Import trades from Questrade

What this does

Imports executed Questrade orders into VEXA from the broker’s Orders CSV export.

Before you start

• Use the Orders export, not an account summary or positions report.
• Set the date range deliberately before exporting.
• Keep the CSV unchanged. Renaming the file is fine, but do not delete or rename its columns.
• Questrade timestamps are interpreted in Toronto time, including daylight-saving changes.

Steps

What VEXA imports

VEXA reads executed stocks and ETFs, Questrade’s reported fees, and the executed portion of partially filled orders. Cancelled or rejected orders with no fill are ignored.

Options are supported when the export contains enough contract information to identify the expiry, strike and call or put. If those facts are incomplete, VEXA rejects the ambiguous row instead of inventing a contract.

What you should see

The result panel should identify the file as Questrade Orders and show the accepted and skipped row counts. Open one imported trade and compare its quantity, execution price, time and fees with Questrade before importing a large history.

If it doesn’t work

• The format is not recognized. Export the Orders report from Accounts → Activity and upload the original CSV.
• No trades were imported. Check that the selected range contains executed or partially filled orders, not only open, cancelled or rejected orders.
• An option row was rejected. The export did not contain a complete, unambiguous contract description.
• A trade appears on the wrong day. Confirm that the export came from the Questrade web platform and that its timestamps were not edited in a spreadsheet.
