How to export from Interactive Brokers.

  1. 1

    In the IBKR portal open Performance & Reports → Flex Queries, make a query with Trades (or a Trade Confirmation one with its executions) and run it as CSV.

  2. 2

    An Activity Statement saved as CSV works too.

Then in Journalcade press Import and drop the file in. There are no columns to match.

Or connect it once Pro

Sync Interactive Brokers in three steps.

  1. 1
    Make a Flex Query

    In the IBKR portal open Performance & Reports → Flex Queries and add an Activity Flex Query. Tick Trades (Executions), set Format to XML and Period to Last 365 Calendar Days. Save it: its Query ID is the number beside it.

  2. 2
    Get a Flex token

    On the same page open Flex Web Service Configuration, turn it on and generate a token. Pick the longest it allows (up to a year). It can only read reports: it can’t trade or move money.

  3. 3
    Paste them in Journalcade

    Open Settings → Auto-sync, pick Interactive Brokers and paste them in. The first sync brings your history in; then trades come in every 6 hours, or when you press Sync now.

Questions

Quick answers.

Does Journalcade sync with Interactive Brokers?+
Yes, on Pro: connect it once in Settings, Auto-sync, with a key that can only read, and trades come in every 6 hours or when you press Sync now. Importing its export works on every plan.
Which Interactive Brokers export do I use?+
In the IBKR portal open Performance & Reports → Flex Queries, make a query with Trades (or a Trade Confirmation one with its executions) and run it as CSV. An Activity Statement saved as CSV works too.
Are my fees included?+
When the file lists the fees, they’re taken off each trade instead of your account’s fee rates; when it doesn’t, your account’s rates are used.
Is importing free?+
Yes, importing a file is on every plan; the Free plan takes 30 new trades a month. Auto-sync is Pro.
Will a trade come in twice?+
No. A trade already in your journal is matched, not copied, so you can import overlapping dates.
