Lightspeed trading journal
Export your Lightspeed trade history from Reports > Trade Blotter > Export as CSV, then drop it into TradeStack. The importer recognises the Lightspeed layout, builds a daily P&L calendar and calculates win rate, profit factor and expectancy for free.
Exporting your Lightspeed trade history
Lightspeed keeps its trade export under Reports > Trade Blotter > Export. Choose the widest date range you can and download the CSV file. You do not need to reorder columns, rename headers or delete rows first — TradeStack fingerprints the header row and maps the fields itself.
What the importer does with a Lightspeed file
One quirk worth knowing: per-share commission columns are netted into realized P&L. That matters because a journal that pairs fills incorrectly will report a win rate and average win that do not match your statement. After import you can open any trade, edit it, add a screenshot, tag a playbook and write the note that explains the decision.
Metrics you get from Lightspeed trades
- Daily P&L calendar with the dollar result printed on each day
- Win rate, average win, average loss and profit factor
- Expectancy per trade and a running equity curve
- Stats per instrument and per holding time
- Consistency %, which prop firms check before paying out
New to the terminology? Profit factor, Expectancy, R multiple, Drawdown.
Who this is for
Lightspeed is used mainly by high-volume equity day traders, trading stocks and options. If that is you, the fastest useful review loop is a weekly import: export the week, import it, and read P&L by session and by setup rather than by single trade.
Frequently asked
How do I export trades from Lightspeed?
Open Reports > Trade Blotter > Export and download the CSV file. Drop that file straight into TradeStack — the importer detects the Lightspeed column layout, so there is no template to fill in.
Is the Lightspeed journal free?
Yes. TradeStack is free, including unlimited CSV imports, the daily P&L calendar, playbooks and every analytics report.
Does it handle Lightspeed fees and commissions?
Yes. Where Lightspeed reports fees in a separate column, they are netted into realized P&L so your journal matches your statement.
Can I edit trades after importing?
Yes. Every imported trade stays editable, and the original columns from your export are preserved so nothing is lost.
