Important notes
- Make sure you are exporting from the Executions tab, not the Orders or Positions tab — different tabs produce incompatible formats.
- Sim accounts and live accounts can be exported separately if needed.
- If you have multiple strategies or accounts in NT8, filter to the one you want before exporting.
- Partial fills are grouped into single trade records in the Composure journal.
