The biggest friction point with any trading journal is getting your data in. You’ve been trading for months, you have hundreds or thousands of trades, and now you need to somehow get them into a new system.
Most tools make this painful: choose your broker from a dropdown, map your columns, fix the date format, deal with errors, retry. By the time you’ve imported one file, you’ve already lost 30 minutes and your motivation.
TraderDynamiq takes a fundamentally different approach: just upload your file. We figure out the rest.
How Auto-Detection Works
When you upload a CSV, XLSX, or JSON file, here’s what happens behind the scenes:
- Header scanning: The system reads your file’s column headers
- Definition matching: It compares those headers against our library of YAML broker definitions
- Scoring: Each definition gets a match score based on required and optional headers
- Best match: The highest-scoring definition (with a score ≥ 1.0) is selected
- Normalization: Your trades are transformed into a canonical format — symbols cleaned, sides mapped (BUY → LONG, SELL → SHORT), timestamps parsed and converted to UTC
- Deduplication: Each trade gets a deterministic hash so you can re-import without creating duplicates
- Analysis: Aggregates are computed and behavioral analysis runs automatically
The entire process takes seconds. No configuration. No column mapping. No format selection.
Supported Platforms
Crypto Exchanges
Only one thing separates the two halves of this table: whether a real trader’s export from that venue has actually been imported successfully. A parser existing is not the same as a parser proven, so we say which is which.
| Platform | Formats | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Binance | Spot, Futures, Income History | ✅ Verified on real trader files |
| Bybit | Closed PnL, Trade History, Executions | ✅ Verified on real trader files |
| TradingView | Order History | ✅ Verified on real trader files |
| OKX | Fills, Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| Coinbase | Fills Report, Transaction History | Generic CSV path |
| Kraken | Trades History | Generic CSV path |
| KuCoin | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| Bitget | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| Gate.io | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| MEXC | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| Phemex | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| Deribit | Trades, Options & Futures | Generic CSV path |
| dYdX | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
| Hyperliquid | Trade History | Generic CSV path |
“Generic CSV path” means we have written the definition against that exchange’s documented export and have not yet confirmed it on a live trader’s file. Your export still imports today as long as it carries symbol, side, price, quantity, fee and timestamp — that path is the most-used on the platform. Send us a sample and we will confirm the dedicated parser.
Plus: Generic CSV Fallback
TraderDynamiq is crypto-only — it does not parse stock, forex or futures broker reports. If your exchange isn’t specifically listed, the generic fallback parser handles any well-structured CSV with recognizable columns (timestamp, symbol, side, quantity, price).
API Sync
Two connectors run against live accounts today. If you would rather not export a CSV every week, these keep themselves current:

- Binance — Futures trade history (anchor harvest engine, 6 workers)
- Bybit — V5 API execution history
Every other exchange is CSV for now. We would rather ship two connectors that work than list thirteen and let you discover which ones do.
API connections use read-only permissions only. TraderDynamiq never requests trading or withdrawal access.
Why Auto-Detection Matters for SEO
Actually, let’s talk about why this matters for you as a trader:
1. Zero Friction Onboarding
The #1 reason traders abandon new tools is setup friction. If importing your trades takes 45 minutes of column mapping and error fixing, most people quit before they see any value.
Auto-detection means your first import takes under 30 seconds. Upload a file, see your results. The value is immediate.
2. Multi-Broker Support
Many traders use multiple platforms — spot on Binance, perps on Bybit, options on Deribit. Binance, Bybit and TradingView are verified on real trader files and everything else reads through the generic CSV path, so every crypto venue you trade ends up in one place.
3. Safe Re-Imports
Every trade gets a deterministic unique hash: sha256(account_id|symbol|ts_close|side|qty|net|entry_price|exit_price). This means you can re-upload the same file and it won’t create duplicates. You can also import overlapping date ranges without worry.
4. Format Feedback
If a file can’t be detected, the system tells you what went wrong: which headers it found, what it was expecting, and suggests downloading a CSV template. You’re never stuck with a cryptic error message.
How to Import Your Trades
Method 1: CSV Upload (All Supported Exchanges)
- Export your trade history from your broker as CSV or XLSX
- Go to Imports in TraderDynamiq
- Drop your file in the upload area
- Wait 2-5 seconds for processing
- Done — your trades are normalized and ready for analysis
Method 2: API Sync (Binance and Bybit)
- Go to Settings → API Keys
- Enter your read-only API credentials
- TraderDynamiq syncs your trade history automatically
- New trades are pulled in on a schedule
Method 3: Multi-File Import
Trading across multiple brokers? Upload multiple files in sequence. Each one is independently detected and normalized. Your entire trading history — across all platforms — ends up in one unified view.
What Happens After Import
Once your trades are imported, TraderDynamiq immediately:
- Computes aggregates — daily, hourly, and per-symbol statistics
- Runs behavioral detectors — 28+ patterns scanned automatically
- Generates verdicts — ranked leaks and strengths with dollar impact
- Builds your dashboard — equity curve, P&L summary, activity map
You go from “I have a CSV file” to “I know exactly what’s costing me money” in under a minute.
Don’t See Your Broker?
We’re constantly adding new formats. If your broker isn’t listed:
- Upload your CSV anyway — the generic parser may handle it
- If it doesn’t work, the error message includes your file’s headers
- Contact [email protected] with your broker name and a sample file
- New broker definitions are typically added within days (it’s a 30-line YAML file, not a code change)
Want to see the same analysis run on your own trade history? Analyse your trades free — drop your Binance, Bybit or TradingView export and get your own repeating patterns ranked by measured P&L. No account, no email, no card, and your file is never stored. Not ready to upload? Read a real report first.
