Exporting trade data from TradeStation into a file
Currently, you can only import your stock and option trades using this method.
Go to TradeStation's web client center.
Click on "Accounts" in the header panel.
Click on "Equities Accounts" from the left panel.
Select ''Tax Center'' from the dropdown list under Equities Account
Under the ''Download Tax Activity'' Section, look for File Format and choose Microsoft Excel CSV.
Select the date range of trades you would like to import.
Select "Exclude Broken/Canceled Trades."
Click "Download" and save the file to your computer.
TradeStation only allows you to download 6 months of data at a time. So, to export one year of data, you can run two exports.
Uploading the exported file into TradeZella
Visit the TradeZella Add Trade page here or by clicking the “Add Trade” button on the sidebar.
On the Add Trade page, click “Add New Account” if you’re creating a new account for these trades.
If you’re uploading trades to an existing account, simply click on the “Add Trades” button in the account field:
On the Add New Account page, select TradeStation as the broker and click Continue.
Next, select the File Upload method and click Continue again.
On the final step, select the timezone of the file and upload the file. The system will handle the rest.
Important notes
Ensure Correct File Headers: For a successful file upload, ensure the exported file headers are as follows:
Account Number | Type | TradeInd | Transaction | Quantity | Cusip | ADP | Symbol | CallPut | Underlying | Symbol | ExpireDate | StrikePrice | TD | SD | Activity | Date | Price | Amount | CurrencyCode | Commission | Description | Activity | Time | Order ID
Stock and Option Trades Only: The file upload method supports only stock and option trades. To import your stock, option, and future trades, use the sync method or the copy-paste import method.
Importing your trades from TradeStation into TradeZella is designed to be user-friendly and efficient. By following these steps, you’ll maintain accurate trading records and gain insights to optimize your trading strategies.
