Your Rithmic account

Phidias offers DeepCharts with dxFeed, any Rithmic-compatible platform, or NinjaTrader and Tradovate, and says the feed you choose is final for that account. Its Rithmic guide uses Rithmic Paper Trading with the Chicago Area gateway, and its help center explains how Mac users sign Rithmic’s agreements online.

For your Mac setup

Use Rithmic Paper Trading and Chicago Area, and sign the agreements through Rithmic’s web links.

Set up on Mac

  1. Choose Rithmic when you buy

    Phidias says the data feed choice is final for the account. Pick Rithmic for a Rithmic Mac application.

  2. Sign the agreements in your browser

    Phidias links Mac users to Rithmic’s web agreement pages. Use the credentials from your payment confirmation email.

  3. Connect on Mac

    Select Rithmic Paper Trading and Chicago Area in your Mac application, then select your Phidias account.

Does Rithmic support Mac at Phidias?

Phidias notes that Rithmic doesn’t natively support macOS, meaning Rithmic’s own desktop software. After signing the agreements online, it has pointed Mac users to a Windows virtual machine, MotiveWave, or Rithmic’s web app.
