How to journal your The Trading Pit account with MAV
The Trading Pit 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 The Trading Pit runs on, a summary of its published rules and what MAV tracks for the account.
How your The Trading Pit trades get into MAV
Auto-sync with your Tradovate login
Connect the Tradovate login The Trading Pit 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. 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 The Trading Pit 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.

Questions
›Does MAV sync my The Trading Pit account automatically?
If your The Trading Pit 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 The Trading Pit 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 The Trading Pit’s rules?
MAV’s public rulebook describes 10 The Trading Pit plans across 3 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 The Trading Pit 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 The Trading Pit?
No. MAV by Market Mavericks is an independent journaling and analytics tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with The Trading Pit; the firm’s name is used only to identify whose accounts this guide is about.
