I.  Prepare TAPro for Data Import:

 

  • Within TAPro, select "View/Properties"

 

 

  • Within the Properties dialog, select "Associated File Types"

 

 

  • Select the check boxes for "Import .QIF, QFX and OFX", this enables TAPro to directly receive these files during the download process.

  • Select "OK"

  • Leave TAPro open so it can receive the file download.

 

 

II.  Download and Import a TradeAccountant.OFX File:

 

  • Log into your account.

  • Navigate to the Tax Information page

  • Select a date range
  • Choose TradeAccountant as the "File Type"
  • Select "Download"

  • When the download starts choose "Open with TradeAccountant".  If you don't see this choice then save the file and use the instructions below for importing the data.

 

III. Download and Import Excel and other Data Files:

 

  • Log into your account.

  • Navigate to the Trades & Other Transactions page

  • Select a date range
  • Choose Tab or Excel or CSV as the "Format"  Select TAB delimited if offered.
  • Select "Download"

  • You can create an import profile in TAPro during the import of your first file.  Then you can reuse the same profile to automatically import similar files.  If there is a problem with the profile then also select the "Edit" check box each time the profile is used.

  • If you need to convert a .csv file into TAB then from within Excel save the file as TAB Delimited (using Excel, File/Save As/...).

TradeStation Field Name

TAPro Field Name

Symbol Symbol
TD Date Transacted
SD Date Settled
Price Price

The TAPro import utility is flexible.  If you saved the file as TAB delimited then during the import process select "Tab" as the delimiter of the data.  If you encounter problems please send us an email.  It could be something minor associated with the data format.

 

When you start an import select the file that you want to import and TAPro will determine if it needs guidance.  If guidance is needed then follow the steps in the menus that appear.  At the beginning of the process create a new profile name or select an existing profile.  TAPro will attempt to reuse this profile for each import of the same type file to the same account in TAPro.  If there is a problem with the profile then also select the "Edit" check box each time the profile is used.

 

If there is an error in your profile you may need to select the Edit check box during the import process so you can make changes.  To remove a profile select "Import Rules/Profile Manager" from the File/Import menu. 

 

 

IV. Enter Data Manually:

 

You can manually enter trades from the Transaction Screen by selecting the "Add" button.
