Each user is individually responsible for accurately representing themselves as a professional trader.

We will give you a one-day deadline to submit the necessary documents.

How Can I Troubleshoot Connection Issues with Rithmic?

Before addressing connectivity issues, it’s important to establish whether the problem is linked to your trading platform or lies in connecting via R Trader. Once successfully identified:

1. If you are using RTrader, confirm that you have selected “Rithmic Paper Trading” and select either "EUROPE" or "FRANKFURT" server if you are in or around Europe.
2. If you are experiencing issues with your trading platform, verify and review your settings. Check whether you can successfully log in via R|Trader Pro.

N.B. Maintenance during weekends can affect logins.

1. If you are logging in for the first time, it’s crucial to start the connection via R | TRADER to accept the two CME GROUP documents before accessing your preferred trading platform.
2. If after following all the troubleshooting steps the problem persists, reach out to us with snapshots of the error and settings from your trading platform.

How to Effectively Manage my Risk:

Be sure that you are following the proper criteria for the correct setup because since Rithmic is a third-party application, we will not accept any responsibility.

Step-by-step guide on How to Properly Manage Risk on Rithmic:

1. Open and access RTrader Pro.
2. Locate and click on the Trader Panel.
3. Find the account you wish to configure and right-click on it.
4. Select one of the available Auto Liquidate Criteria.
5. Choose the Trailing Minimum Account Balance.

Closing Trades and Technical Issues:

It's important to always ensure that RTrader is online any time you plan to trade because it will help you to keep an eye on your positions, plus it allows you the convenience of easily closing any open positions.

You can begin by trying to close an open position with RTrader Pro.

Log in, click on the open trades, then click on the X located next to the trades to close them. In the code of conduct, we talked about how important it is to be able to effectively manage technical issues, as it’s part and parcel of a trader’s life, and it also shows effort.

The Support and Live Chat Cannot Help You.

Kindly, don’t contact the live chat or email support concerning missed opportunities or closing trades due to technical issues.

Please note that neither the live chat nor email support can adjust, credit, or change evaluation or funded account balances. Just as it’s not possible to adjust one’s balances with a live broker, it won’t be possible to do the same with 4PropTrader.

All traders should take it upon themselves to learn to always be ready for any technical issues that may arise.
