TopstepX CSV Export Guide
Export TopstepX futures trades for Journalit from the Orders or Trades tab as CSV. This guide keeps the export focused on trade history instead of account summaries or unrelated reports.
Bottom line
Select the correct TopstepX account first, open the Orders or Trades tab at the bottom of the page, click Export, choose the desired date range, and download the CSV. Import the original file into Journalit without renaming columns or cleaning it in a spreadsheet first.
Overview
Futures-focused export
TopstepX is commonly used for futures trading and funded-account workflows.
Use Orders or Trades
Export from the Orders or Trades tab at the bottom of TopstepX, not from account, payout, or performance summaries.
CSV is the expected format
Download the CSV file and keep the original columns intact for Journalit import.
Account first, then date range
Select the account before exporting, then choose the desired date range in the export flow.
What Journalit expects
Keep the raw export
Do not edit the CSV before the first import. Spreadsheet tools can silently change timestamps, symbols, or number formatting.
