Rithmic Trader Pro™

Pros: At least I can close a trade here if my desktop crashes and I didn’t set a stop, which is almost never and absolutely never… Cons: Pretty much unusable. Certainly never going to place a trade from here unless the world is falling apart and I’m in the middle of Africa! I go online to look for a tutorial as none of the stuff is labeled in the app. Not even the website is formatted for mobile devices…which shouldn’t surprised you after looking at there app. Great charting by the way, might as well just have an option to turn those off as they’re completely worthless and you really could use the real estate when placing trades for real money. I don’t need to be hitting these tiny buttons when buying or selling and I certainly don’t need to go to a shopping cart to check out my contracts. I guess this is what we get when you higher someone who has never traded to design your UI.

This review is written from the perspective of a prop fund trader. I recently started a topstep account, and at this time they do not have any web based trading platforms available with rithmic data. I have a windows desktop, Mac laptop, and an iPhone, & this is why I prefer to trade through web-based platforms. Anyway, this app gives me the option to trade from my phone very easily. I only use this app to buy and sell. For charting I use my desktop at home or Mac on the go. When my alerts are triggered, I quickly buy or sell from this app. The only improvement I would suggest is an option to enlarge the window to full screen size. This app is relatively new and I’m sure there will be many updates. Definitely worth the download.

I like it, there’s some quirks and minor issues, like adding symbols (not all symbols on Linnsoft website work) and occasional disconnects when you switch from the app, but the connection itself is pretty quick. When I emailed them with an issue they got back to me within 10 minutes, and the issue was resolved. I do wish that there was more in-depth charting but I use 2 other apps for charting and switching between them isn’t too complicated, and I do enjoy the simplicity. I do wish there was a way to add more names like what is advertised on Linnsoft.
