IMPORT YOUR TRADE HISTORY

Platform-specific import guides for brokers and journals. Each guide shows the export path, supported columns, and the quirks that matter before you run an audit on imported trades.

How to use this hub

Open the guide for the exact platform that produced your file. Similar-looking exports often differ just enough to break a naive import flow.

Use the detail page when you need export steps, field expectations, and the common edge cases before saving imported trades.

What import guides cannot promise

The goal is a clean, audit-ready trade history. That does not guarantee that every custom tag, comment, or platform-specific annotation transfers perfectly.

Review the parsed data before saving whenever your source uses custom columns, execution-level exports, or signed quantity conventions.
