Import TradingView Trades to Vigil

TradingView supports broker-connected execution and paper trading from the chart. Vigil accepts exported TradingView trade history CSVs through the generic import layer and standardizes them for auditing.

Reviewed against current importer coverage on Apr 2, 2026. TradingView exports vary by connected broker and export surface, so this guide stays noindex until parser examples and field-level coverage are stronger.

What Job Is This Guide Actually Solving?

The job is not simply uploading a TradingView file. The real job is turning raw executions into an audit-ready trade history without losing the fields that explain why a session passed or failed.

TradingView already records the fills. This guide helps you verify whether the exported file keeps the timestamps, sizing, and P&L evidence that Vigil needs before you trust the audit layer.

What TradingView Import Gives You

TradingView records what happened. Vigil tells you what went wrong. Every imported trade gets checked against your prop firm rules: did you exceed daily loss? Did you hold through a restricted news window? Did your position size violate the drawdown math? The answers are in your execution data -- you just need something that reads it.

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

Who this import guide is for

Best for traders exporting directly from TradingView and wanting to audit broker or platform history without manual trade entry.

What to verify after import

Broker exports can be messy around partial fills, commissions, duplicate headers, or signed quantities. The guide reduces that friction, but you still need to verify the parsed trades before saving.

How should you evaluate this import?

- Does your TradingView export preserve the exact fields Vigil needs, starting with Date, Symbol, Side, Quantity?

- Are Date 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 TradingView file after parsing.

- Date 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.

What usually breaks in TradingView exports?
  • --Exact column names vary by connected broker and TradingView export view.
  • --Paper trading exports and broker-connected exports may differ slightly.
  • --Vigil falls back to generic broker-column mapping when TradingView uses a broker-specific schema.
  • --Broker exports often look clean until one edge case distorts the audit, especially around signed quantities, duplicate headers, or entry/exit pairing.
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.
