Data Portability

The data structures, formats and standards used by TradeLista, as required by Art. 25(2) of the EU Data Act for providers of data processing services.

This register exists so you can check, before or during a switch to another provider, exactly what format your data comes in. It is descriptive, not promotional — it states our actual current format rather than a target we're aiming for.

Data structures and formats

Trade records can be exported at any time from the Calendar view (⬇ Export CSV) as a CSV file, UTF-8 encoded (with a leading byte-order mark so spreadsheet software opens it correctly), one row per trade, comma-separated, fields containing a comma/quote/newline wrapped in double quotes:

Column	Contents
date	Trade date
symbol	Traded instrument
side	Buy or sell
lot	Position size
entry	Entry price
exit	Exit price
stop_loss	Stop loss the trade was opened with (empty if none)
take_profit	Take profit the trade was opened with (empty if none)
held_minutes	How long the position was held, in minutes (empty if not known)
profit	Trade result, including swap and commission
currency	Account currency
tags	Your tags, separated by `\|`

Journal notes, reflection answers and trade screenshots are part of your account data and can be requested via the Contact page or by exercising your rights under our Privacy Policy; they are not yet included in the CSV export itself.

Supported standards

TradeLista's export format is plain CSV (UTF-8) — a commonly used, machine-readable, non-proprietary format that any spreadsheet application or script can read without our involvement.

Standards such as ISO, ETSI, OASIS or GAIA-X, referenced in the EU Data Act's guidance for cloud infrastructure providers, concern portability of virtualized infrastructure and computing resources (e.g. moving virtual machines between IaaS providers). TradeLista is an application-layer SaaS product, not an infrastructure service, so none of these infrastructure-portability standards apply to it — stating otherwise would be inaccurate. Plain CSV/UTF-8 is the relevant, honest answer for this kind of service.

Open interoperability specifications

There is currently no separate public API or specification for exporting data for the purpose of switching providers — the CSV export described above is the mechanism, available to any logged-in customer on demand, at no charge, with no vendor lock-in.

Note: the API endpoint used to import trades from MetaTrader (documented on the Connect Account page) is a data import mechanism for the Expert Advisor, not a switching/export mechanism, and is unrelated to this register.
