The following are unsolicited testimonials from many of our users, and are provided here to demonstrate how easy our schedule d wash sales software is to use, how much time it can save, and the level of support you can expect from us.
I have to say again how great TradeLog is! The Interactive Brokers web import process was a breeze. No errors after importing all months for all accounts! The positions reconciled perfectly, even though I often receive multiple (>10) fills per order. TradeLog knows to treat these as one order (unlike my portfolio management software). I especially like the new 1099 reconciliation feature. I used to do this manually in TradeLog after importing the year’s transactions. Now it’s quick and simple and I have a report to verify the reconciliation. The 1099 reconciliation process and the Dec 31 or Jan 31 position verification are quick and easy, yet effective in giving me the confidence that all data have been imported correctly and accurately. Thanks for making TradeLog so powerful and easy to use! I will be a customer for along time.

Thank heavens I found your software and will hopefully avoid a painful audit.

I love TradeLog Tax software. Couldn't do my taxes without it. I have been using it for four years. I never have to call support. It just works.
M. Calvert
The TradeLog software helps me tremendously with minimizing my tax related activities. Especially Mark to Market accounting. Great customer support!
D. Bebber
Excellent software combined with very responsive customer service - easy-to-use and very effective for complex purposes -- simple and affordable
P. Slavin
I purchased and used the software last year for my option trading and it's great. Auto wash-sales calc and great reporting tools. Love the software.
J. Kruger
Just a short note to say how pleased I am with TradeLog.
I am a new user. Before purchasing TradeLog, I tried creating a Schedule D using Excel. The process took 4 hours, and I neglected to account for wash sales! Now, after purchasing TradeLog, viewing the Tutorial, and placing a couple calls to Tech Support, I have imported 262 trades and created an accurate Schedule D, with Wash Sales, in less than 5 minutes! And this was with a non-supported broker (Rydex Funds), using Excel Text Import.
Thanks for a great product! I will be a customer for a long time.

I have to say that your TradeLog software is amazing. I purchased your product last Sunday. By Tuesday morning I had balanced two very involved and detailed accounts. Last year my accountant charged me $1,500 for this work. I have to say that you definitely have a winner here. Even if you aren’t an “active’ trader, your software can be a godsend.
I will definitely be telling my investor friends about this program. As a former hedge fund manager on Wall Street, these type of tools are always welcomed. Thanks again.
G. Gratny
You have no idea how helpful this program is, not just for tax affairs but for my trading and money management strategy. Thank you very, very much for an essential product!

Dear David,
It was great to see how quickly, and willingly, you were to help me solve my software issue the other day. As a trader, I would rather spend my time analyzing the markets than worrying about software issues. I have had issues with other software programs recently and none of them gave me the high quality of support that your company did. I feel that the extra money spent for the upgrades and support was worth every cent. I would highly recommend your product to other traders.
Thank you,
A. Virola
I have previously tried 4-5 different money management software packages, all of which required manual data entry. I've found your software to be far more user friendly and because the data is directly downloaded from my broker, I don't have to worry about typing errors. I would guess your software will save me about 30 minutes a day in managing my records -- and I am truly grateful for that. It really is too bad that your product is not more widely known as I think a lot more traders could benefit from using it.
Best wishes for spreading the good word about your very useful software.

Your product paid for itself in one use for me. I had spent 4 hours importing 298 trades into turbotax. Only to lose all of it upon finishing (Turbotax locked up). Finally I bit the bullet and bought tradelog1000. After watching the tutorial it took me all of 25 minutes to dump trades from IB - Tradelog - TXTfile - Turbotax.
Good trading to you,
C Bondy
Thank you!!!!! for the e-mail an the phone support. The software is the best I have seen an I believe the price is very good. As far as your support well let me say it is one of the best experiences I have had. As for "NOREEN" I would not let her get away not only was she very knowledgeable about the software she made me feel like it was a honor to HELP ME. That is a QUALITY your company should not let go unnoticed, not to mention the quick call back. Look forward to having your software for many years to come. Thanks To NOREEN and your company
R. Hunault
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the support I have gotten from TradeLog, and GREAT the software program is. Hope you all advertise it more to the public so everyone will know it exists. Again, thanks.
R. Cox
Your returning feature which indicates how many records we are importing is truly nice on the latest TradeLog. It helps and underscores the exceptional functionality of your program.
Thank you. Extend our sincerest thanks to David Eich.
G. Tzanetatos
your software has outperformed ms money and quicken for calculating capital gains and losses. it's easy to use and extremely accurate. thx
G. Lamm
Feeling in control again: I am in awe and shock...
I have accomplished in a little over an hour that which I would have miserably
failed in 2 weeks of mental gymnastics trying and failing to match unequal wash
sales. And I went back to 2003 for 2 brokerages with 4 data files the biggest
being only 123 records. This software also has some great tracking features.
S. Posey
This is a fantastic program. It will save me many hours vs. the data entry that I was doing on a Lotus spreadsheet. I typically spent 2 to 3 hours every weekend entering the trades for the previous week. The program does it in seconds...and it is accurate to the penny because I checked it.
D. Belt
Without a doubt, the support you give TradeLog is among the best.
D. Johnson
TradeLog solves a very serious problem for me. I have been spending an hour a day posting my transactions into lotus worksheets to track profit and loss. I started TradeLog last week and in very little time I can produce the analytical and tax reports on about 2000 trades a year. This gives me time for productive purposes and research to find winning trades. The instructions are clear and almost automatic. Trade log increases my profits by eliminating non productive steps.
S. Lieberman
Just to let you know, what used to take Candy and I weeks to prep for tax
time, now takes us minutes using GTT TradeLog. As you know we are on our third
year renewal. Your software is fantastic and worth the every penny!
All the best
R. Horwitz
I am using your latest version. It is awesome. Your tutorial is extremely good. Please accept my congratulations for such a powerful product with nice tutorial and support. Best regards,
M. Jay
Several years ago, I spent an agonizing month matching up over 1,000 round trip trades from my year end broker’s statement which only listed the individual buys and sells . It was take the time to match those trades, or pay the $60 hourly rate at my accountant’s for them to do it. Their estimate was 12 hours. My actual time was well over 40 hours spread over 30 days. What a nightmare.
Shortly thereafter I heard about TradeLog and how this software would pull the trades from my broker and enter them, match them, and produce a Gains/Losses schedule accepted by the IRS. I couldn’t buy it fast enough!
To my enormous satisfaction, TradeLog did more for me than produce a year-end schedule. It tracked my trades and produced daily reports so I knew exactly what was open, at what price, when I bought or sold short, and the commissions I was paying. Further, with its additional excellent reports, I could finally easily determine my equity curve and my expectancy rates.
Over time, I found myself attempting to place better trades, cutting the losses short, and performing better all around, just so I could watch that equity curve rise. When I would run into problems with my understanding of the software, a quick email was always promptly returned – with a complete explanation.
This software has been an aid to my trading…and a time savings beyond belief.

TradeLog is the Holy Grail that facilitates matches flawlessly.

Armen Computing, LTD. Attn: David Eich RE: Chicago Option Traders Education Group (OTEG)
I just wanted to thank you for the chance to download your program and explore all the options. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the final results. My recommendation to the Chicago group will be “everyone needs this program”, it’s well worth the investment!
The program itself only took a few minutes to download and set up for use. I did encounter a few problems in downloading my data with Microsoft Money loaded on my system. Once I deleted Microsoft Money the entire years data loaded and the first report was run in minutes, matching everything. The software provides all the reports to print out and attach to your final tax documents.
Upon running the performance report the grim reality hit me in the face of just where I was making my trade mistakes and it actually showed me where my trading is profitable according to size and profit. It really makes a difference when you can see a total picture of your trading year.
David, once again I think every trader should have this software! Thank you for the opportunity to preview this software.
Jim Feilen
I ran TradeLog yesterday for the first time, and within a couple of hours was able to discover all of its features, and use it effectively. I was thrilled to see the literally hundreds of hours it will save me! I was really happy that I did not settle for the shareware or the $39 products that are out there. Your prompt response on a weekend was beyond my expectations, and your e-mail today reiterating the other uses for the software shows a real concern for your customers. A million thanks!
A. Strasser
I well remember the terror of trying to figure out what I was going to do with 300 pages of trades last year with the end of a tax extension breathing down my neck. I can not imagine a more valuable tool for anyone who makes frequent trades when tax time runs out. Thanks for your support. For that matter, thanks for being there with a product that is a lifesaver! Thanks again.
D. Finch
Your program works extremely well.. I was able to import all 12,000 transactions from 5 different brokers without a single error! I was really concerned that creating a schedule d would be time consuming and confusing, but your program made it easy.. well worth the price.. thanks
W. Van Dyke
I have just received my statement for 2001 trades from Schwab, I had a total of 5070 records for the year totaling over 34 million in trades. Both the buy and sell columns match to the penny on my GTT reports. This thing is great!!!
K. Campbell
Before trying your program I was struggling with the import functions of many other applications such as xxxx. When I tried TradeLog, I was instantly able to import 4010 trades for 2 brokerage accounts and ran the schedule D report in less than 30 minutes. It's safe to say I was more than impressed. This is the best $ I have spent all year. Keep up the good work,
K. Boakye
I just bought your program & imported almost 1753 trades in no time at all! I'm a Mac person so this PC stuff is still new to me. Think of all the work you saved me. I was quaking in my boots thinking about that project! Thanx & blessings!
B. Footer
Your software has been a life saver. I trade the same 8 stocks - 30 trades total a week and 1500 trades in a year. My wash sales are a nightmare as you can imagine. Your software figured the mess out in about 30 minutes for tax year 2001. THANKS
D. Wahlstrom
All I have to say is WOW!! I love it. You are a genius. It's probably one of the easiest and most efficient programs to use that I've ever encountered. I am just amazed that I was able to print out a "Gains & Losses - Wash Sale Adjusted Report" for the year in literally just a matter of seconds. The program could not be any easier to use. Thanks again.
