Your first 14 days are on us. Full Access, no card needed.How VEXA imports your Charles Schwab trades
-
Choose Schwab in VEXA and select Connect with Schwab. SnapTrade, VEXA's connection partner, opens Schwab's own sign-in page, so VEXA never sees your broker password.
-
Sign in with your Schwab login, complete any verification Schwab asks for, approve the read-only connection and choose which brokerage accounts to link.
-
The first sync imports the stock, ETF and options history Schwab exposes, roughly four years, including the commissions and fees Schwab reports.
-
VEXA then syncs automatically every day, or whenever you choose Sync Now. Automatic sync is a Pro feature; a thinkorswim or schwab.com CSV works on every account.

What VEXA does with your Charles Schwab trades
Importing is the boring half. Once your fills are in, VEXA rebuilds each round trip, scores how you traded it, and keeps a record you can actually argue with.
The journal writes itself
Every fill becomes a trade with the entry, exit, size, fees and net result already filled in. Daily, weekly and monthly journals are built from that, so your review starts with reading rather than typing.
A CDI score, updated daily
VEXA grades Confidence, Discipline and Intuition from how you actually traded, not just what you made. It is a patent-pending framework (US App #64/030,397) and the score moves with your activity each day.
Your rules, graded every trading day
Set the limits you want to hold yourself to, like a daily loss cap or a maximum position size, and VEXA marks each day against them so a broken rule is a fact rather than a feeling.
Playbooks that show what works
Tag your setups and VEXA tracks each one across enough trades to say something meaningful about it, instead of leaving you to judge an edge from the last three results.
Patterns you would not catch by eye
VEXA reads your history for repeated behaviour: the hour you tend to give profit back, the size you jump to after a loss, the setup you keep taking when conditions do not suit it.
A coach you can talk to
Ask about a single trade, a bad week, or your last drawdown, by chat or out loud by voice. The answers come from your own imported trades rather than generic advice.
VEXA is an educational tool for reviewing your own trading. It does not provide financial advice, and it never places orders or moves money in your broker account.
Charles Schwab questions, answered
The things people ask before connecting Charles Schwab. If yours is not here, the help centre goes deeper, and you can always ask us directly.
Yes, for Pro accounts. VEXA connects through SnapTrade with your own Schwab login, imports roughly four years of stocks, ETFs and options on the first sync, then syncs every day and whenever you choose Sync Now.
Only when Schwab asks for a fresh sign-in, for example after a password change. VEXA shows a Reconnect Schwab prompt and reconnecting takes one login. Your trades are not affected.
No. The connection is read-only, so VEXA cannot place, change or cancel orders. It only reads the accounts you linked and their trade history, and it never sees your Schwab password.
SnapTrade is the connection partner VEXA uses to reach Schwab and a number of other brokers. You sign in with Schwab inside SnapTrade's portal, and the connection it creates is read-only.
No. Use your migrated Schwab credentials and export from Schwab or thinkorswim. The old TD Ameritrade export layout is not a supported format.
For VEXA they are interchangeable, so use whichever you find faster. There is one exception. If an old options trade looks wrong after import, re-export that period from thinkorswim rather than schwab.com, because option symbols on very old schwab.com exports do not always map correctly.
Symbol, Date/Time, Side, Quantity, Price and Net Amount. They are all in the standard export, but thinkorswim lets you hide columns, so right-click the header row and add back any that are missing before you export. Exporting only the cash activity section gives you a file with no trades in it at all.
The connection imports roughly four years on the first sync, which is what Schwab exposes. A thinkorswim or schwab.com file export reaches roughly two years and works on every account.
