Bybit Export Guide
Export Bybit trade history for Journalit from Trade History as CSV. This guide shows the correct Bybit trade-history export flow, explains why Closed P&L is the wrong source, and helps you avoid pulling the wrong transaction-history or statement export.
Bottom line
In Bybit, export Trade History as CSV. Do not use Closed P&L,
the wrong account statement, or another transaction-history view as your Journalit import source.
Overview
Trade History required
Journalit expects the individual fill-level trade data from Trade History, not the summarised Closed P&L view.
Derivatives path
For the standard export flow, you will usually be working inside Unified Trading Order → Derivatives.
Long-range fallback
If you need a longer export window, Bybit's Data Export page supports larger ranges with slower processing.
Watch export delays
Some exports are not instant, and recent data may not be available until the next day.
What Journalit expects
Most common mistake
If commissions are missing or the import fails, you probably exported Closed P&L
instead of Trade History.
Export recent history from Bybit
Open the Orders area
Sign in to Bybit, open Orders from the top navigation, and choose Unified Trading Order.
Switch to Derivatives Trade History
Go to the Derivatives tab and select Trade History.
Do not stay on Closed P&L. That view is summarised and does not provide the data Journalit expects.
Filter the market you want
If you trade multiple contract types, narrow the export to the correct market such as USDT Perpetual before exporting.
Export the CSV
Click Export, choose the time range you want, then click Export Now. Once processing finishes, download the CSV file.
Export longer history with Data Export
If the normal Orders-page export window is not enough, use Bybit's dedicated export area instead.
Open Data Export
Go to Profile → Account → Data Export, or open the Bybit Data Export page directly.
Choose the correct export type
Select Order History as the data type, then choose the export option that covers your Bybit perpetual trading history.
Request the export
Set the time range, click Export Now, and wait for processing. This path can take significantly longer than the regular Orders-page export.
Download before expiry
When the status changes to Exported, download the file promptly. Bybit's download links expire after 7 days.
Quick validation before import
Correct source
You exported Trade History, not Closed P&L.
Correct market
If needed, you filtered to the correct Bybit contract type before exporting.
Expected data shape
The export contains individual trades and commissions, not only summarised position results.
Date coverage checked
If you expected today's trades, remember Bybit may only make that data available the next day.
