Synchronized Broker Data - Entry Dates and Prices

When you initially synchronize your broker account, we gather as much information as possible to accurately track these positions in TradeSmith. However, some brokers do not provide us with some of this data. The reasons include:

  • The required information is not on the same page within your broker account.
  • The position was purchased more than 90 days ago.
  • Data is returned in a format that is challenging for our program to read.


Entry Dates and Entry Prices may not transfer on the initial import of your account, as we only receive the most recent transaction history from your broker. You may need to add this information manually.

  • To add entry dates and prices manually, select the positions in the far left and use the "Bulk Edit" option from the feature selection drop-down menu on the bottom left. This will allow you to quickly enter your entry dates and entry prices:




  • If we receive your purchase transaction correctly, newly purchased positions imported during our daily updates should successfully pull over the entry date and entry price.

Required Columns

Almost all columns are customizable at brokerages. If one or more columns are not on your Broker’s Holdings page, some fields may be missing when the data is returned. Please include the columns below at your brokerage.

  • Symbol
  • Quantity (Shares)
  • Value
  • Latest Price
  • Total Cost Basis (Total invested amount overall purchase lots) - The Total cost basis is divided by the number of shares to calculate your entry price per share
