Clarification on Using Rithmic Data from Apex Without Live Funded Account

I’m currently using Sierra Chart with the Rithmic data feed provided by Apex Trader Funding. I did not purchase the Denali Exchange Data Feed, and I also don’t have a live funded futures trading account connected to my Sierra Chart setup.
Despite this, I am still able to access real-time CME data and place trades directly through Sierra Chart using my Rithmic login from Apex.
I understand that for non-professional CME data through the Denali feed, CME requires a live funded account connection once per month.

My questions:
1.Is it permitted to use Sierra Chart with Rithmic-provided CME data (from Apex) without connecting a live funded futures account, as long as I'm not using Denali?
2.Could this usage violate any data feed or exchange compliance rules?


I just want to make sure I’m not violating any terms or putting my account at risk.
Thanks in advance for the clarification!

I saw in the support forum that as of version 2728, Rithmic data is no longer supported, and CME data should be accessed through Denali (with live account verification).

I am currently using Sierra Chart version 2747 and connecting via Rithmic credentials provided by apex.

However, I am still able to receive CME market data and place trades.

Can you please confirm whether my current access setup is valid, or if I need to make adjustments to remain compliant with Sierra Chart and CME requirements?

Thank you.

with version 2737 the Rithmic data-connection is back (of course the order-routing was always available), if this is allowed without Live-account will someone from support-team answer.

1.Is it permitted to use Sierra Chart with Rithmic-provided CME data (from Apex) without connecting a live funded futures account, as long as I'm not using Denali?
Yes this is fine for now. This could change later but for now there are no changes. However, be aware of the following:

2.Could this usage violate any data feed or exchange compliance rules?
No, there is no problem with this.
