Importing from CSV or XLSX - E*Trade / Morgan Stanley (2026)

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE CORRECT IMPORT FILTER IN TRADELOG. GO TO ACCOUNT, THEN EDIT ACCOUNT, AND BE SURE "ETRADE/MORGAN STANLEY" IS SELECTED.

E*Trade / Morgan Stanley allows downloading of a CSV or XLSX file for account history. This data can be imported into TradeLog. To import the XLSX file, you MUST have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer. If your computer is a MAC and you are using a virtual machine, Excel must be installed on the virtual machine (not the MAC).

Important Note: If the downloaded XLSX file is edited in any way the import may fail.

General Procedure:

1. Log on to your Morgan Stanley / E*TRADE online account.
2. From the Accounts tab, select Activity, and then select your Specific account from the dropdown menu.
   
   
    
    
3. You must leave the Activity type set to All Transactions, and select the Date Range needed for your trade history from the Duration drop-down.
   
   
    
    
4. In the upper right corner, click the Download link to download the file in either CSV or Microsoft Excel format, and then click Download to confirm download.
   
   
5. We recommend saving the downloaded file to your Documents > tradelog > Import folder. This makes it easy to keep import history.

7. Go to the Account tab, and click the from File button.
