| How To Import Trades From Webull To Tradervue |
Step 1: Preparing Your Webull Trade History for Export
This is where your journey to better trading insights begins! Before you can import your trades into Tradervue, you need to extract them from your Webull account. Webull typically allows you to export your trade history in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, which is perfect for importing into other platforms.
Sub-heading 1.1: Accessing Your Webull Account
First things first, you'll need to log into your Webull account. You can do this either through the Webull mobile application or their desktop platform. The process is largely similar, but we'll focus on the mobile app as it's a common way to manage trades.
Open the Webull mobile application on your smartphone or tablet.
Once logged in, look for the "Account" button or the Webull logo usually located at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it.
Sub-heading 1.2: Navigating to Your Trade History
Within the Account section, you'll find various tabs related to your portfolio and activity.
Look for and tap on the "HISTORY" tab. It's crucial to select "HISTORY" and not "ORDERS," as the Orders tab typically shows pending or recently completed orders, not your full trade history.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Sub-heading 1.3: Filtering and Exporting Your Data
Now you're ready to specify the data you want to export.
On the HISTORY tab, locate the "Filter" option. This is usually an icon that looks like a funnel or a small filter symbol. Tap on it.
Under "Select Time," choose the date range for the trades you wish to export. Webull offers default options, or you can select "Custom" for a specific date range. Make sure the chosen range covers all the trades you intend to import into Tradervue.
Under "Order Status," slide left or select "Fully Filled." This ensures you're only exporting executed trades, not canceled or partially filled ones.
Once your filters are set, tap "Done" to apply them.
To initiate the export, look for the download symbol (an arrow pointing down), typically located at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it.
You might be prompted to confirm your email address. Click "Submit" to send the CSV file containing your trade history to your registered Webull account email.
A quick note: Webull usually has a limit of one export per day. It's often best to perform this export at the end of your trading day to capture all your activities. Also, keep in mind that Webull's CSV export typically does not include commissions or fees. You may need to manually add these in Tradervue later or set up default commission rules if your Tradervue subscription allows for it.
Step 2: Retrieving the Exported File
Once you've submitted the export request from Webull, the data won't magically appear in Tradervue. You'll need to retrieve the CSV file from your email.
Sub-heading 2.1: Checking Your Email
Open the email client associated with your Webull account.
Look for an email from Webull containing your trade history. It might be in your inbox, spam, or promotions folder, so be sure to check thoroughly.
Download the attached CSV file to your computer. Remember where you save it! A good practice is to create a dedicated folder for your trading journal files.
Step 3: Importing Your Webull Trades into Tradervue
Now for the exciting part – bringing your Webull data into Tradervue so you can start analyzing your performance!
Sub-heading 3.1: Logging into Tradervue
Go to the Tradervue website (tradervue.com) and log in to your account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a free trial.
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
Sub-heading 3.2: Navigating to the Import Section
Once logged in, look for the "Import Trades" option. This is usually found in the left-hand navigation panel of your dashboard. Click on it.
Sub-heading 3.3: Selecting Webull as Your Broker
Tradervue supports a wide range of brokers.
On the "Import Trades" page, you'll see a list or dropdown menu of supported brokers. Select "Webull" from this list. If for some reason Webull isn't listed (though it should be), you can consider using the "Generic Import Format" and mapping the columns manually, but this is usually a last resort.
Sub-heading 3.4: Uploading Your CSV File
This is the final step in getting your data across.
Tradervue will provide instructions specific to Webull. You will typically see a button that says "Choose File" or "Upload File."
Click on this button and navigate to where you saved the Webull CSV file on your computer.
Select the file and then click "Open" or "Upload" (depending on your operating system and browser).
Tradervue will then process your file. You might be asked to confirm the time zone for your trades during the import process. Ensure you select the correct time zone to avoid discrepancies in your analysis.
Sub-heading 3.5: Reviewing and Confirming Your Import
After the upload, Tradervue will often show you a summary of the trades it's about to import.
Carefully review the summary to ensure the number of trades and overall data looks correct.
If everything appears accurate, click "Import" or "Confirm."
Congratulations! Your Webull trades should now be successfully imported into Tradervue. You can now delve into Tradervue's powerful analytics, journaling features, and performance reports to gain deeper insights into your trading strategies.
