Connect and import trades from Rithmic

What this does

Connects a Rithmic account for automatic, read-only fill-history sync. A Completed Orders CSV from R|Trader or R|Trader Pro remains available as a fallback.

Rithmic is the routing platform rather than one broker brand. The same connection covers Rithmic-routed FCMs and prop firms, including Apex accounts that execute through Rithmic.

Automatic sync (API)

Enter your Rithmic username, password, and system in VEXA. The password is used to open the Rithmic connection and is never displayed back to you.

Rithmic Test is selectable today. Rithmic 01, Rithmic 04 Colo, and Rithmic Paper Trading are listed but disabled until Rithmic completes its conformance review for VEXA.

The connection is read-only. VEXA reads the account’s full fill history and turns those fills into journal trades; it cannot place, change, or cancel trades through Rithmic.

VEXA syncs fills:

• when you connect the account;
• when you choose Sync Now; and
• nightly.

Commission comes from the account’s Rithmic fee rate when the FCM provides one. When Rithmic does not provide a fee rate, VEXA shows commission as unknown instead of estimating it.

Connect your Rithmic account

Common connection errors

• Wrong password. Open the Rithmic account in VEXA and reconnect with the current password.
• System not yet enabled. Use Rithmic Test today. Rithmic 01, Rithmic 04 Colo, and Rithmic Paper Trading will become selectable after Rithmic’s conformance review.

Completed Orders CSV fallback

Use this route for a connection-free import or whenever you want to upload an exported range manually.

Before you start

• Use the Completed Orders view in Order History.
• Export the file as CSV from R|Trader or R|Trader Pro.
• Set the date range deliberately before exporting.
• Keep the CSV unchanged. Renaming the file is fine, but do not delete or rename its columns.

Upload steps

What VEXA imports

VEXA reads completed futures fills from the export and rebuilds them into journal trades. Open, cancelled, or rejected orders without completed fills are not trading executions and should not appear in the Completed Orders file.

The import follows the order-routing platform. If your FCM or prop firm uses Rithmic, use the Rithmic connection even when the account is branded by the firm rather than by Rithmic.

What you should see

The result panel should identify the file as Rithmic Order History and show the accepted and skipped row counts. Open one imported trade and compare its contract, side, quantity, execution price, and time with R|Trader before importing a large history.

If it doesn’t work

• The login is rejected. Reconnect the Rithmic account and enter the current password. VEXA never pre-fills a saved password.
• The system cannot be selected. Rithmic Test is available now; the other systems are pending Rithmic’s conformance review.
• The format is not recognized. Export Order History with the view filtered to Completed Orders, then upload the original CSV.
• No trades were imported. Check that the selected range contains completed fills rather than only working, cancelled, or rejected orders.
• Your firm is not named in VEXA. Choose Rithmic when that account routes through Rithmic. This includes supported prop-firm accounts such as Apex when they use the Rithmic route.
• A contract has the wrong P&L multiple. See How futures contracts are imported and report the unrecognized contract symbol rather than editing the trade by hand.
