Rithmic market data and live account

OpenBackTest includes a Rithmic provider for the Phidias paper-trading profile (Rithmic Paper Trading / Chicago Area). The Live Trade mode shows broker account statistics and can route market orders, cancel orders, and flatten a position through the local .NET RAPI+ gateway. See gateway/README.md for setup and live-mode precautions.

Start the gateway, start OpenBackTest, then choose Connect with Rithmic credentials in the data controls. Credentials are entered in the browser and forwarded only to the local gateway; they are not part of the repository.

Testing
