Rithmic allows one live session per set of credentials. Log in from a second machine and the first drops, so your session needs one stable home, not a laptop that sleeps or loses Wi-Fi.
Running two platforms on one login means R | Trader Pro stays open as the bridge all session. If its machine goes down, every connected platform goes down with it.

DOM ladders, footprint charts and heatmaps redraw on every tick. Current-generation single-core speed keeps them smooth through a volatile open.

Everything you need to know about our Rithmic VPS
Yes. It is a full Windows Server environment, so R | Trader Pro installs and runs exactly as it does on a desktop, along with any platform that connects through Rithmic, including NinjaTrader, Quantower, Bookmap, ATAS, Jigsaw, MotiveWave, MultiCharts and Sierra Chart.
Yes. Firms widely reported to run on Rithmic as of mid-2026 include Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, Bulenox and MyFundedFutures, and traders commonly run those accounts from a VPS. Rules are set by each firm, though, so confirm your firm’s current platform policy before your evaluation.
Two architectural reasons. Rithmic allows one live session per set of credentials, so a dropped or duplicated login costs you the session. And multi-platform setups require R | Trader Pro running continuously in Plugin Mode as the bridge. A VPS keeps both alive on data-center infrastructure instead of your home machine.
Yes, through Plugin Mode: launch R | Trader Pro first with plugins allowed, then connect platforms like NinjaTrader or Quantower through it, and leave R | Trader Pro running in the background. Our higher-tier plans have the cores and RAM to run the bridge plus multiple front ends comfortably.
We deliberately do not quote a single number, because advertised pings are network legs, not your order round-trip. Our Chicago hub is a short path from the Chicago and Aurora gateways Rithmic live accounts use. Run our latency checker from your own location, then verify from the VPS itself after deploying, and judge the measured result.
Honestly: a VPS removes the delays and disconnects your home setup adds, which keeps your session stable and your orders leaving on time. It cannot control slippage that comes from fast markets and thin liquidity at the exchange, and no provider can. Be skeptical of anyone who promises otherwise.
Yes. The VPS runs continuously whether or not you are connected, and you access it through secure Remote Desktop from Windows, macOS, iOS or Android anywhere in the world. Close the RDP window rather than logging out and everything keeps running.
