Key Points to Remember

• Weekend Downtime: Rithmic is not accessible during the weekend.
• Login on Sunday: Logins are enabled 30 minutes before the market opens on Sunday.
• Plan Accordingly: Ensure your trading activities are planned around this downtime.

Rithmic servers shut down every weekend as part of their scheduled maintenance window. This is not an outage. The servers go offline Friday evening after the market close and come back online Sunday evening, approximately 30 minutes before futures trading resumes.

If you cannot connect on a weekday during market hours, that would indicate an actual connectivity issue. Check your internet connection first, then contact support if the problem persists.

Weekend downtime is expected behavior. Rithmic disables logins while CME futures markets are closed to perform system maintenance. An actual Rithmic outage would occur during normal trading hours and would affect your ability to place or manage trades.

Elite Trader Funding monitors Rithmic connectivity and will notify users through the dashboard or email if an unexpected service interruption occurs during trading hours.
