Setup and Connection Guide for Tradovate
>>>>>>>>READ ME FIRST<<<<<<<<
Rithmic Accounts CAN NOT be "converted" to Tradovate accounts - DO NOT send in Helpdesk Tickets asking for this to be done. You may trade both Rithmic and Tradovate accounts, but they can not be converted from one to the other. That goes for evaluation and PA accounts. You CAN NOT pass an evaluation using a Rithmic account and then chose to trade the resulting PA account with Tradovate, or vice-versa.
THERE WILL BE >>>> NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS <<<< GIVEN IF YOU RESET THE WRONG TRADOVATE ACCOUNT OR RESET THE SAME TRADOVATE ACCOUNT MULTIPLE TIMES BY "ACCIDENT" (OR ON PURPOSE). MAKE SURE!!!! YOU ARE RESETTING THE ACCOUNT YOU INTEND TO RESET. IF YOU RESET THE WRONG ACCOUNT, IT'S RESET. IT CAN'T BE UNDONE OR CREDITED. THIS IS NOT US BEING "MEAN" OR TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU, THIS IS US TELLING YOU TO P A Y A T T E N T I O N TO WHAT ACCOUNT YOU ARE RESETTING. BILLING WORKS DIFFERNTLY BETWEEN TRADOVATE AND RITHMIC.
