Import trades from DAS Trader

Import DAS Trader Pro trades by exporting a CSV from the Trades window, then uploading it in Rize Trade with a required Trade Date. DAS exports do not include dates, so Rize Trade combines the date you pick with each row's time.

If you route through a firm that uses DAS Trader Pro (for example Alliance or CenterPoint), still choose DAS Trader as the broker in Rize Trade for this file format.

For the general upload flow across brokers, see How to import your trades.

Export your trades from DAS Trader Pro

Build the export from the desktop Trades window with the columns Rize Trade needs, then save it as CSV.

  1. Log in to your DAS Trader Pro desktop platform.
  2. Open the Trades window. If it is hidden, use the top menu: Trade > Trades.
  3. Right-click the Trades window, then Config, then double-click Columns and add: Time, Symb, Side, Price, Qty, Route, Broker, Account, Type, Cloid.
  4. If you trade options, right-click the option chain window, then Config, then select Use Long Symbol.
  5. Right-click in the Trades window and export to CSV.

Tip: To include fees in the import, also add the EcnFees column before you export.

Upload the file in Rize Trade

After you have the CSV, import it from Add Trades with DAS Trader selected. For the general upload flow, see How to import your trades. DAS-specific settings:

  • Set Trade Date to the session date for the fills in the file. It is required. DAS exports don't include dates, so Rize Trade combines your selected date with each row's Time value. If your file does have a Date column, each row's own date is used and the picked date only fills rows where it is blank. If you skip the picker, upload is blocked with: Please select a trade date for DAS Trader imports.
  • Set Time zone to match the timestamps in your DAS export. Required.
  • There is no Date Format field for DAS Trader.
  • Accepted types: CSV or TXT. Max 50 MB.

Columns Rize Trade expects

Your file should include symbol, side, quantity, price and time so each fill can be read correctly.

Match the Integration Guide column set from DAS: Symb, Side, Qty, Price and Time (plus the other Config columns listed in the export steps).

| What Rize Trade needs | Accepted column names | | --- | --- | | Symbol | Symb or Symbol. Bkrsym is used only when the symbol cell is empty. | | Side | Side or B/S | | Quantity | Qty, Quantity, or Shares | | Price | Price | | Time | Time | | Event (optional) | Event. When present, only execute rows are imported. |

Sample expected values look like: MES,BUY,1,6847.50,13:30:34.

Headerless files

If the file has no header row, Rize Trade reads six columns in this order: Date, Time, Symbol, Qty, Price, Side. Prefer a headed export with the Config columns above so the mapping stays clear.

How side and execute rows are read

Side values map to buy or sell, and an Event column (when present) keeps only execute rows.

  • Buy: side values such as B, Buy, Bot or Cover.
  • Sell: side values such as S, Sell, SS or Short.
  • Other side values: rows with a side Rize Trade does not recognise are skipped.
  • Event column: if your file includes Event, only rows where the event is execute are imported. Other event rows are skipped.

When the import is rejected

When something is off, Rize Trade shows a clear message. DAS-specific rejections are below. For generic errors (file too large, wrong file type, empty file, missing account or time zone), see Fix any import problem.

Trade date missing

Symptom: Upload stops with Please select a trade date for DAS Trader imports, or a related message such as Trade date is required for DAS Trader imports.

Cause: DAS Trader Pro CSVs do not include trade dates, and no Trade Date was selected.

Fix: On the import screen, set Trade Date to the correct session date, then upload again.

Missing required columns

Symptom: Invalid DAS Trader file: Missing required columns (Symbol/Symb, Price, Qty/Shares).

Cause: The file is missing symbol, price or quantity columns under any accepted name.

Fix: In DAS, reopen Trades, then Config, then Columns, add Symb, Price and Qty (or Quantity/Shares), export again, and re-upload.

Missing the Time or Side column

Symptom: Invalid DAS Trader file: Missing the Time or Side column.

Cause: The file has no time column, no side column, or neither.

Fix: Add Time and Side in the Trades window column config, export a new CSV, and upload that file.

No valid trades found

Symptom: No valid trades found in the file.

Cause: Rows could not be turned into trades. For example, every row was filtered out (such as non-execute events), or values were empty or unusable.

Fix: Confirm the export includes real fills, that required columns are populated, and that an Event column (if present) includes execute rows. Export again from the Trades window and re-upload.

After a successful import

Check Settings > Import History for status, trade count and duplicates. If a job stays queued, fails or shows an error screen, follow Import queued or something went wrong.
