I am curious if anyone trading algorithmically thinks its better to connect to rithmic using the plugin api to rtrader pro or to connect to rithmic direct via ninjatrader?
I had a disconnect last night on my VPS and when I woke up today i noticed that it did not reconnect itself until after I restarted rithmic manually, I am assuming that NT8 would have been able to reconnect if I wasn't using plugin mode.
I am trading with apex using the paper account system so this needs to be factored in also.
I am curious what the more experienced people think especially those using algos, since that would heavily influence the decision.
Do not bother with Rithmic. I had pretty bad experiences with their software/data and customer support. I would have orders just show up in my account (that I did not place) and I was not able to close them for 30 seconds. Other trader could not close them for 45 minutes. When I contacted them they blamed it on NinjaTrader software. I contacted NinjaTrader and they investigated it, and confirmed that the order just showed up in my account without a traceable route.
I have had NinjaTrader Brokerage for years, and they were always very responsive and helpful. I would just go with them.
On a side note: Be careful with Funding companies, most of them are fraud, and most of them use Rithmic. (I'll make a post on it)
Excellent platform. Ever-improving stability and capabilities are terrific. Congrats all around Ninjatrader!
However, the time has come in my opinion (and that of many others) to enable Ninjatrader users to trade through several simultaneous Rithmic connections and/or as several simultaneous CQG connections.
In my case in particular, I use a third party trade copying software to trade several funded accounts. This works fine because I log in with the same broker login.
However, I’d like to also keep trading my own live accounts (both with Ninjatrader Brokerage, as well as with other third party brokers). I have a NT Multibroker license, which I’m told is grandfathered into being able to trade more than one Rithmic account, but I’m also told by some folks in Ninjatrader Platform support that there’s a technical limitation to doing so.
In a world of increasing trader funding companies/opportunities/combines, it only makes sense to have Ninjatrader fast-track this feature/capability. Personally- I know every day I trade my funded accounts, I would like to also take simultaneous trades on my live Ninjatrader brokerage account.
When using Rithmic with NinjaTrader, does NT connect directly to the feed or can it be connected thru Rithmic Trader Pro? In the past, I was able to run MultiCharts and BookMap at the same time by connecting them to Rithmic Trader Pro and only needing to have one Rithmic feed. Does NinjaTrader support this?
