How to Set Up Rithmic for My Funded Futures
Connect Rithmic to your My Funded Futures account and configure the platform for My Funded Futures's trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day) rules. This guide covers connection, verification, and recommended risk settings.
This page is for traders who already chose My Funded Futures and need to translate the firm's rule model into a safer Rithmic workspace.
It matters most if you use templates, alerts, ATM strategies, or copied chart layouts that could accidentally ignore My Funded Futures's trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day) and daily-loss logic.
- --Confirm the account balance and server connection match the firm dashboard before assuming the platform is configured correctly.
- --Check that your default size, flattening rules, and alerts respect My Funded Futures's daily loss and holding restrictions.
- --Re-check the live rule page on the same day you trade, because platform setup can stay correct while the firm changes a policy window or restriction.

- --Set a daily loss alert at 2.0% (80% of My Funded Futures's 2.5% 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.
