Symbol issue using Rithmic Data

Hello-

Two weeks ago I successfully set up Sierra Charts and had real time data populating my charts using the data provided from Sierra.

Today (Monday 7/21/14) I am beginning a TopStep Trader combine and with the assistance of Topstep support connected the Sierra Charts to the Rithmic Trading data. I have a "green" bar in the upper right of the chart interface.

However, the chart I bring up is not updated - the last price bar I see is from when I last disconnected about 10 days ago.

Upon connection I get the following message in 2 boxes:
"Symbol is unknown.
Click for symbol information."

"Download Failed."

In my Sierra message log I see:
"Connection Login Complete. Result text: "ok" "
then later on ...

HD Request # 2 - Error downloading historical Intraday data for CLU14. Unable to download historical data because the symbol is not valid / 2014-07-21 9:03:00

Please advise how I can get the real time data from Rithmic populating my price / trading charts.

Thank you-

David

CLU14 is not a valid Rithmic symbol.

It needs to be: CLU4-NYMEX

Follow the instructions here to change the symbol of existing charts:
