Manual CSV Import as a Fallback

Auto-import is the recommended way to get your trades into Frequency Tracker, but you can also import a CSV file manually — useful if you're troubleshooting, migrating historical data, or just prefer not to run the addon.

How to import manually

  1. In Frequency Tracker, go to the Import panel (or Settings, depending on where you're importing from).
  2. Choose Import CSV.
  3. Select your file.
  4. Frequency Tracker will process it the same way it processes an auto-imported file — building trades, checking for duplicates, and grouping copied trades across accounts.

Where to get a CSV to import

The most reliable source is a file generated by the Frequency Tracker Exporter addon itself — even if you're not using it for live auto-import, you can still use it to manually export a CSV on demand from its control panel.

A word of caution on exporting directly from NinjaTrader's own built-in grid/export tools: these can produce CSVs with a different internal format (for example, commission values formatted with a dollar sign, or account/ID fields structured differently) that may not import correctly. If you have a file that isn't importing and you're not sure why, check how it was generated first.

Migrating from Tradervue

If you're moving your trade history over from Tradervue, there's a dedicated import option under Settings for that specific format — see the Tradervue-formatted CSV export from your Tradervue account and use that importer rather than the general CSV import.
