If I am only paper trading and using Rithmic Trader Pro for charting, do I need to have a broker connected to Sierra Chart, or can I use Sierra Chart with Rithmic alone?
You can use Sierra Chart with Rithmic for both trading and data. So you would not need a specific brokerage account in this case, as you are getting the data from Rithmic. Just be aware that Rithmic has a lack of historical data, so if you need historical data, then we recommend using our Denali Exchange Data Feed instead, where you would need a brokerage account in order to get the CME Group data at the Non-Professional rates. If I purchase a Sierra Chart package (for example, Level 10 or above), will I receive live market data from Rithmic without having an active brokerage account connected, or would the data be delayed in that case?
