Tradeways recognizes this export from its layout and reads it with the rules on this page. A file without this layout is read as an unknown layout: Tradeways matches its columns, and these rules do not apply. See Import Trades.

The ATAS exchange ID is the duplicate key. An overlapping export is safe to upload again.

File Requirements

  • Use an .xlsx workbook. Older .xls files must be saved as .xlsx first.
  • Tradeways reads the Executions sheet. The Journal sheet has a different layout and is not read as an ATAS export.
  • The sheet needs these columns: Instrument, Time, Exchange ID, Direction, Price, and Volume. English and German headers are recognized.
  • Account, Route, and Commission are optional. Commission is imported as a per-contract rate when it is present.
  • A row without an exchange ID is reported as skipped. The exchange ID keeps repeated uploads duplicate-safe.

Supported Data

Futures contract symbols are preserved exactly and resolved to their root instrument. Venue suffixes after @ are removed, so ES 09-26@CME resolves to ES. Forex and crypto symbols are detected from the instrument name.

Limitations

  • Executions only. The export carries fills, not orders, so stop loss and take profit levels are not imported.
  • Timezone is required. ATAS timestamps carry no offset. A wrong timezone moves executions to another session or trading day.
