It depends on who issued the Rithmic login. Accounts from TradeSea’s partner prop firms, such as Lucid, Tradeify, Alpha Funded or BluSky, use their firm’s System, which each firm’s guide lists. For Rithmic credentials issued on TradeSea’s own system, select tradesea for System in PropFirmConnector.
This guide covers how to connect TradeSea Rithmic accounts to NinjaTrader. PropFirmConnector is an independent third-party add-on and is not affiliated with or endorsed by TradeSea, NinjaTrader, or Rithmic.
TradeSea (tradesea.ai) is a web and mobile trading platform built on Rithmic. Prop firms including Lucid Trading, Tradeify, Alpha Funded, BluSky, EdgeProp, FundedSeat, FundYourEdge and Halcyon Trader Funding let traders use it with their Rithmic accounts.
Rithmic also runs a dedicated tradesea System, which PropFirmConnector lists. Use it only for credentials issued on that system; accounts from TradeSea’s partner firms keep their firm’s System in NinjaTrader 8.
The account belongs to your prop firm; TradeSea connects to it with the firm’s Rithmic credentials.
PropFirmConnector: Use your firm’s System from its connection guide, not tradesea.
NinjaTrader’s built-in Rithmic System list does not include tradesea.
PropFirmConnector: Select tradesea and sign in with those Rithmic credentials.
TradeSea itself signs in with Google, Apple or an emailed code, with no password; it connects to accounts with the Rithmic username and password your prop firm issues. Use those Rithmic credentials in PropFirmConnector, never your TradeSea sign-in.
Open TradeSea (opens in a new tab)Sign in to R|Trader Pro once with the Rithmic username and password from your account issuer and accept the Rithmic market-data agreements. TradeSea signs these agreements inside its own connect dialog, so a login already used on TradeSea may have them. The direct PropFirmConnector setup below does not require R|Trader Pro to stay open.
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.
