I would like to do the Apex Trader Funding evaluation. I currently have a personal futures account with Tradestation, I am designated as a professional by CME, and I currently use Denali for my data feed into Sierra Chart. Given this, how can I set up my Sierra Chart to participate in the Apex Trader Funding eval, which uses Rithmic data etc.?

You are all completely set on the market data side. You will continue to use the Denali Data Feed when using Rithmic. Just follow through the instructions here to use Rithmic: Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions The market data will come from the Denali data feed as long as this option is enabled: Data/Trade Service Settings: Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Other Settings) (And you definitely do want to keep this enabled) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

OK great, thank you. I will give this a try. So I don't need to have a different live funded account that uses Rithmic? Is this because I am designated as a professional? Thanks again. I followed the instructions to set up Rithmic. I do see my Apex account connected to Sierra Chart. However, I am not seeing the [M] next to indicate that the Denali feed is being used instead of the Rithmic feed. Please see attachments. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-04-24 16:41:02

You are correct - you do not need a different live funded account because you are a professional. As to the [M] not showing, please do the following so we can see your Message Log to ensure you are getting the data from us: Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log: Message Log: Clearing the Message Log Open a chart for the symbol you have an issue with. Tell us that symbol of the chart. Disconnect from the data feed with "File >> Disconnect". Connect to the data feed with "File >> Connect to Data Feed". After the connection and after about 10 seconds, provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#MessageLog We will then determine what the problem is.

Sorry for the delay, I replied to this post a few days ago but it seems to not have posted. Anyways...I sent the Message Log to you privately. As an update, after restarting Sierra Chart, I now see the [M], and have been able to place trades for the Apex/Rithmic account, so I guess all is good? As a separate matter, I have noticed that when replaying the DOM the bid and offer orders are not showing up. There is simply a 1 displayed in each column. Please see attached screenshot. Thanks for your help. |

Given my current setup, will I have to buy the "CBOT, For professionals and users without a trading account" for $122 a month if I want to see the DOM data for ZN futures? Is there a cheaper alternative? Currently trading with Apex Trader Funding/Rithmic.

No, if you do not need real-time data. We would recommend using another installation of Sierra Chart to use the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service: Sierra Chart Historical Data Service And then you can access all of the historical market depth data that you need.

Sorry for the lack of clarity...I would like to trade ZN futures so I would need real time data, just like I have with ES.

In order to get real-time data from us for ZN as a professional you would have to pay the $122 for the "CBOT, For professionals and users without a trading account" exchange. The other option is to get the data from your Rithmic account with Apex. If you open a chart for ZN that would be where the data would come from right now. You can then do as suggested above to have a separate chart with the historical data, if you need it.
