# How to auto-sync trades from Tradovate to TradesViz trading journal?

## Quick Start

To auto-sync your Tradovate account, visit [https://tradesviz.com/import/](https://tradesviz.com/import/).
Use the first dropdown to choose your trading account, the second dropdown to choose **Tradovate**,
then switch to the **Auto-Sync** tab and follow the steps below.

You can also open Import/Export from your profile menu in the top-right corner.

## Auto-Sync Setup Instructions

This guide shows the current (new) way to connect Tradovate to TradesViz. **This works for both live and demo accounts**, including NinjaTrader Brokerage accounts that authenticate through Tradovate.

**Before continuing, please read the [auto-import basics](/blog/auto-import-trades).**

### **Quick setup (OAuth + account picker)**

1. In TradesViz, open Import/Export and choose your target trading account in Step 1.
2. Select **Tradovate** and click **Continue to Tradovate**.
3. Log in on Tradovate and approve read-only access.

4. Back on TradesViz, choose account(s) in the Tradovate picker in the last step:
   * First checked row links to your currently selected TradesViz account.
   * Additional checked rows can create new TradesViz accounts (subject to your account limit).
5. Click **Connect Selected**, then click **Sync**.

**Important:** You no longer need to manually copy/paste API codes or account IDs in this flow.

TradesViz only requests read-only permissions. We cannot place orders or move funds.

If a connection token expires later, use the one-click refresh link shown in the auto-sync connection card.

## Important Notes About Auto-Sync

- Auto-sync only brings in **recent / new trades going forward**. For older history, first do a one-time
  manual file import from the **Upload File** tab, then enable auto-sync.
- TradesViz uses **read-only** access wherever the broker supports it. We never request trading,
  transfer, or withdrawal permissions.
- Some brokers (OAuth-based) expire connections periodically and require you to reconnect.

## Troubleshooting

- If the connection fails, double-check API keys / OAuth login and that required permissions are granted.
- Make sure the trading account in TradesViz matches the asset class (stocks vs. futures vs. crypto).
- If sync stops bringing in new trades, reconnect the broker from the Auto-Sync connections page.

## Need Help?

Email [support@tradesviz.com](mailto:support@tradesviz.com) with your broker, the trading account name in
TradesViz, and a screenshot of the error.

If your broker is not yet supported for auto-sync, see our
[supported brokers list](https://tradesviz.com/brokers-list/) or contact support to request it.

## FAQ

### Why are old trades missing after I connected auto-sync?

Auto-sync only fetches recent history. Import a historical CSV/Excel file first from the **Upload File**
tab, then enable auto-sync for new trades going forward.

### How often does auto-sync run?

Connections are synced automatically on a recurring schedule (typically daily). You can also trigger a
manual sync from the Auto-Sync connections page.

### Is auto-sync safe? Can TradesViz trade on my account?

No. TradesViz requests read-only access whenever the broker supports it. We do not place trades or move
funds. For OAuth-based brokers, the consent screen will show exactly which scopes are granted.
