What it is
Liquid Brokers is Tessera’s deepest live integration: you can sync trades and account data with your DXtrade login, or import a statement CSV when you only need history. Live sync is the only path that can show a full balance curve including deposits and withdrawals.
What you can do
- Live sync with your Liquid username and password
- Import a DXtrade statement CSV (no API login required)
- Start with CSV, then add live credentials later on the same account lane
- See balance, equity, unrealized PnL, and cash transfers on live sync
How it works
Choose a method
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Live sync | Day-to-day updates, portfolio balance, and cash transfers |
| Statement CSV | Historical backfill, or connecting before you share live credentials |
Connect with live sync
- In Tessera, open the broker connect flow and choose Liquid Brokers.
- Enter your Liquid / DXtrade username and password.
- Connect, then run a sync so Tessera pulls trades and account metrics.
After a successful live sync you can refresh from the same account whenever you need updated trades and balances. See Broker data and sync for what live Liquid accounts show.
Export a statement CSV (optional / backfill)
- Sign in to your Liquid Brokers / DXtrade platform.
- Open your account statement (or statement export) for the account you want.
- Export the Statement file as CSV / text - Tessera expects the tab-separated statement with Open / Close / Financing style rows (not a custom spreadsheet).
- Note the timezone used on the statement times (you will enter this as an IANA zone in Tessera, e.g. `Europe/London`).
If your broker’s menus differ slightly, look for Statement or Account statement export rather than a fills-only report.
Import the CSV into Tessera
- Choose Liquid Brokers → file / CSV import.
- Enter your account code (the Liquid account identifier you trade under).
- Set statement timezone to the IANA zone that matches the times in the file.
- Optionally set asset classes you trade (FX, metal, commodity, etc.).
- Upload the statement file and import.
The first successful CSV import can create a CSV-only account placeholder. You can add live API credentials later without starting over.
After connect
- Live accounts: sync when you want fresh trades and balances; portfolio growth can include cash transfers.
- CSV accounts: re-import a new statement when you have more history. Growth stays trading PnL only until you add live sync - see Portfolio growth.
Limitations
- Statement CSV must be the DXtrade-style Statement export (tab-separated Open/Close rows), not an arbitrary spreadsheet.
- Statement timezone must be a valid IANA name; wrong zone shifts every trade timestamp.
- Full balance + transfers apply to live sync only - CSV-only Liquid accounts behave like other imports for growth charts.
- Requires an active subscription.
