A trading journal that understands Fidelity

Fidelity's activity export is thorough and quietly hostile to naive parsers: days sorted one way, rows within a day sorted the other, no trade times, and splits that are never retroactively adjusted. FillJournal's Fidelity importer gets these right because getting them wrong fabricates trades that never happened.

How to import

Download your activity CSV

On fidelity.com: Activity & Orders → set the date range (Custom allows up to 365 days per download) → the download icon → "Download as CSV". For history beyond a year, download consecutive ranges; FillJournal deduplicates overlapping days on import.

Import into FillJournal

Import → Fidelity. The importer reads the Accounts_History format, keeps buy/sell executions, and ignores the 401(k) plumbing — contributions, exchanges, dividends, fees.

Preview and confirm

You'll see executions, round trips, and P&L before anything is committed. BrokerageLink accounts import under their own account label.

What usually goes wrong with Fidelity data — and how it's handled

The row order fabricates trades if you trust it

Fidelity lists days newest-first, but rows within a day oldest-first. Reverse the file naively and same-day round trips flip into sells-before-buys — overselling positions that were never short. FillJournal parses the ordering as it actually is.

No trade times

The export has dates but no time-of-day. FillJournal assigns stable synthetic times within each day so grouping works; hold-time stats for same-day round trips are approximate and labeled as such.

Splits are never retro-adjusted

A position bought before a reverse split pairs against post-split share counts — a 20:1 split makes it look like you sold 20× what you bought. FillJournal adjusts known splits and flags unmatched quantities instead of inventing P&L. Tickers that changed CUSIP mid-history (delisted symbols, reverse splits) sometimes export with an empty symbol column — those rows are surfaced, not silently dropped.

Questions

Does BrokerageLink work?

Yes — BrokerageLink is the tradeable account inside many workplace plans, and it's exactly what the importer targets. Workplace-plan fund exchanges are ignored as plan plumbing, not trades.

How far back can I import?

As far as Fidelity lets you download. Each CSV covers up to 365 days; import several files and overlapping days are deduplicated.

Do I need to link my Fidelity login?

No. You download the CSV yourself and upload it. No credentials, no account linking.
