Platform & Getting Started
What platform do you use?
Onyx, powered by Rithmic data feed, is the free premium platform we provide to all traders. It is web-based, included at no cost with every account, and uses TradingView brokerage integration for fast fills and familiar charting.
Traders are also welcome to use R Trader Pro or any other Rithmic-approved third-party trading screen. Setup and platform fees for third-party platforms are the trader's responsibility.
PropEd Capital covers Rithmic data fees and Onyx access on behalf of all our traders.
How quickly can I get started?
| Plan Type | Timing |
|---|---|
| Instant Funded / TrueRisk Funded | Immediately after payment - the account activates automatically |
| Standard Eval / TrueRisk Eval | Within a few hours during business hours - no agreement required before activation |
On your first Onyx login you sign the CME real-time data agreements, then you are ready to trade.
