Frequently Asked Questions

What file format does the Schwab import require?

The journal accepts the CSV export from Schwab’s Transaction History page. Make sure you filter by Trades before exporting, not All Transactions. The Trades filter ensures the file is formatted correctly for the import.

Where is the import feature inside the journal?

Go to the Trades tab, then click Import from Broker. Select Charles Schwab from the list and upload your CSV from there.

What if some trades are missing after the import?

The most common cause is the wrong export filter. Go back to Schwab’s History page, confirm you filtered by Trades rather than All Transactions, and re-export. If trades are still missing, you can log them manually inside the journal.

Can I import multiple CSV files to cover different date ranges?

Yes. You can run the import more than once with different CSV exports and the journal will add the trades from each file to your history.
