Importing your Trading 212 history into a portfolio tracker
Trading 212 lets you export your history as a CSV file, and a tracker can turn that file into a list of trades and positions without you typing them. This guide explains what the file contains, which rows Allocaria reads as trades, which it leaves out, and what to check before the result is saved.

Getting the file
The Trading 212 app and web platform offer an export of your history as a CSV file. The exact menu names change from time to time, and the platform may limit how long a period one export can cover. Choose the longest period offered; if the history has to be split across several files, bring the files in one after another.
Choose the CSV format, not a PDF statement: a PDF is made for reading, not as a table.
Make sure the export includes your orders.
An export of only dividends, interest or cash movements holds no trades.
What the file looks like
Each row is one event, and the type of the event is in the Action column. The columns used to list the trades are Action, Time, Ticker, ISIN, No. of shares, Price / share and the currency of the price. The file carries more columns than that, such as totals and fees; they are not needed to list the trades and are not read.
What is read as a trade
A row whose Action is a purchase or a sale becomes a proposed trade. The direction word in the Action column decides, whatever the order type.
The date comes from the Time column; the time of day is dropped.
A price quoted in pence on a London listing (shown as GBX) is converted to pounds, so it matches the currency of the position.
Deposits, withdrawals, dividends, interest and other cash rows are counted and reported as not read. They never become trades.
Fees are not read: the table shows a fee of 0 for the person to compare with the statement.
Checking the table before saving
What is read from a file is a proposal, not a record. The rows appear in a table, and nothing is added to the portfolio until the person has looked at them and confirmed.
Compare the number of trades with the count in your Trading 212 history, check a few rows against the statement (date, quantity and price) and fill in anything the table shows as missing. After saving, the quantity of each position ought to match what the broker shows.
Common questions
No. Only the exported file is read. No password, login or key is asked for, and nothing is placed or changed at the broker.
No. Only purchases and sales are read. Dividend and interest rows are counted and reported as not read, so they are never turned into trades.
Brokers change their exports from time to time, and the reader follows the layout of Trading 212 files as published and as public samples show it. A file that does not match is either refused with a plain reason or shown with the missing pieces empty, never guessed. A screenshot, a pasted list or the form still work.
