Export closed (and optionally open) positions from Match-Trader as HTML, then upload them in Rize Trade under Add Trades > File upload with broker set to Match Trader. Match Trader imports support forex, futures and crypto.
For the shared upload flow across brokers, see How to import your trades.
Export closed positions from Match-Trader
Start with a closed-positions HTML export. Upload that file before any open-positions file.
- Log in to Match-Trader.
- Open the Closed positions tab.
- Set the date range for the trades you want.
- Click the download icon and choose HTML.
Tip: Match Trader is HTML only. Do not convert the export to another format before you upload.
Export open positions (optional)
After your closed-positions file is uploaded, add open positions the same way from the Open tab.
- In Match-Trader, open the Open tab.
- Set the date range.
- Click the download icon and choose HTML.
- Upload that HTML file to the same account in Rize Trade.
Upload in Rize Trade
Import the HTML from Add Trades with Match Trader selected. For the general upload flow, see How to import your trades. Match Trader-specific settings:
- Set broker to Match Trader.
- Set Time zone to match the timestamps in your export. This field is required. There is no date format selector for Match Trader.
- Set File Currency to the currency of the account in the file. This field is required.
- Accepted type: HTML only. Maximum size 50 MB.
After upload, open Settings > Import History to confirm status, trade count and duplicates. Full walkthrough: View Import History Logs.
Tip: If times look shifted after a successful import, pick the time zone that matches the file and re-upload. See Why are my entries and exits on the wrong dates?.
Headers Rize Trade expects
Your HTML export needs these headers so each row becomes a trade.
| Header | Required? | How Rize Trade uses it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Symbol | Required | Instrument symbol for the trade. |
| Open time | Required | Entry date and time (for example 19.02.2025 04:44:10). |
| Volume | Required | Trade size. |
| Side | Required | Direction of the position. BUY is read as a buy; any other value as a sell. |
| Open price | Required | Entry price. |
| Close time | Optional | Exit date and time. Without it, only the entry is recorded. |
| Close Price | Optional | Exit price. |
| Commission | Optional | Total commission on the row. Split evenly across entry and exit. Treated as 0 when blank. |
Each row with a close time is one full trade: entry plus exit. Commission is split half on the entry and half on the exit.
Why your import might be rejected
When something is off, Rize Trade shows a clear message. Match Trader-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. For status while an import is running, see Import queued or something went wrong.
Could not find Closed positions header
Message: Could not find Closed positions header in MatchTrader file.
Cause: The HTML is missing the closed-positions section header Rize Trade looks for.
Fix: Export again from the Closed positions tab as HTML, keep the original layout, and upload that file first.
Could not parse headers
Message: Could not parse headers in MatchTrader file.
Cause: The header row was found but no header cells could be read from it, usually because the table was edited or rebuilt.
Fix: Download a fresh HTML export from Match-Trader without editing the table headers, then upload again.
No valid trades found in file
Message: No valid trades found in file.
Cause: Headers were found, but no rows could be turned into trades. This also happens when a required header (Symbol, Open time, Volume, Side, Open price) is missing or renamed.
Fix: Export a date range that includes positions, confirm each row has symbol, open time, volume, side and open price, then upload the new HTML.
Failed to parse MatchTrader file
Message: starts with Failed to parse MatchTrader file: followed by more detail.
Cause: The file structure could not be read as a Match-Trader HTML positions export.
Fix: Export a clean HTML file from Match-Trader again (not a converted or heavily edited file), set broker to Match Trader, and upload.
