The evaluation is documented, the funded account is not
For the evaluation phase the answer is clear and comes from the firm itself: the system name is Rithmic Paper Trading. That is a shared Rithmic environment, carrying live market data with simulated order handling, used by several firms for their evaluation products.
For the funded LIVE ELITE account there is no published system name. Not on the firm's site, not in Rithmic's public material. This page says so rather than filling the gap with a plausible-looking guess, because a wrong system name produces a login refusal that is indistinguishable from a wrong password, and the worst time to discover that is at the open of a first funded session.
What to do about it
- Ask Elite Trader Funding support for the exact system name for a funded account, in writing, before the account goes live.
- Enter it through a manual or custom Rithmic connection rather than waiting for a platform's firm picker to be updated.
- Keep the evaluation profile intact and build a second one, so a failed funded login does not cost you a working connection.
- Treat any system name found on a forum as unverified until the firm confirms it.
What the evaluation feed supports
On Rithmic Paper Trading the market data is live. Trades carry the aggressor side, depth of market is available, and historical bars and ticks can be pulled subject to the entitlements on the account. A footprint chart, a DOM ladder and a liquidity heatmap built during the evaluation are therefore reading the real auction, not a simulation of one.
As on every Rithmic login, one concurrent market-data session is allowed. If R | Trader Pro is connected, a charting platform will not hold the feed at the same time.
Rules belong to the firm
Drawdown, daily loss limits and consistency requirements are set and enforced by Elite Trader Funding, and they change. Software that mirrors them is a warning system, not an authority: it can tell you that you are close to a line as you understand it, and it can be wrong about where the line currently sits. Verify the current terms with the firm, and confirm separately whether unattended automation is allowed before arming any strategy.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the Rithmic system name for an Elite Trader Funding evaluation?
- Rithmic Paper Trading, per the firm's own connection guide. The market data on that system is live; only order handling is simulated.
- Why can't you just tell me the funded system name?
- Because it is not published and we have not measured it. Publishing a guess would be worse than publishing nothing: a wrong system name fails at login exactly like a wrong password, and you would spend a first funded session debugging the wrong thing. Elite Trader Funding support can give you the exact value.
