How to Set Up Rithmic for Bulenox

Connect Rithmic to your Bulenox account and configure the platform for Bulenox's trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day) rules. This guide covers connection, verification, and recommended risk settings.

Connection Steps
1

Create your Bulenox account

Sign up at https://bulenox.com and purchase your evaluation. You will receive login credentials and a data feed connection string via email.

2

Download and install Rithmic

Download Rithmic from the official website. Run the installer and follow the setup wizard.

3

Add the data feed connection

Open Rithmic and navigate to Connections or Data Feed settings. Add a new connection using the server address, username, and password from Bulenox.

4

Log in and verify

Connect to the data feed and verify market data is streaming. Check that your account balance matches your Bulenox dashboard.

5

Configure risk settings

Set position size defaults, max order quantity, and any ATM strategies to prevent accidental oversizing that could breach Bulenox rules.

Recommended Settings for Bulenox
  • --Set a daily loss alert at 1.8% (80% of Bulenox's 2.2% limit) so you stop trading before the hard cap.
  • --Enable end-of-day position flattening if possible. Trailing drawdown resets at session close, so flat positions reduce overnight risk.
  • --Bulenox does NOT allow overnight holding. Set an auto-flatten or reminder 5 minutes before market close.
  • --Weekend holding is not allowed. Close all positions before the Friday session ends.
  • --Save your workspace template after configuring so you can restore it quickly if settings are lost.
