Bulk Uploading Private Accounts via CSV

If you have multiple private accounts to add at once, you can upload them all in a single CSV file rather than creating each account manually.

Before you start

Your platform and broker names in the CSV must exactly match the names set up in Settings → Categories & Tags — including capitalisation.

→ See: Categories & Tags Settings


Step 1: Download the template

Go to the Private Accounts page. Click the template icon in the toolbar above the data table (top right). Open the file in your spreadsheet app.

Step 2: Fill in your data

Field

Format

Example

Account Name

Any name you want

Main

Account Number

88291047

Platform

Must match exactly what's in Settings → Categories & Tags

MT5

Broker

Must match exactly what's in Settings → Categories & Tags

IC Markets

Current Balance

7500

Starting Balance

A correctly filled row looks like this:

10000

10000

Paused

Step 3: Export as CSV

Save or export the file as .csv before uploading.

Step 4: Upload

On the Private Accounts page, click the upload icon above the data table. Select your CSV file. Entries will appear at the top of the table.


After uploading: finishing each entry

Click Edit on each imported account to set the starting balance currency — this can't be set via CSV. Once saved, the account is fully recognised and will contribute to your dashboard data.


A note on balances

The Current Balance and Starting Balance you enter in the CSV are a snapshot at the time of import. If you want to track historical deposits and withdrawals for a more accurate net P&L calculation, use the Transactions import after setting up your accounts.

Common mistakes

  • 7,500 instead of 7500 — no commas in any number field

  • active instead of Active — capitalisation is required

  • A broker name that doesn't exist yet in Settings → Categories & Tags — add it there first

  • Leaving Current Balance and Starting Balance the same when they're not — this will make your P&L show as $0
