Your Edmond Trader Funding Rithmic account

Edmond Trader Funding includes Rithmic and TradeSea access. Its platform instructions say both use the trading User ID and password supplied in Setup and Key. Use those credentials with PropFirmConnector to connect the Rithmic account to NinjaTrader 8.

Edmond allows traders to use their own licensed Rithmic-compatible platforms. These steps cover PropFirmConnector’s direct NinjaTrader connection and the option to keep separate Rithmic logins connected together.

In the Edmond dashboard, open Setup and Key and copy the trading User ID and password. Edmond also supplies account settings in its welcome email. These are the Rithmic trading credentials used by R|Trader Pro and TradeSea, not your Edmond website password.

Edmond Trader Funding Connection Guide to NinjaTrader 8

  1. Step 1 One-time activation

    Get your Edmond Trader Funding Rithmic login and activate the account

    In the Edmond dashboard, open Setup and Key and copy the trading User ID and password. Edmond also supplies account settings in its welcome email. These are the Rithmic trading credentials used by R|Trader Pro and TradeSea, not your Edmond website password. Sign in to R|Trader Pro on Rithmic Paper Trading with the Chicago gateway, accept any pending market-data agreements, and confirm your expected account appears. R|Trader Pro does not need to remain open for the direct PropFirmConnector setup.

  2. Step 2

    Install PropFirmConnector

    From your PropFirmConnector account, download PropFirmConnector.zip and close NinjaTrader completely. Extract the ZIP, then copy NinjaTrader.Custom-pfc.dll to My Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom. Start NinjaTrader again and, when your browser opens, click Activate this device.

    Configure Rithmic for Edmond Trader Funding

    In NinjaTrader Control Center, open Connections, then configure.

If your Edmond Trader Funding connection is not working

The Rithmic connection rejects my login.
Use the Rithmic trading credentials issued by Edmond Trader Funding, preserving capitalization and avoiding extra spaces. A website or TradeSea sign-in is not necessarily the Rithmic trading login. If only platform sign-in details are available, ask the firm for the underlying Rithmic credentials before continuing.
I cannot find Edmond Trader Funding in the System dropdown.
Choose Rithmic Paper Trading (Chicago). The firm name is the name you give your connection, not a required named System option.
The account or market data is missing.
Check that the active Edmond Trader Funding account appears in R|Trader Pro and that all required agreements are complete. If it is missing there too, ask the firm to check account provisioning. If it appears there, verify PropFirmConnector device activation, the saved credentials, and the System setting in NinjaTrader.

Edmond’s own plugin-mode instructions describe a different connection method. For the direct PropFirmConnector steps above, leave Plug-in mode off. Check any newly issued account settings in the welcome email before reusing an old connection.
