Import TradeZella Trades to Vigil

TradeZella is a newer trade journaling app focused on visual trade review and pattern recognition. It automatically imports trades from supported brokers and provides performance dashboards.

Reviewed against current importer coverage on Apr 2, 2026. TradeZella lets users choose export columns, so this guide stays noindex until the importer coverage and examples are richer.

What Job Is This Guide Actually Solving?

The job is not just moving a TradeZella export into another dashboard. The job is preserving enough execution detail that you can audit old trades, verify risk decisions, and trust the imported history after the first pass.

TradeZella already stores the trades. This guide helps you verify whether the exported history keeps the fields Vigil needs for behavioral audit, rule checks, and clean historical review.

What TradeZella Import Gives You

Your TradeZella history already has the trades. What it does not have is a second opinion. Vigil runs every imported trade through an AI audit that checks entries, exits, position sizing, and timing against your prop firm rules -- then tells you exactly which trades would have blown your account.

Parsing happens entirely in your browser. Your TradeZella file never touches a server. TradeZella exports are clean (7 columns), so the import is fast and rarely needs manual correction.

Who this import guide is for

Best for traders migrating an existing journal into Vigil so they can audit historical behavior instead of rebuilding a log from scratch.

What to verify after import

Expect core trade fields to transfer more reliably than custom notes, tags, or platform-specific annotations. Review the parsed result before assuming every workflow artifact came across intact.

How should you evaluate this import?

- Does your TradeZella export preserve the exact fields Vigil needs, starting with Date/Time, Instrument, Direction, Entry?

- Are Date/Time values consistent enough that you can verify one known trade before saving the import?

- Do the quirks on this page match the file you are holding, or are you relying on a different export mode than the one this guide describes?

What evidence should survive the import?

- Direction, symbol, size, and realized P&L match the original TradeZella file after parsing.

- Date/Time survives in a format you can sanity-check against one real trade from the source platform.

- Partial fills, commissions, swap, or grouped executions are reviewed before you trust the imported totals.

Supported Columns

Vigil automatically detects these TradeZella columns and maps them to a standardized trade format:

Date/TimeInstrumentDirectionEntryExitShares/ContractsGross P&L
What usually breaks in TradeZella exports?
  • --Columns vary based on user selection at export time.
  • --Uses 2-digit year format in date fields.
  • --Gross P&L and Net P&L are separate columns.
  • --Journal exports can preserve summary trades while dropping the context that explains why the trade was taken. Review the parsed rows before assuming your old workflow survived intact.
What should you check before trusting the import?

- Spot-check one winning trade and one losing trade before saving the import.

- Confirm the importer did not flatten a format-specific edge case into a generic row.

- Treat this page as a working guide, not a final authority, because the export shape is still too variable for confident indexing.

  • 2. See performance breakdowns by instrument, session, and day of week.
  • 3. Track drawdown in real-time against your prop firm rules.
