TraderMemosSupported brokers
Every broker preset and statement parser — which file to export from each platform, and the timezone its times are read in.
The importer recognizes the exports below automatically: drop the file and the column mapping, broker name, and timezone are pre-filled in the preview. Anything not listed still imports as a generic fill CSV — you map the columns yourself.
How detection works
- CSV presets match on the file's header names. A recognized export pre-fills the column mapping and the timezone its timestamps are read in; both stay editable before commit.
- MetaTrader statements are detected from the file's content (not its name) — the MT5 Trade History Report and the MT4 Statement are table documents, not CSVs, so they skip the mapping step entirely.
Timezones
Broker exports almost never carry a UTC offset — the timestamps are a wall clock in some zone only the platform knows. Each preset carries the zone that platform conventionally writes:
- US equity brokers export US Eastern time.
- Futures platforms export exchange (Chicago) time.
- FX/CFD platforms (cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader) default to UTC, but follow the platform or portal's configured offset — check yours.
- MetaTrader reports use the broker server's clock — conventionally EET/EEST (GMT+2/+3, so daily candles close with the New York session), never UTC.
The preview shows the assumed zone and lets you override it before committing. Timestamps that
carry their own offset (ISO 8601 with Z or +hh:mm) ignore the assumption. If your trades
land hours off, delete the batch, re-import, and correct the timezone in the preview.
CSV presets
| Platform | File to export | Times read as | Quantities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interactive Brokers | Flex Query or Activity Statement trades CSV (Buy/Sell, TradePrice columns) | US Eastern | shares / contracts |
| ThinkOrSwim | Account Statement → Account Trade History section export | US Eastern | shares / contracts |
| Webull | Orders export (filled orders) | US Eastern | shares |
| Charles Schwab | Transactions export | US Eastern | shares |
| Tradovate | Fills export | Chicago (exchange time) | futures contracts |
| NinjaTrader | Executions grid export | US Eastern | futures contracts |
| cTrader | History tab export — one row per closed position (open + close) | UTC (platform-configured offset) | lots |
| DXtrade | Order History export (prop-firm portals) — one row per fill | UTC | lots |
| Match-Trader | Positions export (closed or open) — one row per position | UTC | lots |
Notes:
- cTrader / Match-Trader rows are position-level: each row becomes an open and a close fill. Match-Trader rows for still-open positions import just the opening fill — re-import after they close to complete the round trip (duplicates are skipped).
- DXtrade portals vary by prop firm; the preset matches the common
Filled Volume/Fill Priceorder-history layout.
MetaTrader statements (MT4 / MT5)
No CSV needed — export the terminal's own report and upload it as-is:
| Terminal | File to export | What's imported |
|---|---|---|
| MetaTrader 5 | Trade History Report — right-click the History tab → Report → XLSX or HTML | The Deals table: every buy/sell deal becomes a fill |
| MetaTrader 4 | Statement or detailed Account History — right-click the Account History tab → Save as Report (HTML) | The Closed Transactions table: each row becomes an open + close fill pair |
- Balance rows (deposits, credits, corrections) and cancelled pending orders are skipped silently; rows with broken fields surface as row errors in the preview instead of aborting the import.
- Commission stays its own cost line; swap (and any fee column) imports as fees — they are distinct costs on a MetaTrader account.
- Times default to the MetaTrader server-time convention (EET/EEST). If your broker's server runs UTC or local time, override the timezone in the preview before committing.
How lots become units
On lot-denominated platforms (cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader, MetaTrader) P&L math resolves a per-symbol contract size instead of the equity/option multiplier:
| Symbol | Units per 1.00 lot |
|---|---|
| FX pairs (EURUSD, GBPJPY, …) | 100,000 |
| Gold, platinum, palladium (XAU*, XPT*, XPD*) | 100 |
| Silver (XAG*) | 5,000 |
| Index / crypto CFDs | 1 (price is the contract value) |
Broker symbol suffixes (EURUSD.r, XAUUSDm) are recognized.
Your broker isn't listed?
Every fill export with symbol / side / quantity / price / time columns imports through the generic CSV mapping — presets only save the mapping step. Open a GitHub issue with a redacted sample export and we'll add a preset.
