How to Import FxJournalStats Trades into Notion

FxJournalStats can export your uploaded platform trades in a Notion-friendly CSV format. This is useful when you analyze trades from platforms like TradingView, MT5, cTrader, Tradovate, or Custom Upload, then want to bring those trades back into a Notion trading journal.

The Notion CSV export focuses on clean journal fields such as Account, Date, Direction, Pairs, and Profit/Loss. Optional journal fields like model, tags, rating, and session are left blank so you can fill them inside Notion.

Before You Start #

You need:

• Uploaded trades in FxJournalStats.
• A Notion trading journal database.
• Matching or similar database columns for Account, Date, Direction, Pairs, and Profit/Loss.

If you do not already have a trading journal database, duplicate the FxJournalStats Notion trading journal template first. The template gives you a database with the right trading journal structure before you import your CSV.

Importing into an existing database is recommended. If you import the CSV into a blank Notion page, Notion may create a brand new database and guess the property types incorrectly. For example, fields like Followed rules may become text instead of a checkbox, or Profit/Loss may need to be changed manually to a number property.

If your Notion database uses formula columns for values like DOW, Month, Year, WIN, or BE, keep those formulas in Notion. The CSV export does not need to fill them.

Step 1: Open Upload Settings #

1. Filter the Trades You Want to Export #

• Go to Upload -> Settings page.
• Use the account, date, and trade filters to choose the trades you want to send to Notion.

Note: Only the currently filtered trades are included in the export, so check your filters before downloading the file. If you already imported older trades into Notion, filter the Upload page to only the new trades you want to add next. For example, use today's date range when you only want to add today's trades.

2. Export Data #

• Find the Data Export card.
• Click Export for Notion to download a Notion-ready CSV file.

Step 2: Import the CSV into Notion #

1. Import Your Trades into a Notion Database #

• Open the existing Notion database where you track trades.
• Click the "..." button in the top-right corner and select "Import".
• Click the “No, import here” button to import trades to the current database.

2. Map the CSV Columns to Your Database Properties #

• After uploading the CSV, click "Map CSV headers" button.
• Map CSV columns to Notion database properties:
• Once you have finished mapping the columns, click "Import CSV".

Step 3: Confirm the Imported Fields #

After the import, check that the important columns landed in the right places.

If Notion creates a new property instead of using an existing one, compare the column names. Notion matches imported CSV headers to database property names, so small naming differences can create duplicate properties.

Step 4: Finish Your Journal Review #

Once the trades are in Notion, fill the journal fields that require your own review:

• Model or Strategy.
• Session.
• Positive and negative tags.
• Rating.
• Whether you followed your rules.

This keeps the export fast while still leaving room for the parts of journaling that need your judgment.

Tips #

• Duplicate the FxJournalStats Notion trading journal template if you want a ready-made database structure.
• Import into an existing database instead of a blank page so Notion can match CSV headers to the correct property types.
• Filter the Upload page to only new trades before exporting, especially if your latest platform file overlaps with trades already in Notion.
• Use FxJournalStats Trade ID as a reference when you need to check whether a trade was already imported.
• Export a small date range first to test your Notion database mapping.
• Keep your Notion property names close to the CSV headers when possible.
• Use the standard CSV export only when you need raw FxJournalStats fields for spreadsheets, backups, or custom analysis.
