To connect Overcharts to Rithmic, please follow these steps carefully:
1. Rithmic Account – If you do not already have a Rithmic account (demo or real), you need to open a demo or real account with a broker that supports Rithmic. Rithmic does NOT sell directly to the end user.
You can choose any broker that supports Rithmic even if it is NOT included in the list of official brokers supported by Overcharts. ANY broker that supports Rithmic is compatible with Overcharts.Anyway, see Brokers & Data Feeds page on our website for the list of Overcharts supported brokers that provide Rithmic data-feed
Remember to sign online the Agreements!Remember to sign online the agreements that Rithmic requires to actually enable your new account. All the explanations on how to do this are contained in the email that your broker sent you along with the credentials of your new Rithmic account.
2. Once you got data-feed credentials (username and password) from your broker, proceed with the connection configuration on Overcharts:
3. Once the configuration is complete, start the connection by pressing CONNECT button or by double-clicking on the connection. You are connected successfully if dots near the connection are all green.
If, on the other hand, there is at least one red dot, it means that:
Hover over “i” icon (next to the red dot) to read a more detailed error message.
If the connection fails, we recommend you download and install R|Trader Pro, the official Rithmic application (you can download the application from Rithmic website), then try to log-in using your Rithmic account credentials.If you are NOT able to log into R|Trader Pro, your Rithmic account is probably not working properly. Contact your broker and/or Rithmic support. Unfortunately we can NOT help you in this case.
If you use Rithmic credentials containing special characters, you may not be able to login to Rithmic from Overcharts. In that case, we recommend you try to change your Rithmic account password using only numbers and letters (both Uppercase and lowercase).
