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