Post From: Rithmic Direct-DTC — Repeated Error 10061 on One DNS Endpoint and Intermittent Market Data

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I am experiencing intermittent real-time market data delays (10 seconds to several minutes) and repeated connection failures when using Sierra Chart with Lucid Trading Rithmic Direct-DTC.

Connection settings:
- Sierra Chart version: 2920
- Service: Rithmic Direct - DTC [trading]
- Server: LucidTrading-Chicago Area-Non-Aggregated
- Host: rsc.rithmic.com
- Port: 50569
- Symbol: NQZ6.CME

Issue observed:

Sierra Chart repeatedly attempts to connect to `208.97.247.100:50569` and fails with Windows error 10061 (Connection Refused).

Network tests:

DNS resolution returns three IP addresses:

| IP Address | TCP Port 50569 |
|---|---|
| 208.97.247.100 | Failed |
| 38.65.210.70 | Successful |
| 184.105.22.231 | Not yet tested |

I repeated the TCP tests using both my home Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot, with identical results.

Additional verification:
- R|Trader Pro connects and receives market data normally.
- R|Trader Pro was not running while using Sierra Chart.
- All Rithmic agreements have been signed.
- Sierra Chart connection settings match Lucid Trading's official instructions.
- Re-entering the connection credentials and reconnecting did not resolve the problem.
- Lucid Trading confirmed no data-feed issue on their side and advised contacting Sierra Chart regarding DTC connectivity.

Questions:

1. Why does Sierra Chart repeatedly attempt the connection to 208.97.247.100 when another IP returned by the same hostname accepts TCP connections?
2. Does Sierra Chart's Rithmic Direct-DTC connection automatically retry alternative DNS IP addresses when the first connection fails?
3. Is there a supported configuration change, software update, or diagnostic procedure that could resolve this issue?

I would appreciate your assistance in determining whether this is related to Sierra Chart's Rithmic DTC connection handling or a problem that requires further investigation by Rithmic.

Thank you.
