Import Tradovate Trades to Vigil

Tradovate is a cloud-based futures trading platform with commission-free pricing tiers. It is commonly used with Apex Trader Funding and other futures prop firms.

Why Import Your Tradovate Trades?

Importing your Tradovate trade history into Vigil gives you access to AI-powered trade auditing that goes beyond basic journaling. Vigil analyzes your entries, exits, risk management, and behavioral patterns to surface the specific mistakes costing you money.

Unlike traditional journals that just store your trades, Vigil runs a structured audit against your trading data. It identifies rule violations, drawdown patterns, overtrading signals, and win-rate anomalies by session, instrument, and day of week. Every import is parsed entirely in your browser -- your trade data never leaves your device.

Whether you are running a prop firm evaluation or trading a personal account through Tradovate, importing your execution history lets Vigil audit your real performance instead of relying on manual entry.
