Broker Import

Import Stock Trades from Your Broker

Move beyond manually entering every transaction. TradeBB helps you bring your stock trading history into one organized journal through broker sync, file import, or manual entry.

Import trades from popular brokers and platforms, including:



These are just a few of the brokers supported by TradeBB. Available import methods vary by broker. Connect supported accounts in read-only mode or upload your broker trade history file.

Core Problem

Your Broker Shows Transactions. A Stock Trading Journal Shows Patterns.

Broker statements can tell you what you bought and sold, but they rarely explain why some trades worked and others did not.

TradeBB turns your stock trading history into a structured review process. Instead of looking only at total profit and loss, you can compare performance across tickers, setups, trading behavior, time periods, and broker accounts.

Find Your Best and Worst Symbols

See which stock symbols contribute most to your results and which tickers repeatedly underperform.

Compare Stock Trading Setups

Organize trades by strategies such as breakouts, pullbacks, momentum trades, reversals, or swing setups, then compare their performance over time.

Identify Costly Trading Habits

Use custom tags to track FOMO, overtrading, poor entries, early exits, revenge trading, or any behavior that affects your results.

Review Multiple Accounts Together

Bring trading activity from different supported brokers into one journal and compare results by account.

Reports

Analyze Stock Trading Performance from Every Angle

A useful stock trading journal should help you understand more than whether you made or lost money. TradeBB organizes your trades into reports that reveal where your results are coming from.

Overview Report

Review your overall trading performance, including net P&L, win rate, profit factor, trade expectancy, holding time, and trading costs.

Symbol Report

Compare results across individual stock symbols. Identify which tickers fit your trading style and which ones may be hurting your performance.

Strategy Report

Measure the performance of your stock trading strategies and setups. See which approaches produce more consistent results and which need further review.

Tag Report

Analyze the impact of mistakes, emotions, market conditions, and execution behavior using your own custom tags.

Trading Calendar

Review trading activity by day, week, or month. Spot patterns in profitability, trade frequency, and consistency across different periods.

Broker Account Report

Compare profitability, win rate, trading activity, and performance across multiple brokerage accounts.

Workflow

Build a Repeatable Stock Trade Review Process

TradeBB gives you a clear workflow for turning completed stock trades into useful lessons.

1. Import Your Stock Trades

Choose your broker and sync your account where available, upload a supported trade history file, or add trades manually.

2. Organize Trades by Setup and Behavior

Assign strategies and custom tags to record the setup, market conditions, execution quality, mistakes, and emotions behind each trade.

3. Add Notes and Screenshots

Document your original trade idea, entry reasoning, exit decision, lessons learned, and chart screenshots while the context is still clear.

4. Review Your Results

Use dashboards, reports, filters, and the trading calendar to compare performance and identify recurring strengths and weaknesses.

Trader Types

Built for the Way Stock Traders Actually Trade

Whether you place several trades a day or hold positions for several weeks, TradeBB helps you create a review process around your own trading style.

Day Traders

Review frequent stock trades, daily profitability, trade count, holding time, execution patterns, and behaviors such as overtrading or chasing entries.

Swing Traders

Track multi-day positions, compare swing setups, review entry and exit decisions, and analyze performance across symbols and strategies.

Multi-Account Traders

Organize trades from different brokerage accounts and compare results without maintaining separate spreadsheets for every broker.

What to Track

What Should a Stock Trading Journal Track?

A stock trading journal should record both the trade itself and the decisions behind it. Useful information includes:

Trade Details

Symbol, trade date and time, direction, position size, entry price, exit price, commissions, fees, and realized P&L.

Strategy and Setup

The strategy or setup that led to the trade, such as a breakout, momentum move, pullback, reversal, or swing trade.

Trade Management

How the position was entered, managed, scaled, and exited, including whether the original plan was followed.

Notes and Screenshots

The reasoning behind the trade, relevant chart screenshots, observations, and lessons to review later.

Mistakes and Emotions

Behaviors such as FOMO, hesitation, overtrading, revenge trading, poor discipline, or exiting too early.

Performance Results

Win rate, profit factor, expectancy, average win and loss, holding time, trading costs, and performance by symbol, strategy, tag, and account.

TradeBB brings these details together so you can review your stock trading process without rebuilding reports manually.

Spreadsheet Comparison

Stock Trading Journal Software vs a Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet can be a useful starting point when you have only a few trades to record. As your trading history grows, however, manual data entry and formulas become harder to maintain.

With TradeBB, you can:

  • Import trades instead of entering every execution manually
  • Generate reports without building spreadsheet formulas
  • Review performance by symbol, strategy, tag, and account
  • See trading activity in a calendar view
  • Keep trade notes and screenshots connected to your trades
  • Apply filters across your trading history
  • Manage multiple broker accounts in one place

Use a spreadsheet when you need a simple manual log. Use TradeBB when you want a more complete stock trading review workflow.

Security

Read-Only Broker Connections

Where broker sync is supported, TradeBB uses read-only connections designed for importing and reviewing trading data.

TradeBB is a trading journal, not a brokerage platform. It cannot use a read-only connection to place trades or move funds.

For brokers that do not support direct sync, you can upload a supported trade history file instead.
