It says to test it in sim first.How can I test in sim to see if it trades all accounts when it all turns to sim? Do I need to have a seperate trade window open with that account up? Or, will it work if I just use 1 trade window and swap between accounts?

Result text: "permission denied" Rithmic DTC - Server Alert: get_order_book error : 13. Result text: "permission denied" The Rithmic system may not provide historical Intraday data for futures option symbols. For CME futures options, it is recommended to use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for historical and real-time data. Rithmic Market Data and Support PolicyIt is mandatory to read this section when using Rithmic with Sierra Chart and especially when using Rithmic market data. You will have problems and issues and a poor impression when using Rithmic market data with Sierra Chart, in particular historical data. You have been advised about this in advance. Sierra Chart does not provide any technical support for issues with Rithmic market data (whether historical or real-time). Sierra Chart does not provide technical support for issues with Rithmic trading functionality. We will not be responding to any issues involving Rithmic historical data, real-time data or trading issues. Sierra Chart provides support for using Sierra Chart. We can only provide help for basic questions with Rithmic connectivity if we are able to help. Although everything you need to know is on this page. If you contact us about Rithmic market data issues, you will be referred to this section. There is no further help we will provide. We cannot solve Rithmic market data issues. There are ongoing historical data issues with Rithmic. Sierra Chart does not recommend using Rithmic historical data under any circumstances. You will have problems! This is guaranteed. You have been warned in advance. Rithmic has been made aware of them. In any case historical data from other sources is always very substandard to historical data provided from Sierra Chart historical data services. Therefore, for the best and most reliable experience when using Sierra Chart, you must use Sierra Chart provided data feeds which include historical data. This data feed for Rithmic will be the Denali Exchange Data Feed. When using Rithmic with Sierra Chart, you must use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for market data. Otherwise, you will have historical data issues. Not only must you use a Service Package that includes the Denali Exchange Data Feed, but you must also activate and pay for the exchanges you require data for. Otherwise, you will not get historical or real-time data for that exchange when using Rithmic. If you do not have your own actual live funded trading account, then to authorize the CME Group real-time data at the nonprofessional exchange fees when using the Denali Exchange Data Feed, refer to the Easy Solution. If you are using services like Top Step Trader, Earn 2 Trade, One Up Trader, LeeLoo, UProfit, and other trading evaluator accounts, you must use the Easy Solution method to authorize the real-time data from any or all of the CME Group of exchanges at the nonprofessional exchange fees, if you have no other live funded trading account you can connect Sierra Chart to. Otherwise, activating these nonprofessional exchanges still will not provide you with real-time or historical data from the Denali Exchange Data Feed. Top Step Trader, Earn 2 Trade, One Up Trader, LeeLoo, UProfit, and other type of trading evaluator accounts, do not meet the requirement as a live funded trading account according to CME policy. To avoid paying exchange fees twice, once you are paying the exchange fees through the Denali Exchange Data Feed, you can cancel the exchange fees you pay to your broker for Rithmic, if you are able to. If you cannot, we cannot help that situation. You simply must use the Denali Exchange Data Feed and pay the required exchange fees for data when using Rithmic. There is no other possibility. Otherwise, you will have issues with historical data. The reason the exchange fees have to be paid is due to exchange market data policy. In order to receive historical data which is current to the real-time, requires the payment of exchange fees and only Sierra Chart is able to provide reliable historical data for Sierra Chart. There has never been any service, that Sierra Chart has worked with, which has provided historical data with the completeness, speed and reliability that Sierra Chart historical data services have provided. We are thoroughly exhausted, answering endless questions about Rithmic historical data. Do not try to make a Rithmic historical data work. You will not be successful. And it does not matter to us if you do not have a problem in another program. Sierra Chart has the very best historical data that exists and it works properly and is fast and efficient. If you are performing live trading through Rithmic, consider using the Teton Order Routing Service instead. It is a very high quality service with direct exchange connectivity and no transaction fees. If you are performing simulated trading through Rithmic, consider using the Simulated Futures Trading Service instead. Permission Denied Resolution ProcedureWhen connecting to the Rithmic system, you may encounter a "permission denied" error. Below is an example of this from the : Rithmic Direct - DTC | Logon error received from server: permission denied | (Date-Time) This "permission denied" error is not within the control of Sierra Chart. This error message can be encountered by Rithmic users for various reasons. Sierra Chart can only advise to carefully go through the Setup Instructions again, making sure the Rithmic specific Service Settings are set correctly like the Server, Username and Password. If your password length, is 32 characters or greater, that is too long and would lead to a permission denied error. You need to request your broker or trading services provider to change this to a shorter length. For further help contact your broker or trading services provider for help with resolving this error. To use Sierra Chart provided data independent from Rithmic, so you can at least do charting, follow the instructions below.
