Can someone please help me on how to connect Sierra Charts to Rithmic 01. Broker is Ironbeam/ Discount Trading. I downloaded a DTC Bridge patch that Discount sent me but when executed says "Port number not specified will exit". I was told I need to use a Sierra Chart Version Pre 12/31/2020. I'm currently using version 2239. Don't know if that's the problem. Please help, Thank You |

Not sure if you figured this out but if you run the DTC Bridge program directly you will get "Port number not specified will exit" error. If your Data/Trade Service is set to -> Rithmic Trading and you connect SC will auto launch the DTC Bridge and connect you.

Example c:\sierra\rim\rithmic.log open that with a text editor and you should see an error

Download the files from here Rithmic Bridge Files and try again... those are the files I used and everything worked fine. So remove all the files you have in your Rim folder and replace with these then try again.

You have your Data/Trade Service set to -> Rithmic Trading setup, pointing to the right server? There are 2 Rithmic servers in the drop-down don't use the one that says DTC. Attach a screenshot of your error message |

Well, sorry, but I can't do that at the moment because I actually defunded and suspended the account we are referring to. It was taking too long to get support and I felt that if this was going to be the case going forward, even occasionally, and considerable money would be at risk on occasion when I had a technical problem, that would be untenable. However, I did not close the account altogether in case the problem did eventually get resolved as we are trying to do here. So what I can tell you if it helps is that I set the Data/ Trade Service to "Rithmic 01". At that time it did not work.

Haha wish you would have told me that first, I wouldn't have wasted my time. ;-) This thread is marked as User Discussion and I believe SC doesn't monitor or give support to these so... Cheers |
