Trading on Rithmic? Here is how to get your trades into the MyTradeEdge journal today, and what the importer can and cannot do. We would rather you know the limits before you upload than find a wrong P&L later.

What the importer reads

The MyTradeEdge journal imports closed trades from a CSV file. Each row must be one finished trade, with at least three columns:

  • Symbol (for example NQ or MNQ)
  • P&L in dollars for that trade
  • Date the trade closed

Side, entry and exit price, quantity and commission are read too when the file has them. If the column names are not recognised, the importer asks you to map them by hand. Up to 499 trades are read per file, and a trade with the same date, symbol and P&L is not imported twice.

There is no direct Rithmic or Tradovate sync. You upload a file.

Method 1: NinjaTrader 8 trade export (recommended for Rithmic accounts)

If you trade your Rithmic account through NinjaTrader 8, export the Trades list from NinjaTrader’s trade performance report as CSV. That export has one row per closed trade with instrument, market position, quantity, entry and exit price, exit time, profit and commission, and the MyTradeEdge importer maps those columns automatically. The P&L comes from NinjaTrader’s Profit column, so it is already in dollars.

  1. Export the Trades list from NinjaTrader 8 as CSV.
  2. Open app.mytradeedge.com and use the CSV import in the journal.
  3. Upload the file, check the preview, then import.

Method 2: your own CSV of closed trades

If you trade in R|Trader Pro, do not upload the Order History export as it is. That report lists orders and fills, not finished trades, and it has no P&L column, so the importer cannot build trades from it. Instead, prepare a CSV with one row per closed trade and these columns: Symbol, Side, Qty, Entry price, Exit price, P&L, Date. Put the P&L in dollars after the contract multiplier (for NQ, 1 point is $20 per contract; for MNQ, $2).

Why the P&L column matters: if a file has entry and exit prices but no P&L, the importer uses the price difference in points as the P&L, without the contract multiplier or quantity. A 10-point NQ win would show as $10 instead of $200. Always include the dollar P&L.

Method 3: manual entry

  1. Click + Add Trade.
  2. Select your account.
  3. Fill in symbol, side, entry and exit price, time, quantity and P&L.
  4. Add notes, screenshots and the setup name.
  5. Save.

Tips

  • Import daily, so trades do not pile up past the 499-row limit of one file.
  • Check the first import against your platform’s daily P&L before you trust the statistics.
  • Tag your setups with consistent names, so analytics can show which setups make money.
