Rithmic Trading Journal — Auto-Import Your Fills (Apex, Bulenox & More)

Rithmic is a low-latency execution platform that many prop firms use to route orders and store fill data. Because so many firms sit on top of it — Apex, Bulenox, TradeFundrr, Earn2Trade, and others — a single Rithmic connection often covers accounts across multiple firms. That is a meaningful convenience for a prop trader running several evaluations and funded accounts in parallel.

The practical upside is data quality. When your journal reads fills from Rithmic, the prices, times, and quantities are the broker's own records, not numbers you remembered to type after a fast session. Accurate fills are the foundation for accurate P&L and accurate drawdown tracking, which for prop traders is the difference between a journal you trust and one you second-guess.

A Rithmic connection reads your fills — each individual execution, with its instrument, side, price, quantity, and timestamp. On its own, a list of fills is hard to review, so the journal stitches them into round-trip trades: it matches the executions that opened a position with the ones that closed it and produces a single trade with an entry, an exit, a duration, and a realised P&L. That round-trip view is what you actually review, tag, and journal against.

From those round-trip trades, FundedNotes computes the rest of the picture: realised P&L per trade and per session, the colour-coded calendar, and the rolling win rate, profit factor, and expectancy. For prop accounts it also feeds the live distance-to-drawdown and daily loss room, so importing your Rithmic fills updates both your journal and your risk dashboard in one step.

The Rithmic connection is strictly read-only. FundedNotes never places, modifies, or cancels orders, and it never moves funds — the integration only reads your trade history. There is no path through the journal to your account's order entry or balances, which is what keeps it compatible with prop-firm rules around third-party access and means connecting an account can never affect a live or evaluation account.

Sync is also on demand, not automatic. There is no background polling and no scheduled refresh running against your account: you click "Sync & Read Trades" when you want fresh data, and the journal reads the fills that have happened since. You stay in control of when the connection is used, and between syncs nothing is touching your account at all.

In FundedNotes, add a new connection and choose Rithmic, then enter the Rithmic credentials and gateway your firm provides — Apex, Bulenox, and the others each publish the connection details for their Rithmic environment. Once connected, click "Sync & Read Trades" and your fills are read in, matched into round-trip trades, and added to your journal and risk dashboard. If you run more than one Rithmic-routed account, connect each and they roll up into a single portfolio view.

If a particular account is not on Rithmic, the same workflow exists for Tradovate, NinjaTrader, DXtrade, and Match-Trader, and CSV import covers anything else. The result is one journal that reads from wherever your trades actually live, read-only and on demand, so the review is about your trading rather than your data entry.
