Rithmic Footprint Software: Connection and Data Checklist

Direct Rithmic access and local bridges

Senzoukria implements Rithmic R | Protocol directly. Enter the account’s username, password and system name in the desktop connection flow. Credentials are stored in the operating-system keychain. Do not enter broker credentials into a public website form.

A local NinjaTrader bridge is another data path when that platform already has the feed on the same machine. Direct and bridged connections can have different data and history capabilities; compare the actual fields received rather than assuming identical coverage. See installation instructions.

What to verify with the account provider

• The account’s current system name and permitted third-party applications.
• Exchange and instrument subscriptions for live trades.
• Depth availability and the distinction between price-level and order-level data.
• Historical trade and depth availability for the requested dates.
• Concurrent-session limits and the chosen bridge or direct connection.
• Manual order-routing and automated-strategy permissions separately.

Use the Rithmic FAQ and your account provider’s current instructions. A firm’s name in a connection catalogue is not proof that every account type permits the same access.

Footprint, DOM and history need different evidence

The footprint needs executions and a side classification. The DOM needs resting depth. Historical heatmaps need recorded depth updates, which cannot be reconstructed from trades alone.

CME distinguishes Market by Price from Market by Order: order-level information is more granular, but remains anonymous. A feed’s technical capability does not establish your account’s entitlement or the application’s historical coverage.

If a chart is empty, verify symbol, expiry, session, connection status and entitlement before changing indicators. Keep the error and requested interval. The historical data notes describe past investigations; account conditions still need checking today.

Analysis, manual orders and armed automation

Senzoukria is not globally read-only. Charts support analysis; supported Rithmic connections also expose manual order entry. A separate strategy autopilot can send broker orders after explicit arming, with risk settings and a STOP control. It requires the desktop, connection and relevant chart to remain running.

General AI tools read application context; they do not arm that autopilot. Software capability and permission from a prop firm are different questions. Follow the account permission checklist for your exact use.

Choose the platform after checking the feed

Compare orderflow software using one instrument, the required history and the full cost. Senzoukria’s eligible first month is $9, then $29/month, or $240 annually. Exchange and market-data charges are separate; see pricing and data access.
