{% 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.\
\
This is a limitation of the TradingView platform, not a restriction from AMP or NEXGEN.\
\
To see the full list of tradable symbols allowed during your evaluation: [**Click Here**](https://nexgen-software-services.gitbook.io/nexgen-pro-trader-funding/evaluations/markets-and-commissions)
{% endhint %}

Click the "Trading Panel" menu bar on the top right toolbar. To trade your prop accounts, locate the **"Trading Panel"** menu bar and click it to open the available brokers you can connect to.

You will want to select **"AMP"** and the blue **"Connect"** button. Select the **"LIVE"** server to connect your LIVE AMP account using your CQG credentials.  You can select paper trading to practice and simulate if you pay for live CME data ( 7$ /mo ) or connect straight to AMP for live evaluation trading.
