Bulenox and order flow software: Rithmic Paper Trading, per its own docs

Documented rather than guessed

System names are not derivable from a firm's name. Some firms get their own, some share a general environment, and the two cases look identical from outside. Bulenox documents its own: Rithmic Paper Trading. That is worth stating because wrong system names circulate widely, and entering one produces a refusal indistinguishable from a bad password.

The name is shared with other firms, so it identifies the environment rather than the firm. What identifies the account is the credentials Bulenox issues, which are not the dashboard login.

Live data, simulated orders

Rithmic Paper Trading carries the real market feed and simulates order handling. For an order flow trader that is the important half: the bid and ask volume at each price, the depth of market and the trades with their aggressor side are the real ones, so a footprint chart or a liquidity heatmap built during an evaluation is reading the actual auction.

Historical bars and ticks come through the History plant and depend on the entitlements attached to the account. If replay or multi-day volume profiles matter to your routine, pull a few days early so that an entitlement refusal appears outside a trading session rather than during one.

Practical checks

• Use the Rithmic credentials issued by Bulenox, not the dashboard email and password.
• Expect one concurrent market-data session per login: close R | Trader Pro before connecting a charting platform.
• Verify drawdown, daily loss and consistency terms with the firm; a rule mirrored in software reflects what was entered, not what currently applies.
• Confirm in writing whether unattended automation is permitted before arming any strategy.
