R trader platform

After having NinjaTrader constantly freeze up on my computer for the last few months I have decided to hunt for a new platform.

I have questions for those of you that have used or are using Rithmics R trader.

Does it freeze up or have any glitches?

Is there a broker that can offer the Rithmic feed rather than zen-fire for a cheaper price?

Thanks

I can't comment on R Trader. But as far as a broker that uses Rithmic instead of Zen, try Optimus Futures.

Ok, well NT consistently freezes up on me.

Does R trader have the same issues?

I only need NT for DOM order window with bracket orders.

Have you had good luck with it?

Why do you choose to use R trader?

Also I'm saving $60 month not using NT right?

Do you use a zen-fire feed or the original "rithmic" feed?

Thanks

Hi!

I'm using R|Trader for a two months on zen-fire feed, and did not mention any significant freezes. No charts==nothing to freeze up Moreover, you can customize DOM refresh time to adjust CPU load. So I left all charting at NT and moved order entries to R|trader from NT because of NT freezing and serverside OCO features of R|Trader. There are simple brackets with multiple stops and multiple targets in R|Trader, and they are serverside, supported by Rithmic system. No trailing stops, no chasing and any other advanced ATM features as in NT. But R|Trader supports limit-if-touched and market-if-touched orders, which is quite useful sometimes. As to $60/month for NT, afaik now they are offering free type of license for NT allowing live trading without ATM, so you can switch to it.

Regards,
Leo

Mirus, and yes, I have both NT and R|trader fed from one zen-fire account, so when I place order in one platform I'm able to see and manage it in other. You should contact your broker to enable this.

These guys are unbeatable.

No need for an introducing broker skimming commissions. Just open an account directly with them.

They are rock solid and offer the Rithmic platform.
