Import Rithmic Trades to Vigil

Rithmic is a high-performance order routing and market data technology used by many futures prop firms including Topstep, Apex, and others. It provides raw execution data.

Reviewed against current importer coverage on Apr 2, 2026. Rithmic exports can omit core columns like dates and can mix multiple accounts, so this guide stays noindex until the importer examples are more concrete.

What Job Is This Guide Actually Solving?

The job is not simply uploading a Rithmic file. The real job is turning raw executions into an audit-ready trade history without losing the fields that explain why a session passed or failed.

Rithmic already records the fills. This guide helps you verify whether the exported file keeps the timestamps, sizing, and P&L evidence that Vigil needs before you trust the audit layer.

What Rithmic Import Gives You

Rithmic records what happened. Vigil tells you what went wrong. Every imported trade gets checked against your prop firm rules: did you exceed daily loss? Did you hold through a restricted news window? Did your position size violate the drawdown math? The answers are in your execution data -- you just need something that reads it.

Parsing happens entirely in your browser. Your Rithmic file never touches a server. Rithmic exports are clean (5 columns), so the import is fast and rarely needs manual correction.

Who this import guide is for

Best for traders exporting directly from Rithmic and wanting to audit broker or platform history without manual trade entry.

What to verify after import

Broker exports can be messy around partial fills, commissions, duplicate headers, or signed quantities. The guide reduces that friction, but you still need to verify the parsed trades before saving.

--Export format reflected on this page: CSV
--5 common columns mapped from Rithmic
--3 documented quirks for this format
--4 concrete export steps listed

How should you evaluate this import?

- Does your Rithmic export preserve the exact fields Vigil needs, starting with Account, Symbol, Side, Qty?

- Can you verify one known trade row before saving so the importer is not guessing through missing timestamps?

- Do the quirks on this page match the file you are holding, or are you relying on a different export mode than the one this guide describes?

What evidence should survive the import?

- Direction, symbol, size, and realized P&L match the original Rithmic file after parsing.

- A valid trade timestamp survives import even if the source export leaves date handling messy.

- Partial fills, commissions, swap, or grouped executions are reviewed before you trust the imported totals.

How to Export from Rithmic

What usually breaks in Rithmic exports?

--Uses B/S for buy/sell side instead of full words.
--No date column in some exports -- manual column setup may be required.
--Multiple account IDs may appear in a single export.
--Broker exports often look clean until one edge case distorts the audit, especially around signed quantities, duplicate headers, or entry/exit pairing.

What should you check before trusting the import?

- Spot-check one winning trade and one losing trade before saving the import.

- Confirm the importer did not flatten a format-specific edge case into a generic row.

- Treat this page as a working guide, not a final authority, because the export shape is still too variable for confident indexing.
