Why doesn’t my Rithmic data work?
1. Make sure you signed the Rithmic agreements. Agreements can be signed in 3 ways:
- Go to rithmic website, log in and sign.
- Try to log in, catch a notification with link ➝ log in ➝ sign.
- Try to log in using R|Trader Pro., it will notify you with pop-up dialog and you will be able to sign all agreements in it.
2. If you did pay for Rithmic but did not receive credentials
If you have not received the email within 20 minutes, please check the spam folder. Otherwise, reach our support team at support@bookmap.com
3. If you cannot connect to Rithmic
- If you subscribed to Rithmic on Bookmap marketplace, make sure that in configuration, you are using System = ‘Rithmic Paper Trading’
- If you are using a Plugin mode, make sure you’re using the same credentials in Bookmap and in R|Trader Pro.
4. If you cannot subscribe to an instrument
- If you have Rithmic via your broker, you may need to contact your broker and ask him to enable the market order data
- Make sure you are using the following format ESU0. For other products, go to the symbols table. To learn what is the current expiry go to CME website
