Trandence

TradeStation allows you to download your stock and option trade data from their web client center through the Tax Center.

Exporting from TradeStation

  1. Go to TradeStation’s web client center and log in.
  2. Click on Accounts in the header panel.
  3. Click on Equities Accounts from the left panel.
  4. Select Tax Center from the dropdown list under Equities Account.
  5. Under the Download Tax Activity section, set File Format to Microsoft Excel CSV.
  6. Select the date range of trades you would like to import.
  7. Check Exclude Broken/Canceled Trades.
  8. Click Download and save the file to your computer.

Note: TradeStation only allows you to download 6 months of data at a time. To export one year of data, you will need to run two separate exports.

Import To Trandence

  1. Open Trandence and go to the Trades page.
  2. Click Import Trades and select Upload CSV/TXT.
  3. Choose TradeStation as the broker.
  4. Set CSV Timezone to the timezone used by the broker export. For most US equities workflows, this is America/New_York.
  5. Optionally apply an import preset if you use saved defaults for this account.
  6. Select or drop the exported CSV file.
  7. Review the parsed trades before saving. Confirm symbols, side, open/close times, quantity, prices, commissions, and the session date range.
  8. Use Batch Tags to label the import, for example TradeStation Main or TS June.
  9. Click Import & Review Summary to save the import and open the post-import summary.

For the full import workflow, including presets, preview validation, multi-session progress, and conflict review, see Importing Trades.

What Trandence Reads

Trandence reads activity rows with Transaction, Quantity, Symbol, Price, Commission, and Activity Time. Export trades/activity rows, not a portfolio summary.

Trandence keeps supported US equity symbols, including common share-class formats such as BRK.A and BRK.B, and organizes the imported executions into completed trades for review.

Conflict Handling

If imported rows overlap with trades already in Trandence, use Review Conflicts to compare them before saving. The safest default is Keep Existing, which preserves the trade already in your account.

If you need to replace existing data, delete or correct the existing trades first, then import the file again intentionally. You can review completed imports from Import History.
