Multiple Apex rithmic accounts

[Pep de lou]

Hi! Is it possible to have 20 Apex Rithmic accounts on NT? I already have one Rithmic and I would like to know if I can buy more Rithmic accounts or I need to use Tradovate instead to use on one NT.

Hello Pep de lou,

Thank you very much for your post.

The Rithmic API does not support multiple connections. This means you can only connect to a single Rithmic-based login at a time.

If Apex can link all 20 accounts to the same login, you would have access to the accounts at the same time.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions about this!

Welcome to the forums!

The answer is yes, the NinjaTrader software,
as well as Apex, handle multiple Rithmic
trading accounts very easily.

Apex limits you to 20 PA accounts, but
my understanding is there is no limit to
the total number of eval accounts. You
can check with Apex to be sure.

To have more than one Apex eval acct
for Rithmic, you just login to Apex using
your same Apex login ID and you simply
purchase one more desired Rithmic eval
account(s) -- then you wait a few mins
and restart NinjaTrader and reconnect
to Apex, and poof! you'll see the additional
account(s) in the Accounts tab as well as
under the Accounts dropdown in Chart
Trader.

Easy peasy.

PS:
If you have more than one account, and
feel comfortable with your trading method,
this is where a trade copier comes in
handy. You setup the trade copier with
one acct as your leader account, and
designate all the remaining accounts
as followers, then any trade on the
leader is replicated to the followers.

Good luck!
