How to Export Your Trade CSV

1

Export the Trade List (Recommended)

2

Alternative: Performance Report Export

1

Log in to your account at tradovate.com or the Tradovate desktop app

2

Click your Account icon (top right) → select Account Details

3

Navigate to the History tab, then select the Orders sub-tab

4

Set your date range using the date picker at the top of the table

5

Click the Export button (download icon, top right of the table) and save as CSV

6

Upload the CSV to AlgoScope — name it after the strategy you ran during that period

✅  One strategy per CSV

AlgoScope compares strategies against each other. Upload a separate CSV for each algo or time period you want to compare. You can upload as many as you like.

✅  Give strategies clear names

When importing, name each strategy descriptively — "ORB ES Live 2024", "ADX NQ Sim Q1" etc. These names appear across all charts and tables.

⚠️  "No trades found" after uploading?

Make sure you're exporting the Trades tab (not the Orders or Positions tab). AlgoScope expects completed round-trip trades with P&L per row. If using NinjaTrader, try both the Trade List and Performance Report exports.

✅  Your data never leaves your browser

AlgoScope runs 100% locally. No server, no account, no data sent anywhere. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded. Your trade data stays on your machine.

✅  Comparing sim vs live?

Export your sim account trades as one CSV and live account trades as another. Import both with names like "ORB ES Sim" and "ORB ES Live" to see how your live performance compares to simulation.

⚠️  Dates look wrong or missing?

Make sure your NinjaTrader date format is set to MM/DD/YYYY in your Windows regional settings. AlgoScope parses the standard NinjaTrader date format. Tradovate exports are ISO format and parse automatically.
