Yeah, directly from Sierra. Error message is - "Connection error message from service: Rithmic Trading | Logon error received from server" In the message log it shows the bridge as working but I guess it isn't. Files are as they state on the forum. Again could be outdated files since I got them by just downloading an old version. I have "Paper trading service" selected. Reentered everything multiple times. Not sure what else to do.
I do have the bridge zip file if you want to try that.
First thing is go under "Help" and "download current version" and install it with the "install optional components" box checked. This is an easy process. Have to do nothing other than check the box and tell it to install.
It appears that is the correct Rithmic feed from E2T telling me earlier in the thread.
Install the zip I send you. Create the folder called Rim under the Sierra Chart folder if you haven't done that. Attached is a screenshot of what is in my Rim file.
I'm having my funded account set up with E2T. I traded my Gauntlet with Sierra with the Rithmic feed.
Make sure your user and pass is correct for the Rithmic feed. Make sure the 'Trade Simulation Mode On' option under the trade tab is not checked.
Attached is my the bridge zip file I used. No, it's not infected and I haven't put anything in there. I don't even know how.
I'm not a big fan of tradingschools.org either, but that is a pretty lengthy overview of the CFTC charges and investigation, and seems reasonably balanced to me.
The article includes the following two paragraphs for example among the final two sections of the piece.
"It is important to note that although the CFTC complaint is extremely damaging, and it appears that a criminal investigation would be warranted — that all of these are currently just allegations. "
"Regardless of my opinion of day traders and the “funded trader” industry…it is important to note that Ryan Masten has a very good reputation this industry. TradingSchools.Org has received no complaints regarding Earn2Trade."
CFTC don't just charge somebody with fraud on a whim. It would certainly be enough to give me pause for thought at this time if purchasing a product or service that he was involved in.

Hmm. I'm not aware of CFTC workings or credibility tbh (since I'm not from US), but judging by info you have provided that does seem like legitment concern.
Curious, what makes you not a big fan of tradingschools.org? I have generally found all their reviews to be accurate, although sometimes a bit hyperbolic. For any vendor out there, the first thing I look for is a review by Emmett.
Neither am I, I live in the UK.
But they are a government agency with a mission statement that reads "The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is to promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the U.S. derivatives markets through sound regulation." They're not going to charge somebody without having done enough investigation for them to believe that they have a strong and valid case.
