download link (https://us-ord-1.linodeobjects.com/tradesviz-public/tradesviz-import-formats/tradesviz_custom_format.csv?v=4)
) that you can download and fill in and import by selecting "Custom" as the platform on TradesViz
import page (/import/)
. The custom/generic file uses columns such as date, time, symbol, asset_type, price, currency, quantity, commiss, tags, and notes. You can also add stop_loss and profit_target columns.
What are the different ways to import data into TradesViz?
You can add trades in multiple ways:
- Manual file import from your broker in
tradesviz.com/import (/import)
(most common).
- Auto-sync connection from the "Add Auto-sync Connection" tab for supported brokers.
- API-based login-and-sync flow for selected brokers (platforms marked API-Auto-Sync in the platform list).
- Manual trade entry from dashboard/import page for hand-entered trades.
For file imports, always follow the exact broker instructions shown on the import page.
Can I use my own custom format to import trades?
Yes, but only using TradesViz templates. Use
Custom
for execution-level files (one fill per row) and
Custom Alt
for trade-level files (one full trade per row). Download and follow the official template instructions from
tradesviz.com/import (/import)
. Please note that Custom/Custom Alt are strict schemas and are not placeholders for arbitrary CSV layouts.
My broker file format is unsupported. How can I still import it?
First, confirm whether your broker is already supported on
tradesviz.com/import (/import)
. If it is supported, please follow the broker export instructions exactly and make sure you uploaded the correct file/report type. If the broker/format is not supported, use the AI converter flow on the import page: in broker search/no-results or failed import prompts, click
Convert it with AI
, convert the file using ChatGPT/Gemini (or the provided prompt), and then import the converted CSV using
Custom
(execution-level) or
Custom Alt
(trade-level). If you want native broker support added, contact support@tradesviz.com with your broker name, a sample export file, and the exact export steps so we can evaluate support. Before upload, review converted rows for accuracy and remove personal account details before using any external AI tool.

and change the timezone of your account.

, select "Auto import trades", select the trading account and broker you want to connect, and click "Connect" to establish the connection. Once the connection is established, TradesViz syncs it automatically once every 24 hours.

If available, the "Sync" button can be used for an on-demand/manual sync.
I am not able to sync my TD-Ameritrade/Schwab account
This could be due to several reasons. Most of the time the issue is with entering the login ID instead of the account ID in the initial connection step or re-using an API code. Please check our detailed blog post here: https://www.tradesviz.com/blog/auto-import-schwab/. If you still have issues, please contact us at support@tradesviz.com.
Trade Management
How to delete individual trades?
In the Trades table, shift-click on each row (trade) you want to delete and click on "Group apply" and then scroll down till you see "Delete trades" checkbox - check it and click on "Save changes" or right click on a row and click on delete trade. Important: if the trade came from broker auto-sync or a file import, deleting it alone does not permanently block the same broker execution from being imported again. TradesViz de-duplicates incoming executions against executions currently in the database using execution timestamp plus symbol. If you delete the execution, it is no longer present for that check. To prevent it from affecting P&L/statistics without reappearing, edit the existing trade/execution quantity and price to 0. If you want it removed completely, delete it and move the auto-sync connection Sync from date to after that trade date before syncing again.
How to clear a trading account/delete all trades in a trading account?

To get account returns visit Equity curve tab under Summary section and add your deposits.

Performance Analytics
Why is the end date of Total PnL not the same as the end date of date filter on the top right?

Troubleshooting
My Metatrader PnL is incorrect - how can I fix it?
There are 2 reasons: If your broker allows multiple positions for the same trade, you need to use MetaTrader 5 (Alt) as the platform in the import page. If that also does not fix it, then there may be a symbol multiplier/leverage issue which can be fixed from our side within 24 hrs. Just email the HTML file to support@tradesviz.com and we will fix it for you.
Why are my executions not plotted correctly in the trade chart?
Please make sure that the timezone of your trade is correctly matched during import. For example, if you are using IBKR platform, the executions are always reported in exchange timezone and so you have to select the exchange timezone during the import - not your local timezone. This depends on the broker/platform you are using and you will have to change the timezone settings in the import page accordingly.
I entered a tag, but it is not added to the trade - why?
Please make sure that you add a comma after every tag - even if you enter only 1 tag, you need to add a comma at the end and then try saving it.
Trade Management

Importing & Syncing Trades
After syncing/auto-sync my connection to my broker, I do not see all the trades
All brokers have limits on how much history is provided from the broker side. These are limitations of the brokers and not of TradesViz. We provide approximate limitations based on API guidelines in an information box in the connection popup when you establish the connection. We highly suggest
importing all your historical data (/import/)
manually once and then setting up auto-sync connection with sync from date after the last trade in your account to ensure seamless continuity of data.
My Interactive Brokers (IBKR) connection is not working
This can be due to 3 reasons:
- If your connection was previously working, then your token may have expired. You need to re-generate a new token by following the first few steps of this page:
https://www.tradesviz.com/blog/auto-import-interactive-brokers/
(Choosing a longer expiry token is better if you do not want to do this process frequently.)
After you get the new token, click "Edit" in the connections list, paste the new token, and save the connection.
(There is no need to make any changes to your flex query. You can re-use the flex ID)

Troubleshooting
I am not able to import my trades/import not working/error on import
If you are seeing errors on import, it is likely that your import file (format or data) is incorrect and unsupported by our module. Please check the instructions for your broker on www.tradesviz.com/import and try importing with the correct file.
If your broker/platform is not supported or you followed the instructions and still see import errors, please email support@tradesviz.com with: 1. broker/platform name and website, 2. exported file of your orders/executions in CSV, XLS, XLSX, or TXT format with at least date, time, symbol, price, and quantity, and 3. the export instructions you used, including the website/platform, buttons clicked, and options selected. Once we get this information, we can begin constructing a dedicated import module for that broker/platform. This may take 2-3 days depending on the quality of the export file and instructions.
My PnL numbers or statistics are incorrect or not matching with my broker/Incorrect data
If you are having issues with pnl or statistics, please make sure to provide full information about the issue you are having to as an email to support@tradesviz.com. This helps us help you with an effective solution. Below is the information we would ideally require from you:
- Your trading account name on TradesViz
- Your broker/platform name
- Are you using auto or manual imports?
- If you are using manual imports, please share the file that resulted in problematic data in his chat or you can send it to support@tradesviz.com
- What numbers do you expect vs what are you seeing?
- Share screenshots of the issue if applicable (support@tradesviz.com)

Troubleshooting
All my data is gone, I cannot see any trades or statistics
This is because of your filters. Make sure to reset your filters by clicking on the "Reset filters" button on the top right corner of your dashboard (Functions button) and make sure to set the date range as "Full range" by clicking on the calendar. If you still do not see any trades, please make sure that you have imported trades into your account. If you are new to TradesViz, please check out our
getting started guide (/blog/getting-started-with-tradesviz/)
.
I just imported/synced my trades, but I do not see any trades in the trades table even after resetting filters
If you are on free account, you can only import stock trades so if your file/sync had non-stock data, they will not be imported. If you are on Pro/Platinum plan and you are not able to see any data, please make sure your import file has the correct format and data. You can check the import instructions for your broker/platform on our
import page (/import/)
. If you are still having issues, please contact us at support@tradesviz.com
I cannot see the OHLC/chart data for my trades
There are a few reasons you are not seeing data in your charts:
You are on the free plan and you have imported non-stock trades. OHLC data is only available for stocks on the free plan.
You are using a custom symbol that is not recognized by TradesViz. Please make sure to use a valid symbol that is recognized by TradesViz.
You may be viewing data for a trade made on the same day. We get our data only after EOD (delayed) for most asset types so please check after some time.
If you are still having issues, please contact us at support@tradesviz.com

Troubleshooting
Why do all my calendar entries show 0.00 PnL?
This is likely because you have enabled "Use R-value" in the calendar tab. Please un-check that. R-value uses stop loss to calculate the R-value and if you have not set stop loss for your trades, it will show 0.00 PnL in the calendar. If you want to use R-value, please make sure to set stop loss for your trades.
Performance Analytics
Why is realized pnl on calendar different from daily pnl on the charts?
The realized pnl on the calendar is the total pnl for all trades executed on that day, while the daily pnl on the charts is the pnl for the trades close on that day. For example, if you opened a position on 10th, partially closed it on 11th and fully closed it on 12th, the realized pnl on the calendar for 10th and 11th will be the pnl for the executions realized on those days, while the daily pnl for the entire trade will shown on the closing date (12th). So the calendar shows the pnl for all trades executed on that day, while the charts show the pnl for trades closed on that day. You can change in your
account settings (/accounts/settings/)
to set trades to be shown based on close date (default) or open date.
Troubleshooting
I see trades that are supposed to be closed, but they are still showing as open in the trades table
This is likely because you have not added the closing execution for the trade or the opening execution was missing from your import. To close a trade, you need to add a closing execution in the opposite direction of the existing position. You can do this by exploring the trade and clicking on the "Add" button in the trade explore view. If you have already added the closing execution as a separate individual trade, you can use the group apply function to merge the two trades. Alternatively, before doing this, we suggest making sure that you have imported all your historical data.
Charts & Visualization
Why can't I see VWAP in my TradingView chart even after adding it?
This could be because the current data or the number of bars in the chart is not enough to calculate VWAP. Please make sure that you have enough data in the chart to calculate VWAP by zooming out so more bars are visible in the chart. Also, make sure that you have selected the correct timeframe for the chart. VWAP is calculated based on the volume and price of the bars in the chart, so if there are not enough bars or if the data is not available, VWAP will not be displayed.
Performance Analytics
Do you calculate unrealized PnL?
Yes, we calculate unrealized PnL for all open trades where the last trade is within the last 15 calendar days. For older trades, you need to recalculate them. Unrealized PnL is supported for all assets in the exchanges we support from US, IN, CA & AU markets. The price used is the last EOD close, and this is typically updated a few hours after close or by the next day before open at the latest. If you are not seeing unrealized PnL for your trades, please try clicking on the recalculate button in the trade explore view or use the group apply function to recalculate all trades in the trades table.
Troubleshooting
My trades are combined/merged even after I split them before importing. Why is that?
TradesViz uses a combination of symbol, date, and time to determine if trades should be merged or not in addition to if they are open or closed. If a trade is open, there will be splitting and merging - this cannot be avoided. If you are seeing fully closed trades split or merged differently, try using the default advanced import settings profile when importing.
I don't see my SPX/SPXW trades. Why is that?
SPX/SPXW are mapped to GSPC for some brokers. Try searching for GSPC in your trades table. This change/mapping does not affect your analysis, charting or any features of TradesViz related to viewing or exploring the trade.
Why am I seeing different data on website versus Mobile (Android/iOS) app?
Make sure you are using the same filters on both platforms if you wish to compare data cross platform. Selected trading accounts, selected date range, net/gross, and other filters should be the same on app as well as the website for the data to be same because both website and application charts/tables get data from the same central source.
Trade Management
How do I handle stock name changes or ticker symbol changes?
This is a two step process:
- Explore the trade for which the name has changed and add a new execution (you can copy the existing execution also) with price and quantity as zero. Edit the original execution price and quantity to be zero - this is so that this old "dummy" trade does not affect our analysis.
- Now explore into the NEW trade (with changed symbol) and add the original execution details (price, quantity, date etc.,) here. This way, the trade will be analyzed correctly and the symbol/name change will be handled properly.
Troubleshooting
TradesViz feels slow/laggy in my browser. What should I do?
TradesViz is a heavily JavaScript-based application and any slowness/lag is almost always caused by browser extensions or browser settings interfering with our scripts (ad blockers, privacy extensions, script blockers, translation extensions, password managers, etc.,) and not the application itself.
Quick test:
Open TradesViz in an Incognito/Private window with all extensions disabled - this is the true measure of TradesViz's actual speed on your machine. If the application is fast in incognito mode, then one of your extensions is the cause.
Steps to diagnose:
- Open an incognito/private window (Chrome/Edge: Ctrl+Shift+N, Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+P) and log in to TradesViz - check if the slowness is gone.
- If incognito is fast, go back to your normal browser and disable extensions one by one (especially ad blockers, privacy/security extensions, and script blockers) to find the culprit.
- Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled in your browser settings.
- Try a different browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) to rule out browser-specific issues.
If TradesViz is still slow even in incognito mode with no extensions, please
contact us (/contact/)
with details about your browser and OS so we can investigate further.
Trade Management
