Import dialog with Topstep selected
Import dialog with Topstep selected
  1. In the Trade Log, select Add Trades, then select File Upload.
  2. Select Topstep.
  3. Drop the CSV file in the upload area or select it from your device.
  4. Review the preview and check the execution count, contract symbols, and commissions.
  5. Confirm the import.

No timezone selection appears. Each timestamp in the export carries its own UTC offset, so Tradeways converts it directly.

The Topstep trade ID is the duplicate key. An overlapping export is safe to upload again.

File Requirements

  • Use the trades_export CSV from TopstepX.
  • The file needs these columns: Id, ContractName, EnteredAt, ExitedAt, EntryPrice, ExitPrice, Fees, PnL, Size, and Type. A missing column blocks the file before the preview.
  • TradeDay, TradeDuration, and Commissions may be present. Tradeways ignores them.
  • Amounts are read as US dollars.

Supported Data

Each row is one round trip and becomes an entry and an exit execution. Futures contract symbols are preserved exactly and resolved to their root instrument, so MNQZ5 imports as a dated MNQ contract. Fees is the round-trip cost and is converted to a per-contract commission rate. PnL is kept for reconciliation against your statement.

Limitations

  • Round trips only. The export has no individual fills, so a scaled entry appears as one execution at the average price.
  • Open trades are not in the export. A position that is still open has no exit row and does not reach Tradeways.
  • One layout. Another Topstep export layout fails with a missing-column error. Export the trades list again instead of editing the header.
