I noticed there was a new option in the data trade services dialog for "Rithmic Direct DTC" but that this is not enabled for my package. See Screenshot. Is this the new mechanism to connect to Rithmic and when will we able to use it ? Thanks

When the testing is complete and approved, then that will be the new connection to Rithmic, but we are still testing. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Thanks John. One last question - will this new connection be a plug in into R Trader Pro or is it only a direct connection ??

Testing is complete, but we are still waiting on some information from Rithmic. We are almost there, but these things always have a few last minute items that need to get cleaned up.

Any update on that, there is another thread with DTC and Rithmic as well but no update (waiting for IPs). really appreciate SC and don't want to play the NT8 game but only feasible option with Topstep. I use SC for charting but would be great if I can play with topstep here as well. Thanks

The DTC and Rithmic thread is the same interface. We are still waiting on some information from Rithmic. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Very excited to see this! I trade with one of the above mentioned prop firms and am also in the situation of being forced to use Rithmic despite SC being my favorite platform.

Support for the new Rithmic connection is done and released. But Rithmic wants to do some testing with one or two users first but basically from our perspective it is released and done.

@Technical I tested it and also got permission denied. Sounds like Rithmic is restricting access until their testing is finished with their beta users. It would be good to be notified when this restriction is lifted

I retested it this AM, I can connect now and it does download data however the current price is frozen/stuck, it does not advance or decline, like it is a static historical data at that point in time. I can go back to the bridge setting and it work as expected.

Seems pretty clear it's just plain not ready yet. I'd wait to hear something because even if it appears to work right now, who actually knows? Could really bite you.

I connected and it does work, there are a few issues. The symbols exchange a - for a ".". Sierra auto translate does not update, it is manual. Even then the charts are off, there is no historical data, not even a minute. I generated a generic one minute chart and it hugs the far left side and nothing I can do (lacking data) to move it back to the right.

Plan to trade with Topstep next month but only if I can utilize SC. Has Rithmic concluded its beta test? And has anyone successfully been able to connect and trade LIVE with accurate order flow?

@cornbeefsoup It will be a surprise if Rithmic answer you. I sent an email a few months ago and I didn't receive any return. @Sierra_Chart Engineering , when the Rithmic data will be definitely available for your users? Thanks all

Has anyone been able to connect to Topstep Combine? I don't see a 'Rithmic Topstep Trader' server in the server list for Direct-DTC interface like we currently have for the DTC Bridge. I'm getting 'permission denied' when using the 'Paper Trading' servers.

You need to follow the step-by-step instructions here for this: Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions As far as what server you should use for Top step trader, we do not know or whether that is supported.

Thank you. My error on Step 7. It appears the various evaluator-specific servers (TopStep, MES, uProfit) are not provided. This is presumably a Rithmic matter?
