MotiveWave

MotiveWave allows you to export your trade history directly from the desktop application’s Account panel.

Exporting from MotiveWave

1. In the MotiveWave desktop application, open the Account panel (bottom left).
2. Switch to its Trades tab.
3. Use Export above the trade list and save the result as a CSV file.

Large histories: MotiveWave puts at most 2,000 executions in one export by default. If you have more, raise that limit in the Trade History settings first, or export in smaller date ranges.

Import To Trandence

1. Open Trandence and go to the Trades page.
2. Click Import Trades and select Upload CSV/TXT.
3. Choose MotiveWave as the broker.
4. Set CSV Timezone to the timezone used by the broker export. For most US equities workflows, this is America/New_York.
5. Optionally apply an import preset if you use saved defaults for this account.
6. Select or drop the exported CSV file.
7. Review the parsed trades before saving. Confirm symbols, side, open/close times, quantity, prices, commissions, and the session date range.
8. Use Batch Tags to label the import, for example MotiveWave Main or MW June.
9. Click Import & Review Summary to save the import and open the post-import summary.

For the full import workflow, including presets, preview validation, multi-session progress, and conflict review, see Importing Trades.

What Trandence Reads

Trandence reads Symbol, Time, Action, Quantity, Price, and Commission. MotiveWave timestamps include their own offset, so the file timestamp is used as the source of truth.

Trandence keeps supported US equity symbols, including common share-class formats such as BRK.A and BRK.B, and organizes the imported executions into completed trades for review.

Conflict Handling

If imported rows overlap with trades already in Trandence, use Review Conflicts to compare them before saving. The safest default is Keep Existing, which preserves the trade already in your account.

If you need to replace existing data, delete or correct the existing trades first, then import the file again intentionally. You can review completed imports from Import History.
