How TopstepX connects

CSV import from the Orders or Trades tab, with a dedicated TopstepX adapter.

File import

TopstepX CSV import

Export the Orders or Trades tab export (CSV) and import the original file without editing it in a spreadsheet first.

Exactly what is supported

The same facts we maintain for support, published instead of hidden. If something here is wrong, it is a bug.

What gets captured

  • Futures trades from the Orders or Trades tab export for the account and date range you select
  • The original export columns; Journalit expects the raw file, not a spreadsheet-edited copy

Account types

  • Practice and funded TopstepX accounts you can export from

Honest limitations

  • File import only; there is no direct TopstepX API sync
  • The TopstepX adapter depends on your plugin version; Manual Mapping is the fallback
  • TopstepX may change export columns over time; a fresh export is the first troubleshooting step

Your trade history stays on your computer

TopstepX activity becomes trade notes stored as plain files on your device, inside Obsidian, the free note-taking app Journalit runs on. Your thesis, tags, screenshots, reviews, and custom fields are never replaced by broker updates.

What stays local and what uses the network/All supported platforms

Trading a Topstep Combine or Express Funded account?

Importing your TopstepX trades is the first half. Set the account up as a prop challenge and Journalit tracks drawdown, consistency and payout progress against the trades you import. The current Topstep rules by account size, with Topstep's own sources, are on the Topstep rules page.

Before you import TopstepX trades

No. TopstepX support is file import: export the CSV from the Orders or Trades tab and import the original file into Journalit.

Select the correct account first, open the Orders or Trades tab at the bottom of TopstepX, click Export, choose the date range, and download the CSV. Do not rename columns or clean the file in a spreadsheet before importing.

Use Manual Mapping as the fallback. The adapter depends on your plugin version, and TopstepX may change export columns over time; a fresh export is the first troubleshooting step.

Yes. The export covers whichever TopstepX account you select before exporting, so practice and funded accounts are journalled the same way.

Yes. Journalit runs inside Obsidian, a free note-taking app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. That is what keeps your journal as plain files on your own device instead of rows in our database. If you have never used Obsidian, setup takes a few minutes: install the free app, then add the Journalit plugin.

Yes. Free includes journalling, analytics, reviews, and templates. Pro unlocks Trade Import and automatic trade sync. TopstepX uses Trade Import for CSV files; it is not an automated sync.
