If you already held positions at your brokerage before deploying a system, you can bring them under that system's management.
Why you'd do this
By default, a system only manages trades it opened. Positions that existed beforehand are invisible to it — they won't be closed at your profit targets or stop losses, and they won't appear in your trade history or income figures.
Importing hands them over, so the system manages them like its own.
How to import
Open the system.
Click More options → import trades.
Wait while your current broker positions load.
Tick the positions you want to import.
Confirm.
You'll see how many were imported. They then appear in your open trades.
Before you import
Only import positions the system can actually handle. A system will manage imported positions according to its own rules — which may mean closing them sooner or later than you would have.
Think about your allocation too. Imported positions consume capital within it, which reduces what's available for new trades.
Selective importing
You don't have to import everything. Tick only what you want managed and leave the rest under your own control. Selecting nothing does nothing.
If the option isn't there
Not every system supports importing. If you don't see it in More options, that system doesn't offer it.
Common problems
"Unable to load broker positions" — we couldn't reach your brokerage. Check the connection on the Brokers page and try again.
"Unable to import trades" — a temporary issue. Retry after a moment.
"No trades were imported" — nothing was selected, or the selected positions weren't eligible.
An expected position isn't listed — it may not be a type this system can manage, or your brokerage may not be reporting it yet. Brokerage data can lag, particularly right after a trade.
Undoing an import
There's no unimport. If you want a position back under your own control, close it through the system or manage it directly at your brokerage.
