{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:yellow;">**Note:**</mark>*\
TradingView does not provide real-time market data on the Basic (free) plan.\
\
While the CQG demo credentials provided by AMP / NEXGEN are enabled for real-time data, TradingView requires an [**Essentials plan**](https://www.tradingview.com/pricing/?share_your_love=NexgenFibonacci) or higher to display live data.\
\
Use the CQG platform if you do not wish to subscribe to TradingView; the CQG version is free for all users.  [**Click Here For CQG**](https://m.cqg.com/cqg/desktop/logon?ref=forced)\
\
This is a limitation of the TradingView platform, not a restriction from AMP or NEXGEN.\
