I'm doing a trial with MES Capital, data feed is Rithmic, and the Paper Trading Server is selected in the Rithmic Data/Trade Service Settings box. Sierra Chart is set to Trade Simulation Mode On. I'm trading from the chart but my orders/trades are not registering on the R/Trader platform, do I need to have Sierra chart set to "Live Trading"? Or what do I need to do to get my trades to show up on Rithmic's Paper Trading Server?

You need to disable Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On. Also, in the latest release of Sierra Chart there is a new Server setting specific for MES Capital.

Hello, I'm using the Rithmic feed from MES Capital. With this new Server setting do I now need to manually change some setting ? |

Hi, I also just started a trial with MES Capital, using the rithmic data feed. I have noticed that when the markets start moving quickly, the bars are not always keeping up with the last trade price on the Dom. Sometimes the trade can move several ticks without updating the bar. Settings are: Intraday Storage Time Unit: 1 tick Allow Support for Sierra Chart feeds: enabled Enable FIX logging: enabled. Charting through a DTC sub instance. Should the MES Capital server setting be used for paper trading? thanks |

Also, if we subscribe to the Sierra Chart Real Time Data, can it still be linked with Rithmic platform and not use Rithmic Data? Also not sure if this makes a difference, But I renamed the DTC server instance to something else so that I can differeniate it in the list of processes. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-11-30 03:41:48

I'm using the Rithmic feed from MES Capital. With this new Server setting do I now need to manually change some setting ? In regards to post #4, we are not sure of what the cause is. In general refer to help topic 4: Prices / Data Falling Behind Sometimes the trade can move several ticks without updating the bar.
It must eventually update. How much of a delay is there?Also, if we subscribe to the Sierra Chart Real Time Data, can it still be linked with Rithmic platform and not use Rithmic Data? Yes.

Yes it does eventually update. The Delay seems to vary. Anywhere from 1-10 seconds. I can try to start timing it. It might be my imagination but it seems to happen more on down ticks. I can try to start timing currently viewing it on 6JZ with 1 minute and 30 tick charts. I was also experiencing the problem on YM. Earlier. It is enough of a delay to interfere with trading as the 30 tick chart supplements my order flow reading, and sometimes when it does update this chart there can be up to 7 new bars after the delay I also should mention that I have tried setting my chart update interval globally to 1ms. No difference. I was hoping maybe there was a setting I am overlooking Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-11-30 04:31:15

Also. I have not timed it yet. But I am suspecting it may not be time related.

The only help we can offer is help topic 4: Prices / Data Falling Behind I also should mention that I have tried setting my chart update interval globally to 1ms.
Do not do this! That is way too low. You really should not go lower than 200 milliseconds.

ok I think it is sorted. It was either the chart update interval being to low. Or my malware program does not like the DTC bridge associated with rithmic. Pretty sure it was the chart update interval though.

I thought it was working properly That was a premature conclusion. It just did not act up for a while. I have completed the following steps in help topic 4 with no success. 4.1 - reconnected. 4.2 - adjusted chart update interval and quote board intervals globally to 500ms. 4.3 - windows defender is disabled - All other anti-malware/virus has been disabled as well. - all custom studies have been removed from chart - CPU usage is <5% at its spikes 4.4 - NA 4.5 - Quoteboard and Dom are producing timely updates. 4.6 - Followed the steps and verified that the last trade price in the quote board is keeping up with the time. I never had any of these issues stated in previous posts before when using interactive brokers platfrom feed or sc data feed. Also The other DTC instance I am using for the Sierra chart forex feed is not experiencing these issues. |

We do not see how we can help with this. Could be due to how the connection to Rithmic works which is not really very good to begin with. They use what is known as an API in process component: Sierra Chart Does not Support External Service API Components If you continue to have a problem we recommend using some other supported service other than Rithmic or use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
