How to journal your Phidias account with MAV
Phidias issues a Tradovate login on some accounts and a Rithmic login on others. Which one you hold decides the path below. This guide covers how those trades get into MAV, the platforms Phidias runs on, a summary of its published rules and what MAV tracks for the account.
How your Phidias trades get into MAV
Auto-sync with your Tradovate login
Connect the Tradovate login Phidias issued, once, with one-click OAuth. The connection is read-only: every fill files itself into your journal and the account’s balance is read from Tradovate on its own. Trades you place from NinjaTrader or TradingView on that login come through the same connection. For days before you connected, import Tradovate’s Performance export as a CSV — it uses the same trade ids as the sync, so nothing is counted twice.
Import from R|Trader Pro (Rithmic)
If your Phidias account has a Rithmic login, there is no live Rithmic connection in MAV today, so trades come in as a CSV export from R|Trader Pro.
- 1Open R|Trader Pro and go to Order History.
- 2Pick one day at a time and export it.
- 3Drop the files into the importer in MAV.
Or import from NinjaTrader

Questions
›Does MAV sync my Phidias account automatically?
If your Phidias account has a Tradovate login, yes: connect it once and fills file themselves, read-only. If it has a Rithmic login, not today — those trades come in as a CSV export from R|Trader Pro. Auto-sync is part of MAV’s paid plans.
›How do I import Phidias trades from a CSV?
From Rithmic: 1. Open R|Trader Pro and go to Order History. 2. Pick one day at a time and export it. 3. Drop the files into the importer in MAV.
›Does MAV know Phidias’ rules?
MAV’s public rulebook describes 21 Phidias plans across 4 programs, each with its source and the date it was checked (most recently October 6, 2026). Add your account to The Stack and pick your plan: the rules prefill, and you can edit any rule that differs from your own terms. Firms change rules often, so your agreement with the firm is always the authority.
›Can MAV place trades or change anything on my Phidias account?
No. A Tradovate connection is a one-way read of your fills and a CSV is a file you upload, so MAV never places, cancels or modifies an order, holds no funds, and cannot lock you out of your platform or your firm’s account.
›Is MAV affiliated with Phidias?
No. MAV by Market Mavericks is an independent journaling and analytics tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Phidias; the firm’s name is used only to identify whose accounts this guide is about.
