As of v6.1.14 (released April 24th), in preparation for the CME data pricing changes coming May 2020, protocols were added for Rithmic to allow plugging into R Trader Pro. This will effectively reduce the number of concurrent logins, reducing data fees.

Does this mean that we can have MW and RT Pro open at the same time and it will only show as one connection? As in can I then open another Platform or connection since Rithmic allows 2 connections? Thanks for the clarification.

Hi,

Yes. You would have to select R Trader Gateway in the Market Data dropdown within MotiveWave and in R Trader you would need to have enable plugins activated.

Joe,

Thanks for that clarification.

If anybody else is having issues or needs some assistance in understanding the workaround, the below might be of some help.

I am using a Rithmic data feed/connection via the Top Step Trader program. Here is a screenshot of what I checked off and enabled.

Also found a video that Optimus Futures (no affilitaiton here) posted in You Tube that was pretty detailed and helpful in understanding the RT Pro Workaround. (Link is below )

I did notice, and it might be due to the SIM environment of the TsT connection, that I did not have the option to choose the "RT Pro ON THIS MACHINE" in the drop down list. (you can see what I am referencing in an example right around the 7:30ish mark in that you tube video).

I also have not tried with any other platforms, and your results may vary :)

Happy Trading :)
