The Trading Pit
on Mac.

Your Rithmic account

The Trading Pit runs its Futures Challenges on Rithmic and lists ATAS, Quantower, Volsys, and R | Trader for them. Futures Prime Challenges add Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and TradingView. Its Rithmic setup uses a firm-specific system, The Trading Pit, with the Frankfurt gateway.

Set up on Mac

1. 1

   Sign the agreement online

   The Trading Pit links to a Rithmic web page for accepting the terms. Sign in with your platform credentials, not your dashboard login. Certifying as a professional is invoiced at $488.

2. 2

   Select the firm’s system

   Choose The Trading Pit as the system and Frankfurt as the gateway, using the platform User ID and password from your email.

3. 3

   Check concurrent sessions

   The Trading Pit allows concurrent sessions only for accounts created with R | Trader Pro selected and Allow Plugins enabled. Otherwise, use one application at a time.

Using Lightwick

Lightwick brings Rithmic trading to a native Mac workspace, with charts, market depth, order entry, and account tools together. Start with The Trading Pit’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 activate my account without Windows?

Yes. The Trading Pit’s activation guide has you accept Rithmic’s terms on Rithmic’s website, using your platform credentials. You don’t need R | Trader Pro for that step.
