MotiveWave Export Guide
Export MotiveWave executions for Journalit from the Account panel Executions tab as CSV. This guide shows the correct export path and notes that older history can depend on what your connected broker returns.
Bottom line
Export from the Account panel's Executions tab using the
built-in CSV export control. If older executions are missing, the limitation is often the
broker history available inside MotiveWave rather than the export step itself.
Overview
Account panel source
Journalit expects the execution export from MotiveWave's Account panel rather than orders or positions views.
Executions tab only
The export control you need appears when you are looking at executions, not unrelated account data.
Direct CSV export
Once the correct tab is open, the export itself is quick and does not require manual formatting.
Broker-limited history
Some brokers only expose a limited execution history through MotiveWave, so older trades may not be available even when you widen the date range.
What Journalit expects
Most common mistake
If the export control is missing, you are usually not on the Executions tab.
Export trades from MotiveWave
Open the Account panel
Launch MotiveWave, open your workspace, then bring up the Account panel.
Switch to Executions
Inside the Account panel, select the Executions tab.
This is the view Journalit expects for MotiveWave imports.
Open the CSV export control
Above the executions list, click the Export to CSV icon to open the export flow.
Set the starting date
Use Export Executions Since to choose the start date for the export, then confirm the resulting range covers the period you want.
Save the CSV and keep it unchanged
Save the CSV locally and import that file directly into Journalit.
Avoid opening and re-saving it in spreadsheet software before import.
Quick validation before import
Executions export
The file came from the Executions tab, not from orders, positions, or another report.
Expected date range
The export range covers the trading period you want, and the missing data is not just outside the selected window.
Broker history available
If older trades are missing, you have considered that the broker connection may not expose them inside MotiveWave.
Unedited CSV
You are importing the original exported CSV rather than a modified spreadsheet version.
