Hi,
I can't import csv from IQ edge even if I follow the QuesTrade IQ Edge Trading Journal Import procedure. Could you please help me ?

Example of the CSV, I get from IQ edge:
"Symbol","Action","Fill qty","Fill price","Exec time","Total value","Time placed","Account",
"OCGN","Sell","2","0.7397","28 juil. 2020 03:35:49 ","1.48","28 juil. 2020 03:35:49 ","xxxxxx - Margin",
"OCGN","Sell","2,998","0.7355","28 juil. 2020 03:35:49 ","2,205.03","28 juil. 2020 03:35:49 ","xxxxxx - Margin",

Thank you

For the dates in your file you've got this format:
28 juil. 2020 11:07:19

Is this a different language? "juil" is definitely not uniform. Any idea what juil is?

Yes, it's a french language. I think IQ edge uses the date format of my computer. I can't modify this in the software.

Ah, makes sense. The preferred format is "10/12/18 10:06:58AM". I'm sure I could make it work with French but that's a whole other issue... That one would probably take some time to figure out how to handle cleanly. Are you able to just use the month numbers?

I have to modify the CSV manually to use the right format.
It's work however I have other problems.
- In the CSV from IQ edge, one order or ticket is divided into several executions, and when I import them your website considers each execution as one ticket.

In the following example I place one buy order and one sell order but as you can see the CSV from IQ edge shows several executions. That's the reason why only the last sell execution has a commission of 4.95 . I don't think it makes sense to consider each execution as one ticket.

"Symbol","Action","Fill qty","Fill price","Exec time","Total value","Time placed","Commission"
"ONTX","Sell","100","1.3001","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","130.01","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","4.95"
"ONTX","Sell","400","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","520.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Sell","100","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","130.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Sell","100","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","130.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Sell","800","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","1,040.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Sell","100","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","130.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Sell","100","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","130.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Sell","300","1.30","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","390.00","07/29/20 03:06:52PM","0.00"
"ONTX","Buy","2,000","1.31","07/29/20 03:05:25PM","2,620.00","07/29/20 03:05:25PM","4.95"

- The other problem, when I choose Gross or Net in the dashboard and I click on filter, nothing changes (same behavior in the other sections such as calendar view or By symbol). However, Gross and Net value are displayed in the trade list.

Thank you for your help and your work !

The manually thing isn't really sustainable. I'll try and make it work for your date format. The multiple tickets thing is going to take some pondering on my part... how to address that. I'll have a look at the gross/net issue. Thank you for the heads up. Will keep you posted on these. Trade safe!

Go ahead and try your file as is... French. I believe that part should be addressed.

Thanks,

Hi TraderMichael,
Thank you very much, I can now import the CSV from IQedge without any manual modification. It's great.
About the multiple tickets, I can add a column in the exported CSV with the Order ID. The Order ID is a number and it's the same number for each ticket from the same order. Maybe, it can help you...
Thanks,
rhodanis
