Your Rithmic account

DayTraders.com accounts work exclusively through Rithmic, and the firm doesn’t support NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, or TradingView. It uses a firm-specific Rithmic system, DayTraders.com, with the Chicago gateway. Its help center marks ONYX, MotiveWave, Finamark, and Bookmap as Mac compatible.

What happens to my accounts when I go live?
