Dashboard – Connection Credentials

In this section you’ll find the login credentials required to connect your trading platform (Bookmap, ATAS, Quantower, NinjaTrader, etc.) to the program’s trading environment via Rithmic.


🔒 What are Connection Credentials?

Each trading account is issued a unique Rithmic Username and Password. These allow you to:

  • Connect to live market data (Level 1 by default; Level 2 if subscribed)
  • Place and manage trades on your Evaluation or Funded account
  • Authenticate your platform to the correct Rithmic environment
📌 Credentials are auto-generated at activation, are account-specific, and must not be shared.

Where to Find Your Credentials

Go to Dashboard → Connection Credentials. You’ll see a table similar to this:

Account Platform Username Password Actions
EDGE50K-001 (Evaluation) Rithmic hidden••• auto-generated•••
EDGEPA-1023 (Funded) Rithmic hidden••• auto-generated•••

Usernames are masked in the UI; use the copy buttons to paste into your platform.


How to Use Them

  1. Open your preferred platform (Bookmap, ATAS, Quantower, NinjaTrader, etc.).
  2. Select Rithmic as the connection/data feed.
  3. Paste the Username and Password from the dashboard.
  4. Select the correct server:
    • Rithmic Paper Trading for evaluation/sim environments
    • Rithmic Pro for funded/pro environments (as instructed)
  5. Connect and verify that quotes update in real time and orders route correctly.

🔐 Notes & Recommendations

  • Each account has its own credentials; multiple accounts = multiple logins.
  • Credentials work only with Rithmic-compatible platforms.
  • If login fails, check:
    • Account status is Active
    • Market Data subscription is enabled/paid
    • Correct Rithmic server selected (Paper vs Pro)
  • For Level 2 (Depth of Market), ensure the DOM addon is active in your dashboard.
