Adding another account

Keep every real account separate. Add a new account for each broker or prop account and import into it.

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.


​

One account here per real account

Every broker, funded, or prop account you trade gets its own account in TradeDNA. That is what keeps each account's balance, P&L, stats, and drawdown honest, and it is how prop-firm rules get tracked against the right trades. Never import one account's statements into another account, even temporarily. Mixed trades skew every number on both sides and there is no clean undo.


​

Add the account first

Go to Settings, then Connections, and choose Add new account. Pick the broker, prop firm, or platform (search if needed), then choose the tab that fits:

  • Auto-sync if the broker or platform can connect. Live trades stream in on their own.

  • Import file if you will upload statements or CSVs. Name it after the real account, pick its currency, then drop the file or use Choose file. The account is created and the importer opens with the preview running.

  • Manual if you will enter trades by hand. Name it, pick its currency, and choose Add account.

If your broker is not listed, pick Other broker under Any broker to import a file or log trades by hand. Choose Cancel to close without adding anything. On a phone, the steps open one at a time in a full-height sheet with a Back button.


​

The name is yours, so make it recognizable, like Topstep 50K or FTMO 100K. Once the account exists, it shows up in the account switcher and as a destination in the importer.


​

Tracking a prop or funded account (Topstep, Apex, FTMO)

Topstep accounts can auto-sync, see Connecting TopstepX. For a prop account that cannot, tracking is still fully supported:

  1. Add it as its own account with Import file, as above. TopstepX trades reports import natively.

  2. On Playbooks, open My Plays and add a challenge for it. Pick your firm, challenge type, and account size, and TradeDNA tracks the real rule set: profit target, daily loss, and trailing drawdown.

  3. Import your statements into that account as you trade, and the challenge tracking stays current.

Choose the CSV platform

When you add a file account through Other broker, choose the Platform that produced the export, or Other when there is no matching choice. Then confirm the statement type from the actual file in the importer. For a table with Symbol, Quantity, Entry DT, Entry Price, Exit DT, Exit Price, ProfitLoss, use Generic CSV and the explicit signed-quantity option if positive means long and negative means short. Confirm the export timezone before importing. A prop firm's name or use of Rithmic does not by itself identify the CSV format or mean a live connection is available.


​

Import into the right account

When you upload a statement, the importer asks for the Account to import into at the top. Pick the account those trades actually belong to. If it is not in the list yet, use Add another account in Connections right below the selector, then come back and import.
