How to Import Trades from TradingView

Introduction

Most trading journals do not connect directly to TradingView. That means copy-pasting prices from the chart panel or exporting order history yourself. TradeLogger is built around chart screenshots: paste an image from TradingView and AI reads symbol, entry, exit, and stop levels for you.

This guide covers three workflows—screenshot import (recommended), CSV export from paper trading, and chart URL review—so you can pick what fits your setup.

Prerequisites

• A TradingView account with your charts and trades visible.
• A TradeLogger account for screenshot import and AI analysis.
• For CSV export: paper trading or a connected broker panel open in TradingView.

Method 1: Screenshot Import (Recommended)

This is the quickest way to log a trade with full chart context. TradeLogger reads the screenshot and fills in trade details automatically.

Step 1: Capture your TradingView chart

Open the chart for the trade you want to log. Include entry, exit, stop loss, and take profit markers if you use them. Capture the image with your OS screenshot tool or copy the chart image to the clipboard.

Windows:  Win + Shift + S  → select chart area
macOS:    Cmd + Shift + 4  → select chart area
Linux:    Use your distro screenshot tool or copy from browser

Step 2: Open TradeLogger and add a trade

Go to your dashboard, click to add a new trade, and paste the screenshot with Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). You can also upload the image file directly.

Step 3: Save and let AI extract the details

Select how you felt before the trade, add any notes, and save. TradeLogger sends the screenshot to AI analysis, which pulls out symbol, direction, prices, and timing where visible on the chart.

Typical fields extracted from a chart screenshot:
- Symbol (e.g. EURUSD, AAPL)
- Long or Short
- Entry / exit prices
- Stop loss and take profit levels
- Entry and exit times (when shown on chart)

Review the extracted values on the trade page and correct anything the AI missed. Charts with clear labels and markers give the best results.

Method 2: Export CSV from TradingView Paper Trading

If you use TradingView paper trading, you can export order history as a CSV file. According to TradingView's export guide, open the broker dropdown in the trading panel and click Export data…, then choose Order History.

1. Open the Trading Panel in your chart.
2. Select Paper Trading (or your connected broker).
3. Click Export data… in the broker menu.
4. Choose Order History—not Position History or other tabs.
5. Download the CSV (often named order_history_YYYY-MM-DD.csv).

Use the CSV as your trade record or cross-check fills while you log each trade in TradeLogger. Pair a CSV row with a chart screenshot when you want both the numbers and the setup context saved together.

Example CSV columns (may vary by export type):
Time, Symbol, Side, Type, Qty, Price, Status

Method 3: Paste a TradingView Chart URL

When you want to review a shared chart layout before logging it, copy the URL from your browser. It looks like this:

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/6rpQ6kGa/

Open TradeLogger's analyze page, paste the URL, and view the live chart. This is useful for studying a setup; for a full journal entry with AI extraction, still capture a screenshot and import it via the dashboard.

Broker-Connected Trades

If you execute through a broker linked to TradingView (OANDA, TradeStation, etc.), the fills live in your broker account—not only in TradingView. Export trade history from your broker's portal when you need an official record. You can still attach a TradingView chart screenshot in TradeLogger to document why you took the trade.

Tips for Better Imports

• Zoom the chart so entry, stop, and target labels are readable.
• Include the symbol and timeframe in the screenshot frame.
• Log the trade soon after it closes while the chart still matches your execution.
• For bulk paper-trading history, export Order History CSV weekly and screenshot your best setups for review.

Limitations and Considerations

• CSV export availability may depend on your TradingView plan and whether you use paper trading or a connected broker.
• AI extraction depends on what is visible in the screenshot. Always verify prices and position size before relying on them for performance stats.
• Chart URLs must be public or saved layouts you own—private workspace links may not load for others.
• This guide is for journaling workflows, not trading or financial advice.

Conclusion

The fastest way to import a TradingView trade into TradeLogger is a chart screenshot pasted on the dashboard. For paper trading history, export Order History CSV from the trading panel and use it alongside screenshot imports. Review extracted fields, add your notes and emotions, and your journal stays complete without manual data entry.
