How to import trades

Overview

Datrade accepts trade data from broker-specific file exports. The import screen shows all currently supported brokers — if yours isn't listed, email contact@datrade.io and it will be added.

Accepted file formats: CSV and TLG.

Step-by-step

Step 1 — Export from your broker

Log in to your broker platform and navigate to trade history or account statements. Export the data for the date range you need.

Once you select your broker inside Datrade, the right side of the import screen shows broker-specific export instructions.

Step 2 — Open the Import screen

Go to Trades → Import in the sidebar, or click the Import Trades button at the bottom-left.

Step 3 — Select broker and account

Pick your broker from the Broker / trading dropdown. Two more fields will appear:

• Account — which trading account this import belongs to. Manage accounts in Trading Accounts.
• Tags — optionally assign one or more tags to every trade in this file. Useful for marking a batch by strategy or session type. Set up your tags in Tags Management.

Step 4 — Upload the file

Drag your file onto the upload zone, or click to browse. The file name and size appear below the zone once it's attached.

Step 5 — Click Import Trades

Hit Import Trades. A progress bar appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen while processing runs.

Processing time

Full indicator calculation runs at roughly 1 second per trade. A 500-trade file takes around 8–10 minutes. Large imports may take over an hour during peak load.

Basic stats that don't require candle data (P&L, commissions, holding time) finish almost instantly, so your trades become visible in the Trades view shortly after submitting.

You can navigate away — the import continues in the background.
