Can You Connect TopstepX to TradeZella?

Yes. TradeZella connects to TopstepX two ways: a CSV file you export from TopstepX and upload by hand, or an Auto Sync that runs on a TopstepX ProjectX API key, according to TradeZella's own TopstepX sync article.

How does the TopstepX CSV import into TradeZella work?

TradeZella's file upload guide for TopstepX lays out a short manual process. In TopstepX, open the Trades tab (not the Orders tab), pick a date range, and export. Save the file as a CSV. In TradeZella, open Add Trade, choose TopstepX as the broker, select the File Upload method, pick a timezone, and upload the file. TradeZella notes that exporting from the Orders tab instead of the Trades tab is a common reason an upload fails.

This path works account by account. Running several TopstepX accounts means repeating the export and upload for each one, and the data is only as current as your last export.

How does TradeZella's TopstepX Auto Sync work?

The same TradeZella article also documents an Auto Sync option. In Add Trade, choosing TopstepX and then Auto Sync asks for a TopstepX username and a ProjectX API key, which TopstepX issues through a ProjectX API subscription. Once connected, TradeZella states that trades begin syncing automatically, without a manual export step.

Auto Sync depends on holding that API subscription. A trader without one is limited to the CSV path above.

What does a CSV import leave out for a trader running more than one account?

A CSV export is a snapshot of whatever date range you selected. It does not update itself, it has to be re-exported to see new trades, and it arrives one account at a time. None of that is specific to TradeZella. It is simply how file-based import works for any journal, including Propfy's own CSV import for other brokers.

The part that matters more for a prop trader is what a file of individual fills does not carry: which fills belonged to the same trading decision. Many TopstepX traders mirror one setup across several accounts with the Trade Copier, so one decision can land as several separate fills once every account is imported. Our own guide on journaling copied TopstepX trades covers why counting each fill as its own trade inflates a trade count, and why keeping the decision and the per-account dollars as two separate records is the fix, whichever journal a trader uses.

How does Propfy's TopstepX connection work?

Propfy connects to TopstepX directly. Each trader links their own TopstepX account with their own API key, and trading activity syncs into one Propfy workspace rather than a per-account file.

Because every account lands in the same workspace, Propfy can track each account against its own firm-set limits (its own daily loss limit, its own trailing drawdown floor) instead of one aggregate number, and it groups a signal mirrored across several accounts into a single decision for behavioral stats like trades per day, while still keeping every account's real P&L separate and undeleted. That is the same decision-versus-dollars distinction our multi-account journaling guide describes, built into the connection itself rather than left for a trader to reconstruct by hand.

If you are moving from TradeZella and want your trade history to come with you, Propfy has a guide for importing a TradeZella CSV export.

TradeZella or Propfy for TopstepX accounts: which fits?

Both can get TopstepX data in. The honest difference is what happens with it once it's there.

TradeZella's TopstepX support sits inside a broker list of 500+ platforms, a large analytics and reporting library, and backtesting tools. If you trade TopstepX alongside other brokers and want the widest coverage and the deepest general analytics, that breadth is real and Propfy does not try to match it.

If your TopstepX activity is the whole picture, especially across more than one account or a mirrored setup, Propfy is built narrower and deeper on exactly that: per-account rule tracking against each firm's own limits, decision-based counts instead of fill counts, and account-lifecycle tracking across evaluation and funded stages.

FAQ

Does TradeZella's TopstepX Auto Sync cost anything extra?

TradeZella's article states that Auto Sync requires a TopstepX ProjectX API key, obtained through a ProjectX API subscription. Check TopstepX's own account settings for current subscription terms, since that detail sits with TopstepX, not TradeZella.

Can I bring my TradeZella trade history into Propfy?

Yes. Export your trades from TradeZella as a CSV and follow the import guide linked above.

Does Propfy support more than one TopstepX account?

Yes. Propfy is built around traders running multiple TopstepX accounts at once, including mirrored setups, with each account tracked against its own limits.
