Session Clock + Economic Calendar
The news warns you before it hits.
Every trader has been caught positioned when a red-folder number dropped, with the calendar sitting in another tab. Here it lives on the chart: the three sessions on one clock, today's US releases with impact and forecast, a countdown to the next one and a sound alert that rings BEFORE it prints. You'll never be surprised by a release again.
Sound alert: a beep at 5, 4, 3 and 2 minutes, then one every second in the last minute. You hear it even from another window.
Three sessions, one clock: Asia, Europe and US in 30-minute blocks, ET time with seconds; the current block glows.
Today's US calendar, on the chart: time, impact and forecast. Hover the clock and the list opens the whole day; in the last 5 minutes, the card shows the forecast and the previous value.
Hidden mode: set it in the Economic Calendar settings. The list hides and only comes back in the 5 minutes before the release, while the clock, the NEWS lane and the alert stay on.
Trading Journal
Where your discipline becomes a number.
Every trade lands in the journal by itself, from a real or simulated account, live or in replay. The Profit Calendar shows the month, the session P&L swing runs in real time, the statistics tell you whether your win rate pays for your payoff, and the Playbook catalogs every strategy with its result. No spreadsheet. Nothing to type.
Profit Calendar: every day with result, % of capital and number of trades; click and see the day's trades.
Real-time session P&L: the day's curve rebuilt from the ticks, open position included.
Real statistics: win rate with its implied breakeven, profit factor, drawdown, Kelly, streaks, best hour.
Goal and consistency rule: set the account goal and the prop's % and you get a ring with the progress, the max daily objective and the goal recomputed if your best day breaks it.
Withdrawals and Archive: a recorded withdrawal marks the day on the calendar and restarts the goal; an account that left the login stays in the Archive, with its full history.
Playbook: catalog your strategies, annotate each trade and see WR, profit factor and P&L per play.
Execution
Chart trading like you've never seen.
Clicking orders on the candle is the easy part. Here you manage the WHOLE trade on the chart: split your TP or SL into partials right on the chart order, adjust a pending order's OCO before it even fills, drag everything. Features no other platform gives you on the chart.
TP/SL partials on the order: split target or stop into partials right on the line, on the chart. No menu, no calculator.
OCO on pending orders: the pending order is born with TP and SL attached, and you adjust everything BEFORE the fill.
Full Chart Trading: Shift+click buys and Alt+click sells at the clicked price (limit or stop by the side of the price), live BID and ASK and Invert in a single order; drag it, and it changes at the broker.
Accounts by login, group and type: every Rithmic login in one picker, the ones in a position first with live P&L. Nothing leaks between accounts.
The account on the chart: the Account today block shows how much is left to the goal and how much you can still lose today, and each line sits at the exact price for your position.
◆ Anatomy · Chart Trading
Every button, every number, every setting.
The execution panel from the inside: what each part does and what changes when you're in a position, in profit, in a loss, with an order waiting or with the account locked. Switch the example and watch the panel follow.
Copy Trading
One execution, every account.
Repeating the same trade across 4 prop accounts by hand is begging to fumble at the worst moment. Turn Copy on: the master executes, the replicas follow at each account's scale, and every account's status stays on screen. One trade. Every account.
Master → replicas: trade once, the other accounts follow instantly.
Per-account scale: each replica with its own contract multiplier.
Each account's status: what each account copied, current position and divergences, live.
Per-account on/off: pause one replica without disarming the rest.
Twin orders: dragging, splitting or sending the Master's order to market takes each follower's order along.
Reconciler: resumed a follower or the connection dropped? Position and orders go back to matching the Master's on their own.
Real order flow
The market as it is, tick by tick.
The candle hides; the flow delivers: who is hitting, who is holding, where the big player came in and when the tape speeds up. Footprint, Volume Profile, Absorption, Speed of Tape, Big Trades, DOM and Times & Trades on pure Rithmic data, with the real aggressor side of every trade stored tick by tick on your disk. That's the reading that separates price followers from auction readers.
Bid × ask footprint: aggressor volume per price in every candle, with delta, volume, POC and value area. Works on Time, Seconds, Tick, Delta and Renko.
Volume Profile: session profile (full day, RTH or ETH), drawn-range profile or delta profile, with vPOC, VAH and VAL.
Big Trades: an ATAS-style sweep. Large orders are grouped and stamped at the price, sized by volume, colored by side, with the auction flagged.
Absorption + Speed of Tape: who held the aggression, block by block, in the holder's color; and the tape's pace in its own panel, with the real accelerations marked.
DOM + Times & Trades: ladder book with aggression, delta and traded volume per price, plus the aggressor tape with color rules by size. Live, per panel.
Footprint, tailored
Your footprint, your way, in one click.
The footprint opens ready to read: numbers colored by the diagonal, a framed candle and the delta as a profile next to it. Open the menu and the bar below the chart holds 13 ready-made versions, each with its caption on hover. On NQ and MNQ, the ticks come grouped per level, and the − and + in the corner change it instantly. Below, the Delta · Volume per bar pane opens with it.
13 versions, one click each: numbers only, bid × ask as a profile, Volume Profile and Delta Profile in the candle, box mode and more. Hover and the caption explains each one.
Ticks grouped per level: on NQ and MNQ, the footprint opens with 2 ticks per level so the whole candle fits on screen. The − and + in the corner change it instantly, from 1 to 50.
1 to 4 columns per bar: bid × ask, volume, delta or delta with total volume, as boxes or as a profile. The chart's columns make room by themselves.
Diagonal colors: the ask against the bid one level down and the bid against the ask one level up. The winner gets colored; an imbalance turns strong, bold and outlined.
Delta · Volume per bar: opens below the chart every time you enter the footprint. Each candle's delta sits on the heat ramp and its volume on the row beneath.
Default and templates: tweak it in the menu and save it as the default or as a named template, which becomes a button next to the 13 versions.
RiskGuard
The rule blocks before the order leaves.
Every trader has that day when they take themselves apart. RiskGuard exists for that day: max loss, contract cap, allowed hours, consecutive stops. The order that breaks the rule NEVER LEAVES. There's no warning to click past: it's a lock, immutable until 6:00 PM ET, on purpose.
A real block: outside the rule, the order doesn't leave. The platform holds it.
Allowed hours: trading windows in ET, with the badge showing "open from X to X".
Max loss & goal: each with optional auto-flatten.
Kill-switch: two clicks flatten everything and lock the account until 6:00 PM ET.
Lock lines on the chart: the rule's max loss and max gain feed the chart's daily loss limit and daily goal, at the exact price where the lock fires.
Consecutive stops: consecutive stops on the same side lock that side for a while, so you can't keep pushing against the trend.
Trade Replay
Relive the whole trade. Tick by tick.
Hit ► on any trade in the Journal and it comes back to life. The chart opens 2 seconds before the first entry and replays tick by tick until 2 seconds after the last contract, with every order at the exact instant and open and realized P/L updating live. Pick the speed, from 0.25× to 500×, and the chart type and timeframe, with your indicators on. It's the review professionals do, without screen recording or an editor.
► right from the Journal: every trade in the table opens in the replay with one click, in its own window, with the platform's chart and the toolbar you use.
Your speed: 12 speeds from 0.25× to 500×, pause anywhere, back to start; the timeline jumps to any point.
Any chart, mid-replay: TimeFrame, Seconds, Renko, Tick or Delta. Same picker as the normal chart, rebuilding up to the instant you are at.
Live numbers: open P/L, quantity, pending and realized P/L on every tick; entries and exits marked at the real price and time; mini or micro on the chart.
Market Replay
Relive the session. Tick by tick.
Any day that already happened runs again as if it were now: the real ticks, at the speed you choose, on the chart you use (time, tick, delta or renko), with real simulated execution. Two ways in: the scissors cut the chart where you click, or you pick a date and time. It's always the continuous contract, with the past ready from the cloud, and all it takes is a connected Rithmic account. Up to two symbols run on one clock, and every trade lands in the Trading Journal on the replayed date. Stop today, come back tomorrow, the history goes on.
Two ways in: ✂︎ Replay from here cuts the chart at the clicked point. Or pick date, ET time, Symbol 1 and 2. It's always the continuous contract (NQ, ES), with the past ready from the cloud.
Any chart, two symbols: time, seconds, tick, delta and renko; up to 2 symbols on the same clock (NQ + ES). Switch symbol and timeframe during the replay.
Fine control: candle by candle, tick by tick, one candle back, 11 speeds from 0.25× to 500× and a draggable timeline.
Trade and validate: only simulation accounts trade in replay, and every order lands in the Trading Journal on the replayed date. Re-trading a day you already traded asks whether to reset its trades. No 90-day limit: stop today, continue another day.
AI Assistant
Ask. The chart obeys.
A chat inside the platform that actually sees your charts: open panels, candles, volume profile, big trades, quote and today's calendar. So it answers on YOUR data instead of generic theory. Ask for an analysis and you get one. Ask for "the 15-minute EMA 200 on the 1-minute chart" and it shows up on the chart. Your key, your model: calls go straight from the app to the provider, and the conversation is saved only on your computer.
Adds indicators & drawings on request: VWAP with bands, EMA 9/21, grouped volume profile, support, fib, channel, on the chart you name.
It sees what you see: reads charts, candles on any timeframe, profile, big trades and the calendar before answering.
Your strategy as the rule: write it in plain text; the assistant analyzes by it and reads the data it mentions.
Your key, direct from the app: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or OpenRouter; never places orders; analysis, not investment advice.
Accounts
Every account. Each one in its place.
Evaluation, funded, approved, broken and simulation, from every Rithmic login, in one widget. Organize by login or by the group you create and set the goal with the consistency rule. When an evaluation hits its goal, it turns Approved on its own and you get a heads-up.
Type at a glance: Funded, Approved, Evaluation, Broken and Simulation, with a filter for each type on top.
By login or by group: organize by User (the login), by Type or by your own groups, with name and color.
Goal and consistency: goal in $ and the firm's rule right in the cell. The goal recomputes when your best day breaks the rule, with the $100 margin firms allow.
Drawdown, floor and limit: the drawdown, its type and the floor with how much you can still lose, plus the daily loss limit. An account that touches the floor turns Broken by itself.
Approval arrives on its own: an evaluation that hits its goal changes type right away, with the corner card and a sound.
New accounts at login: a new account opens the drawer to pick its type and rules, and it comes back at every login until it's complete.
With your GexBot key · NQ · MNQ · ES · MES
Gamma Levels: Call Wall, Put Wall and Zero Gamma on your chart.
Dealer hedging from four 0DTE chains (QQQ and NDX for NQ/MNQ, SPY and SPX for ES/MES), projected onto the futures price as lines behind the candles. Each level carries its name and strike rank. The GEX profile by strike comes out of the price scale, a trail shows how each level moved through the session, and a 5-minute confirmation separates a move from a flicker. One icon per chart. It turns on with your GexBot API key, at no extra cost on EliteXCharts.
Call Wall, Put Wall and Zero Gamma: from the 0DTE chains of QQQ and NDX (NQ/MNQ) and SPY and SPX (ES/MES), on the futures price and refreshed every 20 seconds. The current level runs from the price scale to the latest candle, with its name and strike rank above it.
GEX profile by strike: bars coming out of the price scale, up to 200 px. Green on calls, red on puts, the three largest stronger. The biggest bar is the wall.
Trail with confirmation: painted candle by candle as a thicker, faded line, stepping where the level changed (or one dot per minute, in the dots style). A new level only counts after holding for 5 whole minutes.
One icon per chart: turns it on for this panel, not the others. The legend and the icon share one state, so removing either one takes the other with it.
Candle types · TimeFrame · Renko · Tick · Delta
Four ways to close a candle. The same market.
By clock, by price, by count or by aggression: TimeFrame closes every minute, Renko every 44 ticks travelled, Tick every 500 trades and Delta when net aggression hits 200 contracts. All of them are born from the same ticks, and each one shows something the others hide. One click on the chart header switches; the + registers any size you want.
TimeFrame and Seconds: M1, M5, H1, D1… and S5 to S30. The candle closes by the clock, anchored to the CME session, so the opening one swallows thousands of contracts and the midday one hundreds.
Renko with wicks: 44 ticks per brick, closes by price, a reversal takes two bricks against. The wick keeps the path price took before closing.
Tick: 500 trades per bar. At the open they're born every few seconds; in the lull, once a minute. The time axis stretches and shrinks with activity.
Delta: closes when net aggression (market buys minus market sells) hits 200 contracts, up or down. The footer counter shows +143 / 200.
