Hi Support, I am trying to trade ES options via the Rithmic Trading service while using Denali as my Data Feed. I need assistance with the following mapping issue. I followed the instructions provided at these links: Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings Denali Exchange Data Feed: Denali Futures Options Data with Other Trading Services Following the logic at the page below, I managed to successfully submit an order for a single option by manually mapping it: Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu) Chart Symbol (Denali): E3DF26 C7060.FUT_OPT.CME Trade and Current Quote Symbol (Rithmic): E3DF6 C7060.CME This works perfectly. Given the volume of strikes and expirations, I need to set up a Global Symbol Setting pattern to automate this translation. I referenced this page: Global Symbol Settings: Symbol Pattern Characters Input Symbol Pattern: ~?## ~.FUT_OPT.CME (with "Use Pattern Matching" set to Yes). Trade/Quote Symbol Pattern: ~?# ~.CME After applying these settings and opening a Trade DOM, the "Trade/Quote Symbol" field incorrectly resolves to ~Z9 ~.CME. It seems the wildcard mapping is failing to correctly translate the symbol. Am I missing a specific syntax to handle this mapping? I noticed that when I navigate to the generic Rithmic symbol tree: CME Futures (Non-Denali) > ES?#.CME > ESH6.CME The "Get Options" button is grayed out/inactive. I have entered my Rithmic credentials in File > Data/Trade Service Settings > Main Settings (Market Data Username/Password). Is the fact that "Get Options" is inactive a limitation on the Sierra Chart side or a Rithmic restriction? Does the Translation Pattern require the destination symbols to be already downloaded and present in the "Find Symbol" database to work correctly? Since I cannot use "Get Options" to populate the symbol list for Rithmic, implies that Sierra Chart does not "know" these option symbols exist. Could this be the reason why the mapping fails or returns an error? For comparison, when using CQG: CME Futures (Non-Denali) > F.US.EP?## > F.US.EPH26 The "Get Options" button is active and working. Could you please advise on how to resolve the pattern mapping and whether the inactive "Get Options" for Rithmic is related to my issue? Thank you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-15 16:51:23
