Frequently Asked Questions

Is InsightTrader compatible with TradeStation?+

Yes — InsightTrader supports TradeStation Trade History CSV exports. Simply export from TradeStation Desktop (Account → Trade History → Export CSV) and upload the file. We auto-detect the format and import all fills.

What TradeStation export format should I use?+

Export the "Trade History" report from TradeStation Desktop (not the Position Statement or Account Balance). Set a date range that includes all your trades, then right-click or use the Export button to save as CSV.

Does it handle TradeStation options (OCC symbols)?+

Yes — InsightTrader correctly parses TradeStation's OCC-format option symbols (e.g., "AAPL 250117C00150000") and reconstructs them into clean, human-readable strategy entries with correct expiry, strike, and put/call data.

Can it import futures trades from TradeStation?+

Absolutely. Futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, GC, MES, MNQ, etc.) are fully supported and tracked separately from equities and options, with appropriate contract multipliers applied to P&L calculations.

How is this different from TradeStation's built-in reports?+

TradeStation's native reports show raw fills and basic P&L. InsightTrader adds multi-leg strategy reconstruction, behavioral pattern detection, time-of-day analysis, AI coaching, and a visual dashboard designed for performance improvement.

What's included in the free tier?+

Free includes 30 days of history, up to 200 trades, and 5 imports/month — enough to fully evaluate the experience with your own TradeStation data. No credit card required.
