Lightspeed Holdings, LLC Import Instructions

  • Lightspeed Holdings, LLC  (formerly E*Trade Professional)
  • In their Clearing Trades report Lightspeed uses option symbols for option trades rather than option descriptions.  Therefore, when manually entering your open option positions from last tax year, you must enter them using the proper option symbol so that TradeLog can properly match them with the closing positions upon import.

There are two types of Lightspeed reports that can be imported into TradeLog:

  1. Clearing Trades report  (for trade history from Oct 1, 2004 onward)
  2. Southwest Securities Daily Confirm report (for trade history prior to Oct 1, 2004)
