Export Completed Orders from R | Trader as CSV (one day at a time), then upload the file in Rize Trade under Add Trades > File upload with broker set to Rithmic R Trader.
Rithmic imports are futures only. For the general import flow across all brokers, see How to import your trades.
Warning: One day per file. Rithmic only allows exporting one day's trades in each file. Export each trading day separately, then upload those files one by one to the same account.
Export from R | Trader
Pull Completed Orders for a single date, add the columns Rize Trade needs, then save the view as CSV.
- Open R | Trader, then go to File > Orders History.
- Choose the account and a specific date (one day only).
- In the Completed Orders section, right-click a column heading and select Add/Remove columns.
- Add these columns: Account, Status, Remarks, Buy/Sell, Qty To Fill, Symbol, Qty Filled, Avg Fill Price, Limit Price, Order Number, Create Time, Update Time, Commission.
- Click OK.
- Export the Completed Orders view as CSV.
- Upload that CSV in Rize Trade using the steps below. Repeat for each trading day you want in your journal.
Note: Rize Trade only reads the Completed Orders section of the export. It stops when it reaches Working Orders or Open Positions. A row is imported when its Qty Filled is above zero, so an order that was partly filled and then cancelled still brings in the part that traded. Rows with a rejected or failed Status are skipped. If the file has no Qty Filled column, only rows with a filled or completed Status are imported.
Columns Rize Trade expects
Keep the headers from your R | Trader export. Rize Trade matches columns by name and accepts the alternate headers listed below.
| Column | Required? | What Rize Trade uses it for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Status | Optional | Rejected or failed rows are skipped. Without a Qty Filled column, only filled or completed rows are imported. |
| Buy/Sell, Side, or B/S | Required (one of these) | Side of the fill. |
| Qty Filled, Fill Qty, or Filled Qty | Recommended | How many contracts actually filled. |
| Qty To Fill, Qty, or Quantity | Used when Qty Filled is missing | The order size. Only used for rows whose Status shows the order filled completely. |
| Symbol or Instrument | Required (one of these) | Futures symbol. |
| Avg Fill Price or Fill Price | Required (one of these) | Fill price. |
| Update Time, Fill Time, Date/Time, or Create Time | Required (one of these) | When the fill happened. Rows without a time are skipped. If the header carries a zone label, for example Update Time (EDT), Rize Trade reads the times in that zone. Otherwise it uses the Time zone you set on upload. |
| Commission | Optional | Commission on the fill when present in the export. |
| Commission Fill Rate | Optional | Used when Commission is blank. The fill's commission is the rate multiplied by the filled quantity. |
There is no separate missing-columns error for Rithmic. Rows that cannot be read are skipped. If nothing usable remains, you see No valid trades found in file.
Upload in Rize Trade
Import each day's CSV from Add Trades with Rithmic R Trader selected. For the general upload flow, see How to import your trades. Rithmic-specific settings:
- Set broker to Rithmic R Trader.
- Set Time zone to match the timestamps in your export. Required.
- No Date Format selector appears for Rithmic on the upload screen.
- Accepted file types: CSV or TXT. Max 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, fix Time zone and re-upload. See Why are my entries and exits on the wrong dates?.
If status stays on Queued or shows failed, see Import queued or something went wrong.
Why your import might be rejected
When something is off, Rize Trade shows a clear message. Rithmic-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.
No valid trades found in file
Message: No valid trades found in file.
Cause: The file had no rows that could be turned into fills. Common reasons: the file has no Completed Orders section, it holds only working or open orders, no row has a filled quantity, or every row was missing a side, symbol, price or time.
Fix: Export again from Completed Orders for a date that has filled trades. Keep the Status, side, quantity, symbol, price and time columns in the export, and upload that CSV.
Failed to read the Rithmic file
Message: starts with Failed to parse Rithmic file: followed by more detail.
Cause: The file structure could not be read as a Rithmic Completed Orders export.
Fix: Export a clean CSV from File > Orders History > Completed Orders for one day. Do not convert the file to an Excel-only workbook or rename the headers Rize Trade needs.
