Export your trade history
Broker imports start with a CSV from your broker or trading platform. Look for an activity, orders, reports or trade history area, set the date range, then download the file in CSV format. If you have used the broker for multiple financial years, export enough history to include the original buys for any positions you later sold.
OpenFolio uses the trade history to build holdings, cost bases and realised gains. The import works best when the file includes ticker, date, side, quantity, price, currency and fees. Some brokers name these columns differently, so the importer normalises supported formats before showing the parsed preview.
Review before confirming
After upload, check the parsed preview rather than accepting it blindly. Confirm that buys and sells are in the right direction, quantities match the broker export, brokerage or fees are included and foreign-currency trades have the expected currency. This review step is where small source-file issues are easiest to catch.
Once confirmed, OpenFolio turns trades into current holdings and disposal records. Cost bases and splits are handled from the transaction data, and sells are matched against available buys for CGT reporting. If a sell cannot be matched, it usually means the earlier buy history is missing from the imported records.
Use a broker-specific guide
Each broker places exports in a different menu, so use the matching CSV guide when one is available. The broker guides reuse OpenFolio integration data and list the export steps followed by the OpenFolio import steps.
