i would assume funding companies would simply prefer to have a single, unified solution for offering a simulated trading account across all of their trading platform options for consistency's sake. they obviously can't rely on the SierraChart Simulator service for their users who are using Ninjatrader or any other platform that is not Sierrachart. but for the sake of argument, sure, let's say these funding companies make an exception for Sierrachart users and use the SierraChart Simulator service instead of Rithmic for the evaluation component. well, then what happens after the user successfully passes the evaluation and is funded with a live (not sim) account? what happens is that almost all of these companies only offer Rithmic for ther live, FUNDED accounts so even with a SierraChart Simulator service, there's still no way to avoid Rithmic in the end. either (1) Sierrachart somehow convinces all of these funding companies to adopt TT order routing for funded Sierrachart users, OR (2) Sierrachart maintains support for Rithmic order routing and SC users use the Denali datafeed instead while routing orders through Rithmic. which one do you think is more feasible? obviously (2). i'm not an engineer so i don't know the technical details but when you say the SC bridge with Rithmic is subpar, is that referring to the datafeed only or also order routing? because if it's something that only affects datafeed transmission, would it really be too much to ask that you maintain the latest support for at least Rithmic order routing? that way, we can simply use the Denali datafeed and route orders through Rithmic. |
