Which Brokers Does TradeNexa Support?
TradeNexa connects to a wide range of futures, forex, and equities brokers — automatic fill sync for the platforms prop and futures traders use most, and CSV/Excel import for everything else.
Native connections (fills sync automatically)
- Tradovate — connect via OAuth
- NinjaTrader — connect via OAuth; TradeNexa is an official NinjaTrader Ecosystem Vendor
- Rithmic — credential-based, stored encrypted, read-only access
- TradeLocker — credential-based, stored encrypted, read-only access
- DXtrade — credential-based, stored encrypted; supports prop-firm white-label servers (The5ers, FTMO, E8 Funding, FundingPips, or a custom domain)
- ProjectX (TopstepX & The Futures Desk) — connect with an API key generated in your firm’s dashboard; API access is a paid add-on billed by the firm ($14.50/mo Topstep members, $29/mo standard), not by TradeNexa
All native connections are read-only — TradeNexa never places or modifies trades on your behalf.
Every other broker — CSV / Excel import
Export your trade history and import it from Journal → Import. TradeNexa accepts CSV and Excel (.xlsx/.xls) files from most brokers and platforms, including:
- Equities/options: IBKR, Thinkorswim, Webull, Robinhood, Tastytrade, Schwab, TradeStation
- Forex/CFD: MT4, MT5, cTrader
- Trading platforms: Sierra Chart, Quantower
Raw execution exports (one buy/sell row per fill) are automatically paired into complete trades, P&L is calculated if your file doesn’t include it, and duplicate trades are detected and skipped.
How to connect a broker
Go to Settings → Broker Integrations and click Connect on the relevant card. Tradovate and NinjaTrader use OAuth. Rithmic, TradeLocker, and DXtrade ask for your login credentials (stored encrypted, read-only). ProjectX asks for an API key. Once connected, fills sync automatically every few minutes.
FAQ
How do I connect a DXtrade account?
Go to Settings → Broker Integrations → DXtrade, select your prop firm’s server (The5ers, FTMO, E8 Funding, FundingPips, or enter a custom domain), then enter your DXtrade username and password.
How do I connect TopstepX or The Futures Desk?
Generate an API key in your firm’s dashboard, then go to Settings → Broker Integrations → ProjectX, choose your firm, and enter your username and API key.
My broker isn’t on the native list — can I still use TradeNexa?
Yes. Export your trade history as a CSV or Excel file and import it from Journal → Import.
