Trade records and reconciliation
TradeLocker Trading Journal
Start by identifying which TradeLocker journal and history features your account exposes. Keep broker statements, closed positions and review notes distinct, then reconcile a sample before recording it in Pineify.
Prepare a traceable TradeLocker record
- 1
Identify the account and environment
Record the broker or prop firm, account identifier, live/demo status, account currency and review period. Keep evaluation phases and separate accounts distinct; do not put credentials into your notes.
- 2
Check the available journal feature
TradeLocker’s current plans page lists a Pro trading journal with CSV export in browser trading. Confirm availability in your own account. Do not assume every History panel has the same export control.
- 3
Keep official evidence
Preserve the original journal export if available. If you need an official statement or an export is unavailable, request records from your broker or prop firm. A screenshot or manually copied sample should be labeled as such.

Reconcile before manual entry
Compare the record type, position identifiers, filled quantity, costs and remaining exposure. Pineify currently has no TradeLocker CSV parser, column mapper or account connection.
TradeLocker’s own journal is part of the comparison
Checked October 21, 2026: the official plans page lists a trading journal, analytics and journal CSV export under Pro. It describes notes, tags and trade evidence in Insights, with browser availability. Native notes and analytics are an option to evaluate before adding another journal.
Check the current product page and your account before choosing another journal. This guide has not tested a Pro account, its CSV columns or a third-party import. A product listing does not prove a particular file is compatible with Pineify.
Older export instructions may describe a different feature set
TradeLocker’s May 6, 2026 help article says native journal and history exports are unavailable, and suggests copied records or broker-provided reports. The current plans page now advertises journal CSV export. The two official sources differ; check journal export availability separately from the standard History panel.
If the journal export is absent in your account, check its plan and platform availability or ask the provider which report it can supply. Preserve the report’s origin and period. Do not treat a missing download button or missing history row as evidence that no trading occurred.
Closed positions, orders and balance history answer different questions
The official history guide separates Closed positions, Balance and Order history. Closed positions describe completed positions. Balance history includes cash movements and swaps. Order history can include rejected or pending activity as well as fills.
For a manual review, preserve position references and actual quantities, then identify which charges are already included in the result. Do not count a canceled order as a loss, a deposit as a winning trade or the same swap in two places.
Keep the original quantity unit and contract specification. A symbol name or the word “lot” alone does not establish the correct currency P/L calculation. If a field cannot be represented in Pineify, retain the source result externally and note the mismatch.
A closed-trade journal cannot certify a live loss limit
Fictional example, not any firm’s rule: start a day with balance 10000.00, close trades for net −100.00, and hold another position at −250.00 unrealized. Assume no deposits, credits, other charges or currency effects. Balance is 9900.00; equity is 9650.00.
If a hypothetical rule prohibited equity below 9700.00, the account would be 50.00 below that floor even though closed trades show only a 100.00 loss. A journal containing only closed trades would miss the open-position effect.
Record the provider’s actual loss definition, reference value, reset time and treatment of open positions and costs. Use its own account records for the decision. Pineify does not monitor TradeLocker challenge rules or certify compliance, and this snapshot is not a complete intraday drawdown history.
| Item | Amount | Meaning in this example |
|---|---|---|
| Starting balance | 10000.00 | No other cash flows |
| Net closed-trade result | −100.00 | Already includes assumed closed-trade costs |
| Current balance | 9900.00 | 10000.00 − 100.00 |
| Open-position P/L | −250.00 | Unrealized at this snapshot |
| Current equity | 9650.00 | 9900.00 − 250.00 |
| Hypothetical equity floor | 9700.00 | Equity is 50.00 below it |
Manual notes do not require an account integration
You do not need to supply TradeLocker credentials to Pineify for this manual workflow. That is not a general privacy guarantee for files you upload or store in a journal. Check account identifiers and personal information before sharing records.
TradeLocker’s public API supports both information requests and trading operations. The existence of that API is not evidence of a Pineify integration or of read-only permissions in another service. Review the actual access requested before connecting an account.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import a TradeLocker CSV into Pineify?
Not currently. Pineify marks Import History as Coming Soon and does not provide a TradeLocker parser or column-mapping interface.
Does TradeLocker have its own trading journal?
Its current plans page lists a Pro journal, analytics and CSV export. Check your account and browser availability. Older help instructions describe a different feature set; this guide has not tested the paid feature.
Where should I obtain an official statement?
Ask your broker or prop firm. Keep the statement separate from journal notes, screenshots and manually copied history.
Can Pineify monitor my TradeLocker challenge limits?
No. This workflow does not monitor the account or implement provider rules. Closed-trade results alone cannot establish compliance with a rule that also uses open-position equity or intraday values.
Should every row in Order history become a journal trade?
No. Check status and actual fills first. Orders, positions and cash adjustments are different record types; preserve their relationships instead of merging them indiscriminately.
Continue with a reconciled sample
For a manual review, use the Pineify Trading Journal after checking its current fields. For a separate spreadsheet, inspect the Excel journal template and its calculation assumptions. Neither path adds automatic broker import.
Review the general trade-import reconciliation checklist
Published by Pineify, which sells trading software. Instructions use the linked official documentation; examples are fictional reconciliation exercises. No live broker account or third-party import was used to validate this guide. A matching sample tests data handling, not future trading performance.
