Post From: Can Sierra Chart combine Denali (historical + market depth) with Rithmic (order routing) i

I am trading a prop firm account through Rithmic (Rithmic Direct – DTC). I can connect and trade fine, and I now have real-time data and market depth enabled on the Rithmic side. However, my prop/Rithmic setup does not provide historical downloads (intraday history), and in my Message Log I previously saw messages like “Historical data downloads are not enabled”. This prevents me from building charts with sufficient back history for Market Profile / Volume Profile, higher timeframes (H4), and strategy zone work. I would like to know if there is an official way in one Sierra Chart instance to do the following: Use Denali / Sierra Chart Historical Data Service for historical intraday + historical daily downloads + market depth while simultaneously Using Rithmic Direct – DTC for order routing/trading (sending orders to the prop account). In other words: Denali as the data source (history + depth) + Rithmic as the trading service, without needing to switch services or run two separate instances. Questions: Is it possible to “couple” Denali (history/depth) with Rithmic (trading) in the same instance? If yes, what is the recommended configuration (Common Settings / Service Settings) to force historical downloads from Denali while keeping Rithmic for trading? If no, is the recommended approach to run two Sub-Instances (one Denali/SC Data for analysis and one Rithmic for execution), or is there another preferred workflow? Thanks in advance for any guidance. christophe |
