Export the execution history from Breakout Terminal, then import the original trades.csv file with Journalit's native Breakout Terminal adapter. The adapter reconstructs trades from opening and closing executions while preserving the source identifiers, fees, and settled P&L.
Use trades.csv
A Breakout export can include several CSV files. Upload trades.csv to Journalit.
Do not substitute positions.csv, open-orders.csv, or
closed-orders.csv.
This guide covers exports created by Breakout Terminal.
Use trades.csv, the historical execution ledger expected by the adapter.
Choose Breakout Terminal in Trade Import. Manual Mapping is not required for the standard export.
Do not rename headings, remove rows, or re-save the CSV through spreadsheet software.

CSV
Market, Side, Type, Position, Price, Quantity, Date & time, Settled P&L, Order ID, Trade ID, and Fee
Native Breakout Terminal broker adapter
Include opening executions as well as their later closing executions
Breakout Terminal only
Choose this adapter only when the file came from Breakout Terminal and contains the execution columns listed above. A legacy DXtrade export or a differently structured report is not the same format.
Sign in to Breakout Terminal and select the account whose history you want to import. Check the account carefully if you switch between evaluation, funded, or separate trading accounts.
Use Breakout Terminal's export or download control for account trade data. The exact control label can vary between Terminal versions, but the downloaded export should include a file named trades.csv.
If the download contains multiple CSV files, select trades.csv. This is the file that records opening and closing executions together with timestamps, quantities, identifiers, fees, and settled P&L.
Save the export without editing it. Spreadsheet applications can silently change timestamps, large identifiers, decimal precision, or delimiters.
In Journalit, open Trade Import, choose the destination account, select Breakout Terminal as the broker, and upload trades.csv.
A position snapshot is not the historical opening and closing execution ledger expected by the adapter.
Open orders do not provide the completed execution history needed to reconstruct imported trades.
Closed order records are not a substitute for the trades.csv execution rows used for pairing and fee attribution.
Contains the execution markers and identifiers Journalit uses to pair entries, exits, scale-ins, and partial closes.
Before confirming the import, compare the preview with a few known Breakout trades.
Check that the recovered trades cover the intended account and history range.
Compare long or short direction, total entry size, and any remaining open quantity.
Check entry and exit prices and make sure the displayed dates match the source executions.
Compare commission, gross P&L, and net P&L with the values represented by the Breakout export.
Continue to Trade Import to preview, validate, and confirm trades.csv.
