Guide
Journal a futures trade from the fill, not from memory. Export the file the platform already has, then check the day against the statement.
Tradovate: Orders, and Performance if you have it. NinjaTrader 8: the Executions grid. Rithmic: R|Trader Order History, filled or completed rows. TopstepX: the trades CSV, or the optional read-only key. Sierra Chart: Trade Activity, rows whose type is Fill. Interactive Brokers: a Flex futures query. Each integration page has the steps.
If the file has a commission column, that number wins. If it does not, choose the fee preset on the account. The preview shows skipped rows. Nothing is stored until you confirm, and a confirmed batch can be undone.
Import the statement or the performance file on Reconcile. A tied day matches to the cent. An open day names the gap: missing fee, partial fill, or no statement at all. Write the note on the trade after you can see the fills in order.
No. A personal Tradovate or Interactive Brokers futures account uses the same import. The prop pages are only for rule numbers.
Try the file. If the columns are not recognized, the column mapper opens and the format stays Beta until we have checked a real export.
The guides are the bookkeeping. The journal is where a session gets tied.
