IMPORTANT NOTES:
-
Ameritrade limits the number of transactions per page to 200, therefore you must select and copy one page at a time till all of your trades have been imported. If you have more than a few pages to import, we suggest you switch to the CSV file import.
-
It has been noticed that the last trade transaction on a page is sometimes duplicated on the top of the next page, resulting in mismatched trade in TradeLog due to these duplicate entries. Please review the last trade on each page and the first trade on the next page to see if this is the case.
After importing you may use the TradeLog Find, Duplicate Trades function to locate these to delete one of them.
