Rithmic is the data feed and order route that most futures prop firms run on — Apex, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, and Bulenox all connect through it. R|Trader Pro is the no-frills execution UI that ships with it: lightning fast, paper-thin on journaling. Here's how to import Rithmic fills into a journal that overlays them on the chart you traded, tracks the prop-firm rule headroom for each account, and records the session you took them in.
R|Trader Pro is built for one thing: route an order to the exchange as fast as possible. The DOM, the order entry, the position panel, the P&L tape — all tuned for execution latency, not reflection. That is exactly why prop firms route through it. But the "Statements" tab — the way R|Trader Pro shows you what you did — is a clearing record, not a journal:
Aurafy reads the standard R|Trader Pro account statement export — no Rithmic API connection, no credentials shared, nothing installed in R|Trader Pro. About three minutes:
Open R|Trader Pro → Statements (or the equivalent Account Statement window in your build). Select the account and date range. Right-click → Export to CSV (or save the PDF and re-export — CSV is preferred). The export includes account ID, symbol, side, qty, fill price, fill time (millisecond-precision), commission, exchange + clearing fees per fill, and net per round-turn where Rithmic has paired them.
Open app.aurafy.dev, go to Imports → Rithmic / R|Trader Pro, drag the file. Aurafy pairs fill rows into round-turn trades (FIFO matching by account + symbol), applies the correct tick value per contract (ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, CL, MCL, GC, MGC, ZB, 6E, MBT — 30+ presets), and computes net P&L using the commission + exchange + clearing values pulled directly from the Rithmic export.
Every Rithmic fill plots on the chart with entry / stop / exit arrows. R-multiples compute automatically from the stop you set. The first time you see a week of prop-firm scalps overlaid on the 1-minute, you'll see which setups actually paid and which were narrative — the kind of read the Rithmic statement quietly hides under a row of numbers.
It is normal for an active Rithmic trader to have an Apex 4.0 eval, an MFFU funded, and a TPT funded account all logged into the same R|Trader Pro login — different firm-issued account IDs sharing the platform. Export each account's statement separately; Aurafy keeps them isolated and applies the correct prop-firm preset per account ID. One platform, three rule sets, no leakage.
Almost every futures prop firm that isn't Topstep routes through Rithmic. Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, Bulenox, and Earn2Trade all support Rithmic (via R|Trader Pro directly, NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Quantower, MotiveWave, or TradingView-with-Rithmic). Aurafy tracks the rule mechanics that actually decide whether you keep the funded account:
Rithmic is the data feed and order route. R|Trader Pro is the execution UI. Aurafy is the journal that knows your $100K Apex 4.0 funded, your $50K MFFU Core, and your TPT scaling-plan account are all running through the same R|Trader Pro login but follow three different rule sets — and shows you the chart you were actually reading when you took the trade. Free tier covers the last 30 days of trades — no card, no trial-with-charge. Pro is $49/mo, or $19/mo locked for life as one of the first 50 founders.
Try Aurafy free → See pricingRithmic-side, most active traders are running three windows at once: R|Trader Pro for execution, a charting platform (NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Quantower, MotiveWave, TradingView) for analysis, and at most a screen recorder. They get confused with each other. Worth separating them honestly:
For prop-firm traders, where most blowups are behavioral (oversizing on a clean read, revenge-trading after a stopped trade, freezing on news), the screen recording is the only review layer that catches the failure mode. Aurafy's recorder is the only major journal that bundles it. Full breakdown of tape replay vs screen recording →
These work with or without an Aurafy account — single-page, no login, mobile-friendly. Preloaded with the exact tick values for the contracts you actually trade through Rithmic (ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, CL, MCL, GC, MGC, ZB, 6E, MBT, MET, and 18 more):
Apex 4.0 + MFFU + Topstep presets. Intraday + EOD trail modeled separately. See your exact floor and headroom on each Rithmic account.
Open →Drop in entry / exit / stop on any of 30+ futures contracts. Get ticks, points, gross + net P&L (after Rithmic commissions), $ risk, R-multiple.
Open →Prop-firm-aware sizing — checks both your risk-per-trade and the trail-DD floor. Tells you how many losses in a row to blow the account.
Open →Apex 4.0 30%, MFFU 40%, Topstep 50%. Drop in your daily P&L list — get max-allowed-best-day and the extra profit needed to qualify for payout.
Open →No. Aurafy reads the standard R|Trader Pro account statement CSV (or the matching CSV from your front-end platform if you're charting in NinjaTrader / Sierra Chart / Quantower / MotiveWave with Rithmic as the feed). No Rithmic API key, no credentials shared, no application installed in R|Trader Pro. The CSV-only model is intentional — it's the lowest-risk import path and works identically across every Rithmic-routed prop firm.
Yes — that's the primary use case for the Rithmic import. The five firms above all route through Rithmic to the exchange and all settle on R|Trader Pro statements (or equivalent platform-side CSVs). Aurafy's prop-firm rule tracking (trail-DD, DLL, consistency) is preset for Apex 4.0 and MFFU; TPT / Tradeify / Bulenox accounts use custom-rule presets you configure once per account. Topstep is the exception — they don't run on Rithmic, so for Topstep accounts use the NinjaTrader or Tradovate import path.
Each Rithmic account ID stays separate in Aurafy. You assign a firm + plan preset per account (Apex 4.0 100K, MFFU Core 50K, TPT 50K, etc.) once at import. After that, the trail-DD math, DLL math, and consistency math are computed independently per account. Importing the same R|Trader Pro statement covers all of them in one drag-and-drop.
FIFO matching per account per symbol. Rithmic fires every partial fill as its own line in the statement, so a 5-lot entry filled in three pieces (2 + 2 + 1) and exited in two (3 + 2) shows as five lines in the export. Aurafy collapses those into a single round-turn trade with a volume-weighted entry, volume-weighted exit, and aggregate commission. If you want per-fill granularity, the underlying data is preserved — you can expand any trade to see the fills.
Two valid paths and both work. (1) Export the platform-side CSV — see the NinjaTrader guide or Sierra Chart guide. (2) Export the R|Trader Pro statement, which contains the same fills on the Rithmic side. Use whichever is cleaner for your workflow; most multi-firm traders prefer the R|Trader Pro statement because it covers every account on the login in one export. Quantower and MotiveWave both expose a similar CSV trade export under their reports menu — those work too.
Yes. The R|Trader Pro statement breaks out per-fill commission + exchange + clearing fees, and Aurafy reads them directly rather than estimating from a table. That matters because Rithmic commission schedules vary per firm (Apex's structure is different from MFFU's, which is different from TPT's), so a generic "$1.50 per side" estimate is usually wrong. The statement values are authoritative.
Same statement format, same flow. R|Trader is the lighter UI bundled with some Rithmic data subscriptions; R|Trader Pro adds advanced order types and a fuller DOM. The Statements export is structurally identical between them, so the Aurafy import works regardless. (If you've been routed onto a custom Rithmic-skinned platform by your prop firm — some firms ship their own front-end — the statement export typically still matches; if not, the NinjaTrader or Sierra Chart import path is the fallback.)
Real free tier — last 30 days of trades, 1 account, 3 playbooks, no card. For a single Apex 4.0 eval or MFFU Core funded that you're actively running through R|Trader Pro, 30 days of history is enough to see whether rule tracking + chart overlay + screen recording is useful before you pay anything. No trial-with-charge — if you don't upgrade, nothing happens. Multi-firm traders who want all Rithmic accounts in one journal need Pro.
First 50 paying customers get $19/mo locked for life instead of $49/mo. After 50, the price goes to $49 for new signups, but existing $19 seats stay $19 forever. No upsell, no trial, no rate-rise clause. If you cancel and come back, the founder price is gone.
Screen recording is a Pro-tier feature. Free covers the journal, imports, and chart overlays but not the recorder. The next-closest stack for a Rithmic prop-firm trader (TradeZella + Loom or OBS) runs $49 + $15 = $64/mo and still doesn't link recordings to specific trades. The $19 founder seat is the cheapest path to the recording layer.
