How to export your Tradervue trades (and keep journaling them for free)

Your Tradervue history is months or years of tagged, annotated trades. Whether you're switching journals or just want a copy you control, the first step is the same: get it out as a CSV.

Step 1: Export your trades from Tradervue

  1. Open Trades in Tradervue.
  2. Filter to the dates you want. To move everything, set the range back to your first trade.
  3. Click Download CSV in the bottom-right corner of the trade list.

You now have one file with every completed trade in that range.

Step 2: Import the CSV into SpiceLog

SpiceLog recognizes a Tradervue export on its own, with no column mapping. Drop the file on the Imports page and you'll see a preview of what will import before anything is saved.

What comes across with each trade:

  • Tags, so the By-tag report ranks your setups by net P&L from day one
  • Notes, so your reasoning stays attached to the trade
  • Initial risk, so every trade already has an R-multiple

Imported the same file twice by mistake? Nothing is doubled: trades already in your journal are recognized and skipped.

Step 3: Keep adding your DAS fills

After the history is in, export your DAS Trader Pro trade log at the end of each day and drop it in the same way. When a DAS trade matches one from your Tradervue export (same symbol and side, opened and closed within 90 seconds), SpiceLog keeps a single copy, and the Tradervue version wins. Here's how to export from DAS.

What to check once it's imported

Before trusting any report, spend five minutes on these:

  1. Trade count. Does the import's total match the number of trades Tradervue showed for that range?
  2. Untagged trades. Filter for trades with no tag. Those are the ones your setup reports can't see.
  3. Missing risk. Trades without an initial risk have no R-multiple. Fill in the stop for your recent trades first; they matter most.

What SpiceLog doesn't do (yet)

SpiceLog is built for US stocks and ETFs only, so options or futures trades in your export won't import correctly. Tradervue still has features SpiceLog doesn't, such as exit analysis, running P&L charts and trade sharing. The full comparison is here.

SpiceLog is free: every feature, every report, unlimited imports, and no card to sign up.
