Trade Log
Echo Trade Log Summary
To view the trade log, click on the Trade Log tab in the navigation. This shows your trading activity across every connection you've made through Echo Trader.
The page has two views, switched with the toggle above the table:
| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Round Trips | Completed trades — each entry paired with its exit, with quantity, entry and exit price, and gross P&L. |
| Orders | Every individual order as it happens, including working, filled, and canceled orders. |
Round Trips is the default. Your choice is remembered the next time you open the page.
Round Trips
A round trip is a completed trade: you entered a position and closed it. Entries are paired with exits first-in-first-out, the same way your broker reports them.
Above the table you'll see totals for whatever is currently displayed — Total P&L, Trades, and Win Rate. These respect any column filters you've applied, so filtering to a single symbol or account updates them too.
A few things worth knowing:
- Open positions don't appear here. A round trip shows up once the position is closed. Until then you'll see the fills on the Orders view.
- One order can produce several rows. If you enter once and scale out across two exits, that's two round trips — each with its own quantity and P&L.
- P&L is gross. It's calculated from price difference, quantity, and the contract's point value. Commissions and fees aren't included.
- If a contract's point value isn't configured, P&L shows as
--rather than a number that might be wrong.
Viewing other dates
Round Trips has a date picker next to the view toggle. Today is the default.
Today updates live — round trips appear as you close positions, with no refresh needed.
Past dates come from your synced trade history. If a day looks empty but you know you traded, it probably hasn't been synced yet — use the Sync Orders button shown on the empty state to pull it in. Trade data is retained for 90 days.
Orders
The Orders view is the live order feed. As long as "Live Updates" shows "Connected" at the top of the screen and your connection(s) are active, the table populates in real time as orders are placed, filled, or canceled.
It's a best practice to monitor these real-time updates and take action if you see any unexpected orders.
Exporting
Click Export to download your trades as a CSV file, ready for a spreadsheet or your accountant.
The export popover lets you pick a date range — with quick presets for Today, 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days, or specific start and end dates. Exports cover the last 90 days, matching how long trade data is retained.
The file contains one row per round trip:
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Entry Time, Exit Time | ISO timestamps |
| Connection, Account | |
| Symbol, Action, Quantity | |
| Entry Price, Exit Price | Plain numbers, so they can be summed |
| Gross P&L | Before commissions and fees |
| Entry Order ID, Exit Order ID | Both are needed to identify a row — scaling out of one entry produces several rows sharing an Entry Order ID |
Export is available on every plan, including Free. You'll also find it on the Trade Journal calendar and on each day's journal page, where it defaults to the dates you're looking at.
Searching and Sorting Trades
Any column in either view can be searched using the box under the column header, and any column can be sorted. Use Edit Columns to show or hide columns — your layout is remembered per view.
