Importing your trade history

Bring an Excel file into MYTH: upload, map columns, match values, validate the preview, and import.

The importer lives behind the Import Trades from Exceldialog, opened from the Trades page. It adapts to your file: most imports are four steps, but if your spreadsheet uses values MYTH doesn't recognise yet, a fifth value-mapping step appears. Nothing is written to your account until the final import.

Before you start

  • Have an .xlsx file ready. The four fields MYTH must find are Date, MarketCode, Buy/Sell, and Result.
  • Everything else (time, setup, liquidity, RR, notes, images) is optional but maps the same way.

Walkthrough

1Upload & name the session

  • On the Trades page, open the import dialog. Drag your .xlsx into the drop zone or click to browse.
  • Give the import a Session name. Optionally set a Start date and End date.
  • The info banner reminds you of the required fields. Click Next once the file is loaded.
Step 1 — upload your file and name the session.

2Map your columns

  • Under Column Mapping, match each MYTH field to a column from your spreadsheet using the dropdowns. The four required fields are marked with an asterisk.
  • Map optional fields too if you have them — time, setup, liquidity, RR, notes, images.
  • The status badge flips to Ready once all required fields are mapped. Click Preview.
Step 2 — connect your spreadsheet columns to MYTH fields.
TIP
If a field stays greyed out, double-check the header row in your spreadsheet — the importer reads column names from the first row.

3Match values (only if prompted)

  • If your file uses market codes, setups, or liquidity labels MYTH hasn't seen, the Value Mapping step appears.
  • For each unmatched value, pick the matching platform item from the dropdown — or choose Add to Strategy Library to create it on the fly.
  • When the counter shows everything mapped, click Continue.
Step 3 — match your values, or add new ones to your library.
INFO
If MYTH already recognises every value, this step is skipped and you go straight to the preview.

4Validate the preview

  • Preview & Validateruns automatically. A green "Ready to import" means you're clear; red flags list the rows that need attention.
  • Scan the preview table to confirm the data landed in the right fields.
  • Fix any errors (usually back in column or value mapping), then click Import.
Step 4 — MYTH validates every row before importing.
HEADS UP
Validation must show zero errors before the Import button activates. This is deliberate — it stops bad data from polluting your stats.

After import

  • MYTH creates the session and drops you on it — your trades are now live across Dashboard and Analytics.
TIP
Next, learn to read what you just imported in Reading your Dashboard.
