Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program despite trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
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.
Journalit expects the execution export from MotiveWave's Account panel rather than orders or positions views.
The export control you need appears when you are looking at executions, not unrelated account data.
Once the correct tab is open, the export itself is quick and does not require manual formatting.
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.
Launch MotiveWave, open your workspace, then bring up the Account panel.
Inside the Account panel, select the Executions tab.
This is the view Journalit expects for MotiveWave imports.
Above the executions list, click the Export to CSV icon to open the export flow.
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 locally and import that file directly into Journalit.
Avoid opening and re-saving it in spreadsheet software before import.
The file came from the Executions tab, not from orders, positions, or another report.
The export range covers the trading period you want, and the missing data is not just outside the selected window.
If older trades are missing, you have considered that the broker connection may not expose them inside MotiveWave.
You are importing the original exported CSV rather than a modified spreadsheet version.
Continue to the Trade Import guide to map, preview, and import the exported execution file into Journalit.
See how broker exports become mapped, validated, and imported into Journalit.
See how imported trades become notes, screenshots, dashboards, and reviews in your own vault.
