Rithmic
A low-latency futures data and order routing provider used by many prop firms, known for its R|Trader software and connections to platforms like NinjaTrader.
In plain English
Rithmic supplies market data and order routing rather than charts. Prop accounts on Rithmic connect from platforms such as NinjaTrader, Quantower, or ATAS using Rithmic credentials the firm issues.
For traders, the practical points are which platforms a Rithmic account unlocks and the occasional data fee passed through. Firms sometimes run on Rithmic for evaluations and move funded traders elsewhere, so check both stages.
- A trader gets Rithmic credentials from their firm, plugs them into NinjaTrader, and trades the evaluation from the same charts they use elsewhere.
