FAQ

Common questions about Interactive Brokers imports, local storage, licensing, and how SimpleTradeLog works.

What brokers do you support?

Today: SimpleTradeLog supports Interactive Brokers stock trades imported from .tlg trade logs and activity statement .csv files. Other exports (like .ofx/.qfx) aren’t supported yet.

Where is my trading data stored?

Imported trades and deposits/withdrawals are stored on your computer. Account access, license status, billing, and anonymous product analytics use online services; analytics can be disabled in the app.

Which platforms are supported?

SimpleTradeLog is available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows x64.

Which languages are available?

The desktop app supports English, German, and French.

Does net P&L include fees?

Yes. Realized performance metrics are computed from the trades you import and include fees.

How long is the free trial?

14 days. You can evaluate the Interactive Brokers import and review workflow before subscribing.

What does it cost?

$89 per year or $9 per month, per machine. Both billing schedules include the same product.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can manage or cancel your subscription from the customer portal.

Can I export my data?

Yes. You can export a backup JSON containing trades, deposits/withdrawals, and journal notes, then import it later (for example when moving to a new computer).

Is this fully offline?

No. Your trades and cashflows stay local, but you still need an account and occasional online access for login, license validation, and billing.

Can I move to a new computer?

Yes. Licenses are intended for one computer at a time, but you can transfer the license using a one-time code.
