First, if you want good and reliable data, then you will need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:

This is essential. You do not want to rely upon Rithmic historical data.

And for order routing we would recommend using CQG or CTS:

I need to have my data BACK ADJUSTED, if that makes any difference.

Back adjustments are performed by using the Continuous Futures Contract feature:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts


We have done some documentation updates and your questions are answered here:

To accomplish what you want, you need to set Sierra Chart to download 1 Tick data and use this feature to compress the data older than a certain number of days:
