Import trades from Quantower

Import Quantower trades into Rize Trade by exporting a comma-separated trades CSV from the Quantower desktop app, then uploading it with the matching Date Format and Time zone.

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

Export your trades from Quantower

Export from the Quantower desktop app's Trade tab with all columns and comma separation so the file keeps the headers Rize Trade expects.

1. Open the Quantower desktop application.
2. Open the TRADES menu.
3. Set the date range for the trades you want to import.
4. Right-click the Trade tab and choose Export data.
5. Select all columns and comma separated format.
6. Click EXPORT FILE and save the CSV.

Warning: Export with all columns so the file includes Date/Time, Symbol, Side, Quantity, Price, and related fields such as Account, Symbol type, Fee, and Net P/L. Do not rename required headers.

Columns your file must include

Rize Trade reads these header names from the CSV (case does not matter). Keep them as Quantower exports them. Renaming or removing any required header blocks the import.

| Column | Required? | How Rize Trade uses it | | --- | --- | --- | | Date/Time | Required | Trade date and time in one column. DateTime, Date time or Time are also accepted. Invalid date or time values skip that row. | | Symbol | Required | Instrument symbol or ticker. | | Side | Required | Trade side. Buy values such as Buy become BUY and sell values such as Sell become SELL. Rows with a side Rize Trade does not recognise are skipped. | | Quantity | Required | Fill size. Qty is also accepted. Must be a non-zero number. Stored as a positive amount. | | Price | Required | Fill price. Must be numeric. | | Symbol type | Optional | Asset type. If the value contains crypto, the trade is stored as CRYPTO; if it contains future, as FUTURE; if it contains forex, as FOREX; if it contains stock or equit, as STOCK. When the column is missing or says something else, the asset type is worked out from the symbol. | | Fee | Optional | Fee on the fill. Fees or Commission are also accepted. When missing or blank, treated as 0. Stored as a positive amount. |

Each data row needs non-empty Date/Time, Symbol, Side, Quantity, and Price. Rows with a missing required value, an unreadable date or time, or a non-numeric quantity or price are skipped.

Upload the CSV in Rize Trade

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

• Set broker to Quantower.
• Set Time zone to match the timestamps in your Quantower export (required).
• Set Date Format to the pattern used in the Date/Time column. Quantower defaults to DD/MM/YYYY, so pick the pattern that matches your file so dates are not rejected or swapped. If the file itself proves the order (a day above 12), the file wins. If every day in the file is 12 or under, Rize Trade shows the first trade under each reading and asks you to choose.
• Accepted file types: CSV or TXT. Max 50 MB. For larger history, split the date range. See File too large, how to break up your import file.

After a successful upload, Rize Trade shows File uploaded! and Processing your trades..., then the import summary. Track status under Settings > Import History.

Tip: If dates look wrong after a successful import, fix the time zone or date format and re-upload. See Why are my entries and exits on the wrong dates?.

Fix Quantower import errors

Match the message you see, fix the file or settings, then upload again. For generic errors (file too large, wrong file type, empty file, missing account or time zone), see Fix any import problem. For queued or failed status badges, see Import queued or something went wrong.

Invalid Quantower file: Missing required columns

Message: Invalid Quantower file: Missing required columns

Cause: One or more required headers are missing: Date/Time (or Time), Symbol, Side, Quantity (or Qty), or Price.

Fix: Export again with all columns so those headers are present exactly as named. Do not rename columns in a spreadsheet before upload.

Wrong date format selected

Message: starts with Wrong date format selected. and shows an example date from your file.

Cause: No rows could be read with the Date Format you picked.

Fix: Go back, choose the Date Format that matches the example date, and upload again.

Mixed date formats

Message: The Date/Time column mixes day-first and month-first dates, so the trades cannot be dated safely. Re-export the file from Quantower and try again.

Cause: Some dates in the file can only be day-first and others can only be month-first, usually because the file was edited or joined from two exports.

Fix: Download a fresh export from Quantower and upload it without editing the dates.

Failed to parse Quantower file

Message: starts with Failed to parse Quantower file: followed by more detail.

Cause: The file structure could not be read end to end.

Fix: Download a fresh comma-separated CSV from Quantower desktop, keep required headers unchanged, pick Quantower with the correct Time zone and Date Format, then upload again.
