Quote only

Rithmic publishes no price list on its own site.

Their terms, as published: No prices for prop firms or institutions published; businesses are directed to contact Rithmic.¹

Prices change; confirm current terms with Rithmic before you sign. Currency as published.

03Launch and operations

Launch, payments, KYC, payouts and risk.

How Rithmic describes the operating side. Launch times are their claims, not measured times. “Not published” means we found nothing on their pages.

Launch time: Not published
Payments: Not published
KYC: Not published
Payouts: Not published
Risk and capital: Risk rules run server-side between the exchange and the trader's platform, so a disconnected trader is still subject to the firm's rules; auto-liquidated accounts are locked to Admin Only. The prop firm configures the rules; no statement on payout risk.²

04They say
