Note that there are two ways to connect to Rithmic. With this approach, you are connecting directly to the Rithmic RTrader Pro application. This will NOT count as 1 connection. The alternate approach is to connect direct to your Rithmic account, that will be counted as 1 login to Rithmic. Click Here for instructions on connecting to Rithmic Feed directly.

1. This step is required for the new connectivity option.  R|Trader Pro must be running on your computer for this connection to work.  Instructions for RTrader can be found here: Rithmic CME Market Data Subscription Fees
   

2. When running R | Trader Pro, you must access the Advanced settings and enable market data and plug-in access. This allows Jigsaw daytradr to connect to R Trader Pro gateway. 

3. For example, if your broker sets up your account with a limit of 1 market data connection and 3 orders connections, this means you can run R | Trader Pro plus 2 instances of Jigsaw daytradr simultaneously on the same machine using only 1 market data connection. Collectively there are three orders connections active for execution purposes but only a single market data connection shared by the three running apps.

2. When running R | Trader Pro, you must access the Advanced settings and enable market data and plug-in access. This allowsJigsaw to connect to R Trader Pro gateway.
