Crux™ Help

Connect DXtrade

Sign in with your DXtrade login, where your firm allows it.

Crux only reads. It has no order-entry code and never places, changes or cancels a trade, or moves money. This platform has no read-only sign-in, so Crux keeps what you enter encrypted and uses it only to read your trades and balance. Disconnect at any time and it’s deleted.

DXtrade is the platform behind firms such as Tradeify 247. Crux signs in with the same login you trade with and reads your history through DXtrade’s own API.

How a connection works: your broker, you allow access (read-only where the broker offers it), Crux reads your fills about every 15 minutes, and they arrive in your journal. Crux never places, changes or cancels an order, or moves money.
What a connection does, and what Crux never does.

In Crux

  1. Choose Add broker or prop firm → Connect DXtrade.
  2. Enter the web address you sign in to DXtrade at, for example dx.tradeify247.co. Pasting the whole address from your browser is fine.
  3. Enter your DXtrade login and password.
  4. Choose Connect and import.

If Crux says your firm has switched the API off

Each firm decides whether its traders may use DXtrade’s API. If yours has turned it off, Crux can’t read the account directly. Export your history and import the file instead — and tell your firm you’d like it switched on.

What does Crux import from DXtrade?

Your completed orders, paired first in, first out into trades, and each account’s balance. Currency pairs are shown in lots. DXtrade’s history doesn’t include commissions or swaps, so P&L is before them. Something look wrong? Email support@cruxjournal.com and we’ll fix it quickly.

How are trades and P&L built?

DXtrade’s order history lists each filled leg but no P&L per trade, so Crux pairs the fills first in, first out, per account and instrument. Currency pairs are converted from units to lots (100,000 units to a standard lot), like every other source. Other instruments stay in units, priced one to one.

What isn’t in the history

P&L is in the instrument’s quote currency and converted where the conversion is exact, the same as for TradeLocker.

Is the web address safe to type in?

Crux only connects to a public HTTPS address. It won’t follow an address to a private network or an IP number, so a mistyped address simply fails rather than reaching something it shouldn’t. Your login is kept encrypted, used only to read, and deleted when you disconnect.

An example

You buy 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.0800 and sell it at 1.0820. DXtrade reports both legs in units; Crux shows 1 lot and $200 before costs, paired first in, first out.

Figures in the example are illustrative, to show the arithmetic. Your own come from your account.

If your firm’s address changes

Disconnect DXtrade under Profile and connect again with the new address. Trades already imported stay.
