Quantprove needs a numeric result for each completed trade. When several numeric columns could be the result, the importer asks you to choose.

Choose the result column#

Select the column that represents the final outcome of each trade. Common examples include profit and loss, net P&L, points, or R result.

Check that:

  • wins are positive and losses are negative;
  • the column uses one unit;
  • totals and balances are not mixed with trade results;
  • blank cells do not represent completed trades.

Choose the date column#

Use the date that identifies when the trade belongs in the Journal. Keep the format consistent and confirm that day and month have not been swapped.

Understand duplicates#

Journal import adds only new trades. A duplicate count means Quantprove found rows that match trades already in the Journal and left them out.

Correct a completed import#

  1. Select Undo import from the success screen when it is still available.
  2. Correct the source file or mapping.
  3. Import again.
  4. Confirm the new and duplicate counts.

Use Fix a failed upload if the importer cannot read the file.
