Import History From a Date
Choose whether your robot imports all available history or only trades after a date you pick
Accounts synced by a TradeLog robot (MT4, MT5, cTrader, NinjaTrader) can limit how far back trade history is imported. By default the robot imports everything it can read; if you would rather start your journal from a specific point — say, the current funding cycle — set an import date instead.
Where to Find It
- 1Open Accounts from the sidebar.
- 2Open the synced account's settings (edit the account).
- 3Find 'Import History From' and switch from 'All Available History' to 'From a Date'.
- 4Pick the calendar date and save.
How the Date Works
- Only closed trades are filtered: a trade closed before your chosen date is skipped during import; a trade closed on or after it is imported.
- Open positions are never filtered — they are current state, not history.
- The setting affects future syncs only. Trades already in your journal are not removed; delete them manually if you don't want them.
- The date is a calendar day — there is no time-of-day component.
Not the Same as Fresh Start
Crypto exchanges and Tradovate work differently — they are pull connections, and their sync window is chosen on the connection itself when you connect, not per account.
