-
Your trades will be automatically imported and matched.
PLEASE NOTE: Since some options were reported with the underlying stock description rather than a stock ticker symbol, TradeLog will prompt you to look up the ticker symbol via the web. Sometimes the description will result in multiple companies which match or partially match the description. A popup selection box will allow you to select the proper underlying stock ticker symbol, or the enter it yourself.
It looks like Etrade may be moving to providing the underlying stock ticker symbol in it's most recent transaction history format update. If the underlying stock ticker symbol is provided, Tradelog® will use this instead.
