How To Export Trade History on Schwab

Follow the steps below to download your trades and transaction history from Charles Schwab. However, keep in mind, due to Schwab failing to include trade times, no option data will be able to be imported. Alternatively, you can download your trade history from thinkorswim to get this data as well.

To start the process, you need to log into your Schwab account. Once logged in, navigate to the Accounts tab. From there, select History from the dropdown menu. This section houses all your transaction and trade history, which you’ll need to export.

• Trades: A list of all executed trades within the selected time frame.
• Dividends: Details of dividends paid or reinvested.
• Account Transactions: Information about deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions.
• Fees: Any fees reflected within the account.

If you have multiple accounts with Schwab (e.g., brokerage accounts, retirement accounts), you’ll need to choose the specific account for which you want to export the trade history. Look for a dropdown menu or a list of accounts on the Account History page.

Before exporting, you’ll next need to adjust the time frame by using the selector towards the top of the page. You can typically choose from predefined ranges such as “Last 14 Days,” “Current Year,” “Last 12 Months,” or specify a custom range.

After you’ve selected the time frame and account, you’ll then export by using the export icon in the upper right hand corner of the transaction statement. You’ll be presented with several file format options, such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values), JSON, or XML. You can pick the one you need, but in most situations you’ll want to leave the CSV option selected and click the Export button to save the file to your computer.

Now that you’ve got your trade history saved, let’s walk through how to import those trades into TraderLog. Don’t worry, the process is super simple and user-friendly.

After logging into TraderLog, the first thing you’ll want to do is click the ‘New Trade’ button. You’ll find it in the top right corner of your dashboard. This is the same button you’d use if you were manually entering trades.

Once you click ‘New Trade,’ a new window will pop up. Here, you have two options: you can either manually input trade details or import your file. For the latter, simply find the ‘Upload File’ button in the window—this is where you’ll upload your CSV or Excel file. Go ahead and click that to continue.

In the window that pops up, you’ll see an option labeled ‘Upload File’. This is where you’ll upload your CSV or Excel file that contains your trade history. Just click that button to move forward.

Next, you’ll be asked to select your broker from a dropdown list. TraderLog supports a bunch of brokers, so just make sure to pick the one that matches the statement you saved earlier.

If you’ve linked multiple trading accounts in TraderLog, you’ll also need to choose the correct account at this step. This ensures the trades are imported into the right account within the platform.

After you’ve selected your broker, chosen your account, and uploaded your trade file, you’re ready to finalize the process. Just hit the ‘Save & Submit’ button located in the bottom right corner of the window.

Keep in mind, the ‘Save & Submit’ button will only be clickable once all the necessary fields (broker, account, and file) are filled out. If anything is missing, the button will stay disabled—so double-check everything before hitting submit!
