    Hi Guys, I am new to NinjaTrader and Rithmic as a feed.
    I have opened an account with www.optimusfutures.com because they said they do provide the Rithmic feed. But, when I opened my NinjaTrader platform I had to choose vision financial as a feed.

    I just wanted to be sure that it's actually Rithmic as they told me.
    They said they use the FCM name instead of the name Rithmic itself.

    So far no complaints, all works well, but I wanted to make sure I am getting what is everyone bragging about. I see Jonathan's comments are here, who is from Rithmic, so I would appreciate his comments here about this and the broker of choice.

    Best,

    RobertG

    When Ninja connects to Vision Financial it connects to a Rithmic system.

  3. Is there any advantage about using NT w/ Rithmic feed if the bottleneck is ninja itself (granularity of just 1 sec, etc)?
    :confused:

    from all the feeds I have tried, Rithmic has been best so far.
    I have never heard of that feed before until the broker told me about it. work well.

    I suggest that you ask the guys at Optimus Trading Groupwww.optimusfutures.com/rithmic.htm to hook you up with Rithmic API. This is what I use with them in my NinjaTrader as well. They have told me that you can host on Rithmic hosting servers as well. I was considering that once I have my programming configured.
