it comes to trialing or demoing Sierra Chart there is no need to be involving CQG or any external service.
