There are 4 methods to import your data.

There are some issues parsing options data so you may not see underlyings, expiration date or price for some options.

Method 3:

From Questrade's website:

• Go to Questrade's web site and log in to your account.
• Select Account from the drop-down menu.
• Make sure all columns are checked to be exported.
• Select the date range you wish to export and then select "View Report".
• Export the report to a CSV file.

Method 4:

Import your activities. It cannot skip duplicate trades due to the lack of full timestamps that can also impact charts and time based metrics. We recommend using the other methods that offer full timestamps. Activities file can be in either .csv or .xlsx formats.

If you get a generic error message importing your excel file, open the file, make sure you enable editing and that it's not in "Protected View" mode. If it is, enable editing and save it before uploading.
