Connecting your broker: sync or import

Two ways to get your trades in, and how to choose between them.

FTMO US and TradingView files

FTMO US offers TradingView through OANDA as well as MetaTrader 5. Choose the import format from the platform and file you actually use, not the prop firm's name. The TradingView import option supports the verified AMP futures full order-history export. FTMO US TradingView/OANDA order-history CSV files are not currently supported as complete trade imports: they do not link closing orders to the positions they close. An account-summary file contains totals and does not replace closed-trade records. Generic CSV requires a trade table with one trade per row; manually mapping an order history cannot supply missing position links. If you have this order-history file, contact support with your closed-trade records for review. Keep the existing account and uploaded file; do not delete the account, create another destination or keep repeating the same upload. A timezone choice or a different filename does not resolve this file's missing trade links.

Two ways to get your trades in

Everything starts on Settings, then Connections. There are two ways to get your trading history into TradeDNA, and most traders use both.


​

Auto-sync: hands-free, going forward

Auto-sync connects a supported broker or wallet with a read-only login, then keeps pulling your trades on its own. You set it up once and new trades appear without you lifting a finger.


​

Choose Add new account, pick your broker or platform (search if needed), and stay on the Auto-sync tab. Supported platforms today:

  • MetaTrader 5

  • ActTrader brokers, such as MagnoFX and HankoTrade

  • TradeLocker brokers

  • Tradovate and NinjaTrader

  • TopstepX

  • US brokerages, such as Robinhood, Fidelity and Interactive Brokers

  • Coinbase and Kraken

  • Hyperliquid

  • Lighter

Already connected? Those accounts sync on their own, so there is nothing to upload for them. A brand-new connection shows its first import in Connections while it runs, and its trades appear as they are saved.


​

Every connection is read-only. It can see your trades, never place them.

Import: bring your full history in

Some platforms only stream trades from the moment you connect. To bring in older history, export a statement or CSV from your broker, choose Add new account in Connections, pick your broker or platform, and choose the Import file tab. TradeDNA reads it, including commissions and fees, and turns it into a clean trade log.


​

Import is also the answer when your broker is not on the auto-sync list yet.


​

How to choose

  • Want new trades to appear on their own? Set up Auto-sync.

  • Want your past trades too? Import a statement, then connect auto-sync so everything stays in sync from here.

  • Broker not listed for auto-sync? Import a file, and tell us to add your broker (see Requesting a broker we do not support yet).

A note on plans

Auto-sync is included on every plan. The number of broker accounts you can connect at once depends on your plan, and you can raise it any time by changing plans in Settings.
