How to get your thinkorswim trades in

Use the menu to Export to File and save the CSV
In OptiqJournal open Import, leave the broker on auto-detect or pick thinkorswim (Schwab), and drop the file in

What gets read

The Account Trade History section is used, including stocks, options and futures executions with their times. The statement does not list commissions, so set your per-share and per-contract fees in Settings. Re-importing an overlapping date range skips executions that are already stored.

What you get after the import

Trades paired from your fills, with scale-ins, partial exits and shorts handled
A dashboard, calendar and equity curve
Setups, tags and mistakes ready to apply to each trade
A daily Coach review and plan for the next session
