YES

After purchasing a Tradentry evaluation, you receive your Rithmic credentials. These credentials can be used to connect your account on TradeSea, provided Tradentry is available in the TradeSea prop firm list.

๐Ÿ” How to Connect Your Tradentry Account

When you purchase an evaluation from Tradentry, you receive your Rithmic login credentials. On TradeSea, you can connect your trading account by selecting your prop firm and entering those Rithmic credentials.

  • Open TradeSea Web from your Mac using a supported browser such as Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
  • Go to the account connection area and select the supported prop firm list.
  • Select Tradentry when available, then enter your Rithmic username and password.
  • Choose the correct environment, such as simulation for evaluation accounts or live for live accounts.

Important: If Tradentry does not appear in the TradeSea prop firm list yet, the account may not be available for connection until the integration/listing is active.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile Option

TradeSea also offers a mobile experience for iOS and Android. This means that traders who are away from their desktop can still monitor markets, manage positions, and trade from supported mobile devices.

For iPad users, TradeSea notes that the web platform can be accessed through Safari if the app experience is not available or not suitable.

โœ… Final Answer

Yes, you can use macOS to trade with Tradentry through TradeSea Web. The old limitation mainly applies to Rithmic desktop applications, not to TradeSeaโ€™s browser-based platform.

For the best experience, use an updated browser and avoid VPNs when possible, as VPNs can affect latency, market data stability, and order execution quality.
