Rithmic systems and gateways

Pick the right Rithmic system and gateway when you connect, and recognise a wrong one when the login fails.

A Rithmic login is more than a username and password. You also choose a system, the firm whose accounts you trade, and a gateway, where you connect. Both are under System · gateway when you add a Rithmic connection.

Choose them

  1. Add a connection as in Connect your broker, and pick Rithmic under Broker.

  2. Open Choose a system… and pick your firm, such as Apex or Bulenox. Supported brokers and prop firms lists every system.

  3. Open Choose a gateway… and pick one. It says Pick a system first until you have, because each system has its own gateways. Changing the system clears the gateway.

  4. Enter your Rithmic Username and Password, and press ADD CONNECTION. It can't be pressed until a system and a gateway are chosen.

Add a connection with Rithmic picked: the system and gateway to choose

The gateways each system offers

  • SpeedUp, UProfitTrader, Leeloo Trading, MES Capital, FundedFuturesNetwork, TheTradingPit, Bulenox, Neurostreet Funding and PropShopTrader: Chicago Area and Test (beta).

  • Rithmic Test: Orangeburg.

  • Every other system: Chicago Area, Seoul, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Sao Paolo, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Europe, Cape Town and Test (beta).

Rithmic itself decides which gateways serve a system, so a gateway from this list that doesn't serve yours fails at sign-in.

What a wrong choice looks like

A wrong system or gateway fails exactly like a wrong password. The status says auth failed — check credentials (auth failed in the desktop's left column), the connection shows under Needs attention, and on a phone its page says Rithmic refused the login. So when a Rithmic login is refused and you are sure of the password, check the system and the gateway.

Neither can be changed on a connection you have added. On a desktop, the connection's page shows its Gateway. To change either:

  1. Open the connection's Connection settings, press Remove this connection…, then REMOVE CONNECTION. Any agents on its accounts go with it.

  2. Add it again with the right system and gateway.

While the exchange is shut

Rithmic refuses every login while futures are shut: every weekday from 17:00 to 18:00 New York time, and from Friday 17:00 to Sunday 18:00. That is not a wrong choice. The status says waiting for the exchange instead, and the connection signs in by itself once the exchange has reopened. When a connection won't connect has the rest.
