Post From: Issue mapping Denali Options symbols to Rithmic

Hi John,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I tried following the steps provided: I selected the option from the "Futures Options - CME (Denali Data)" section and attempted to place an order via Rithmic. Unfortunately, the order was rejected with the following error: "Rithmic Direct - DTC (Order reject). Info: Instrument reference data database rejected request."

It appears this happens because Rithmic requires a 1-digit year format (e.g., '6'), whereas the Denali symbol uses a 2-digit year (e.g., '26').
This explains why my manual mapping of the "Trade/Quote Symbol" field (changing the symbol to 1 digit and removing the "FUT_OPT." text) works, while using the Denali symbol directly does not.

To solve this, I need to make the automatic Translation Pattern work, but I am still stuck on the two points mentioned in my previous message:

1. Syntax for Year Conversion When mapping a 2-digit year input (~?##) to a 1-digit year output (~?#), the result is currently incorrect (e.g., ~Z9). Could you please clarify if there is a specific wildcard syntax to correctly handle this reduction from 2 digits to 1 digit?

2. Symbol Database ("Get Options") Since the "Get Options" button is inactive for the Rithmic tree, I cannot download the Rithmic-specific option symbols into my local database. Could this be the reason why the mapping fails? I am wondering if Sierra Chart requires the destination symbol to be present in the database to successfully translate it.

Any guidance on the correct pattern syntax or how to enable symbol discovery for Rithmic would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
