Hello Sierra Users, Sierra Chart has brought to my attention that some of the users have experienced some difficulties when trying to login to our demo environment. Below are the instructions in order to resolve the permission denied issues.

Let's use this thread for any questions you may have about www.OptimusFutures.com and Rithmic data.

Thank you,

Matt Zimberg
Managing Director
Optimus Trading Group




Resolving a ‘Permission Denied’ error when trying to login to a Rithmic demo

There are a few different reasons a user can receive a ‘Permission Denied’ error when trying to login to a Rithmic demo including but not limited to:

1. The user has no completed the Rithmic Market Data Agreements and Self-Certification Process.

  Every Rithmic user must complete this process before they will be able to login to any platform. To   complete this process please use these instructions below:

  Video Instructions Here: http://youtu.be/QcIryexda_g

  Please follow the steps below:
  1. Download & Install R Trader from the following link: https://rithmic.com/rtrader.msi
  2. Launch R Trader and enter the demo username and password that was emailed to you.
  3. For the ‘System’ field, please choose ‘Rithmic Paper Trading.
  4. The agreements will pop up in a new window, please double click on each of them and agree or    certify yourself as either Non-Professional or Professional.
  5. Once these both appear as green and accepted you should be able to access your trial. You may    close and uninstall R Trader at this point if you wish.

2. The user’s machine has been flagged as having a previous Rithmic demo.

  Rithmic demos are limited to 30 days per exchange guidelines on providing live, streaming data. If   you have used a Rithmic demo previously you would not be able to login with a new Rithmic demo   username.

3. The ‘System’ is set incorrectly.

  For demo users please choose ‘Rithmic Paper Trading’ for the System field. Rithmic 01 is reserved for live users.

4. The user used the PC’s Copy/Paste function.

  If a user users the PC’s Copy/Paste function it can sometimes insert spaces before or after the   username or password which will result in a login failure. Please type these in manually, and use all   upper-case characters for both the username and password.

5. The user did not sign up for a SierraChart account.

  There will be two sets of credentials needed to get started with SierraChart. You will need your Rithmic username and   password as well as a SierraChart account username and password. If you have not signed up for a SierraChart   account, you can do using the following link: https://www.sierrachart.com/RegisterStep1.php

6. The demo period has expired.

7. The username is disabled

If you are still experiencing issues logging in after referencing the above please send an email to Support[at]OptimusFutures.com with your demo username and we will be more than happy to assist in getting you up and running.

I think that your historically great support combined with Sierra's great support will make a successful combination.
I already have an account with Steve at Vision, otherwise I would join you at Optimus.
Best regards,

Shane

SierraChart - New Navigation Redesign for Optimus Trading Group (Optimus Screen)

As part of our continued efforts to offer more value for our customers, the Optimus team has been hard at work redesigning the SierraChart toolbar to make for a more pleasant visual display and reference to tools that some of you may use actively throughout your trading sessions.

It is currently being implemented by the SierraChart team and will be available in just a few days for all Optimus customers at no extra cost. Moving forward, this update will be called ‘OptimusScreen’ to identify these extra features that are Optimus exclusive.

We would like to thank all of our customers for their commitment and welcome you to share your thoughts, ideas, and comments with us as we strive to provide our customers with a trading environment conducive to success.

To see a preview of the toolbar redesign please take a look at image. The navigation bar below is old one one, while the one above is the OptimusScreen implementation. http://bit.ly/Ysf3Gn

Thanks,
Matt

Thank you to the guys at SierraChart and Rithmic that have made this happen.

As part of an on-going process to make our services as efficient and easy as possible for our prospective clients we have made some improvements to our SierraChart demo system.
Previously, those who wished to try SierraChart with the Rithmic data feed would have to request Rithmic credentials for market data on our website, but would then also have to create an account on the SierraChart website to gain access to the SierraChart software.

We felt that this created unnecessary steps and confusion for setting up the SierraChart demo, so we made a few changes to the process to make it easier for our users.

Now, those who are interested in trying SierraChart & Rithmic can request Rithmic credentials and create a SierraChart software account all from the same form to save time with setting up the SierraChart & Rithmic demo system.
