Exporting Your Trades

TraderNest allows you to export your trade data to a CSV file for use in external analysis tools, tax reporting, record keeping, or as a backup. This article explains how to export, what data is included, and common use cases.

Plan requirement: Trade export is available on the Starter plan and above. Free plan users do not have access to the export feature.

How to Export Your Trades

1

Go to the Trades Page

Click Trades in the left sidebar to open your trade history.

2

Apply Filters (Optional)

If you want to export only a subset of your trades, apply the relevant filters first (date range, exchange, pair, direction, etc.). The export will include only the trades currently displayed in the table. If you want to export everything, make sure "All Time" is selected and no filters are active.

3

Click the Export Button

Look for the "Export" button at the top of the Trades page (usually near the filter bar or in the top-right corner). Click it to start the export.

4

Download the CSV File

Your browser will download a CSV file containing your trade data. The file is named with the export date and any active filters for easy identification (e.g., tradernest-trades-2026-03-15.csv).

What Data is Included

The exported CSV file contains the following columns for each trade:

  • Trade ID — A unique identifier for the trade.
  • Exchange — The exchange where the trade occurred.
  • Pair — The trading pair (e.g., BTCUSDT).
  • Direction — Long or Short.
  • Entry Price — The price at which the position was opened.
  • Exit Price — The price at which the position was closed.
  • Position Size — The size of the position.
  • Realized P&L — Profit or loss on the trade.
  • Fees — Total fees for the trade.
  • Net P&L — P&L after fees.
  • Open Date — When the position was opened.
  • Close Date — When the position was closed.
  • Duration — How long the trade was open.
  • Tags — Any tags you have applied to the trade.
  • Notes — Your trade review notes (if any).

Common Use Cases

Tax Reporting

Many tax jurisdictions require you to report gains and losses from cryptocurrency trading. The exported CSV provides all the data a tax professional or tax software needs: trade dates, amounts, P&L, and fees. You can import this file into crypto tax software or share it with your accountant.

External Analysis

If you want to run your own analysis in Excel, Google Sheets, Python, or another tool, the CSV export gives you a clean dataset to work with. You can create custom charts, run statistical analysis, or build your own models using your TraderNest data.

Backup

Exporting your trades periodically creates a backup of your trading data that you control. While TraderNest securely stores your data, having a local copy gives you extra peace of mind.

Tip: Consider exporting your trades monthly as part of your trading review routine. This gives you a local archive and makes tax preparation much easier at the end of the year.
