I downloaded the FOREX and FUTURES data and connected to a live feed but I still get a message to download the data anytime I try and load a FOREX chart
How do I get the chart to come up?
Which downloader exactly did you run? Please note that QuantShare does not provide data, downloaders are shared by other members.

For Forex Intraday data please use the following one for example: Forex Intraday Data
You need to run it in "Download -> Download Manager".
Regarding the "Live Forex" feed, after connecting it, click on "Not Live" at the bottom of the chart then select "Live Forex".
You can also backfill Forex data from that feed (instead of the downloader, which get data from a website) by clicking on the "Green circle" on the bottom/right corner of the chart then selecting "Backfill".
