Elite Trader Funding
on Mac.

Your Rithmic account

Elite Trader Funding offers Tradovate, Rithmic, and Tickblaze, and says Tradovate and Rithmic credentials can’t be used on each other’s platforms. Its Rithmic guide uses the Rithmic Paper Trading system. ETF’s help pages describe Rithmic and NinjaTrader as Windows only and point Mac users to Tradovate, TradingView, or Parallels. A native Mac Rithmic app is another route; confirm with ETF that the platform you choose is permitted.

Set up on Mac

1. 1

   Choose Rithmic at checkout

   Since January 28, 2026, new Rithmic accounts at ETF carry an additional $45 monthly connection cost per account. ETF says its Tradovate bundle has no such fee at this time.

2. 2

   Accept the agreements

   ETF says you must accept all three Rithmic agreements, and its guide tells traders to select non-professional status. Confirm that classification applies to you.

3. 3

   Connect with your dashboard login

   Use the credentials from your Trader Dashboard without changing the username or password, select Rithmic Paper Trading, and choose the gateway closest to you.

Using Lightwick

Lightwick brings Rithmic trading to a native Mac workspace, with charts, market depth, order entry, and account tools together. Start with Elite Trader Funding’s Rithmic account option and the connection details supplied with your account.

Lightwick is free during beta. Create an account to get started, with connection guidance for your trading account.

Can I keep R | Trader open while trading on another platform?

ETF says you can’t be logged in to Rithmic data and data on your trading platform at the same time. Close one session before opening the other, or the first connection may be disconnected.
