Import from TradingView Paper Trading

Guide to bringing the history of a TradingView Paper Trading account into Trader Leap.

How to export

1. Click the "Paper Trading" broker type in TradingView.
2. Click the "Export data..." button.
3. Select "Order History" from the dropdown.

Export the whole history, not a date range. The round trips are rebuilt by following the orders in sequence, so a file that starts in the middle of a position has no entry to pair its exit with.

Order History is required. Other export types (like Positions or Orders) will not work for importing.

How to import

The file lists orders, not trades. Trader Leap rebuilds the round trips from it: the filled orders pair up into entries and exits, oldest first. Cancelled bracket legs don't become trades, but the bracket's stop and target still come in on the trade. TradingView cancels the leg you didn't hit and lists it anyway. A position still open when you exported — including one you had only partly closed — arrives as a trade with no exit.

1. In Trader Leap, go to Import and upload the file.
2. At the mapping step the columns arrive already filled in. Check them, correct anything that came in wrong, and use Save as Template if you want the same mapping next time.
3. Review the preview and confirm. The symbol arrives shortened to its root, so CME_MINI:MNQ1! becomes MNQ and matches the instrument.

Two things the file cannot tell us. It carries no P&L column, so the result comes from the price move and the size. On futures and forex that gives you the move itself, not the money, until you fill in the contract specs on the trade. And a stop you moved during the trade comes in at the level it ended on, not where it started.

This export walkthrough also appears inside the app, on the Import screen, under How to Export from Your Broker. File different from what's expected? Adjust the column mapping manually.
