A low-latency market-data and order-routing gateway (with its own R|Trader app) that sits UNDER other platforms; many firms and platforms connect through Rithmic rather than using it as a charting app.
Where it tends to fit
Traders who want fast, reliable data/routing and usually pair it with a charting platform like NinjaTrader or Quantower.
Operating caveat
It is plumbing, not a charting front-end; most people use it via another platform, not on its own.
How to connect your firm account
- Pick a front-end platform (NinjaTrader, Quantower, etc.) that supports a Rithmic connection.
- Add a Rithmic connection in that platform using the firm-issued Rithmic credentials and server/gateway.
- Connect and trade your firm account through that platform.
Steps vary by firm. Use your firm-dashboard credentials, then check your firm's setup help and Rithmic's official site for the current details.
