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.

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.

Troubleshooting

Next steps

Import the MotiveWave file

Continue to the Trade Import guide to map, preview, and import the exported execution file into Journalit.
