You can have Continuous Futures Contracts with Rithmic data, but the problem is that Rithmic does not provide any historical data for previous contracts. So the only way this works with their data is if you have already captured the previous contract data on your system (i.e. you have downloaded it when it was live data).

The best solution is to use our Denali Exchange Data Feed instead. There is the requirement that you have a live, funded, futures trading account in order to qualify for the non-professional exchange fees from the CME Group. And you need to be able to connect to that account at least once a month. Refer to the following:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

If you do not have an account that qualifies for the above, then we recommend the solution outlined at the following link:
