Using SC with Rithmic Account & Rithmic Data
WARNING
As of Jan 1, 2025, you can no longer use Sierra Chart with Rithmic data on versions greater than 2728. If you want to use Sierra Chart with Rithmic data your only option is to downgrade your version of Sierra to a version less than 2728. You can watch this video that briefly covers installing a specific version of Sierra Chart. We still recommend version 2634. https://www.tradingplatformhelp.com/courses/sierrachart/lectures/48759071
You can still continue to use Rithmic on Sierra Chart, but you need to use denali data or downgrade as mentioned above.
IMPORTANT
If you do not have at least service package 10 you cannot connect to Rithmic.
Service package 10 is standard.
Service package 11 is the same as 10, but has footprint and TPO charts.
Steps to login
- Visit data/trade settings in Sierra Chart
- Choose correct brokerage/trade service provider
- Chose correct server from list
- Enter username and password
- Click apply all
Choosing the correct server and using the RITHMIC username and password are the most important steps. Try multiple Rithmic servers. For example, some prop firms use "Rithmic Paper Trading" server for their evaluations, but then something entirely different from their PA or funded accounts.
