One of my systems has been using a demo datafeed from Zenfire, and earlier in the week I found out it's 30-day demo had expired.
When I called AMP Futures to get a new key, I found out that Zenfire's policy had changed and they would no longer give us a demo key except for one month every 90-days.
AMP suggested trying the CQG datafeed which they said I could sign up for on their web site and receive a key by email. I did all this and it worked fine...
...except I wasn't getting any live data. It only seemed to work for historical data.
So, the Tims & Sales wouldn’t display anything nor the SuperDOM (neither level-1 not level-2), and the charts would only update when NinjaTrader was first started or if I went into the DataSeries screen and selected a new time-range and clicked Apply.
I found some errors in the ControlCenter "Log" tab about problems mapping several symbols...
... so I went to the "Data" tab of the "Options" screen and clicked "Reset Instruments" and restarted NinjaTrader.
This made these errors go away and my charts now update as does time & sales & SuperDOM.
Problem solved, and that's what to do if anyone else runs into this.
