Schwab's transaction history tells you what you bought and sold. It does not tell you which setups work. Export it from schwab.com, upload it to EdgeDojo, and every buy and sell is paired into a trade with entry, exit, fees, and P&L, ready for notes and review.
Trades you place on thinkorswim are in the same account history, so one export covers both.
Tips for journaling Charles Schwab trades
- Export after every session, while the trades are fresh. Trades you already imported are skipped, so overlapping date ranges are fine.
- Upload the file exactly as it downloads. Opening and re-saving it in Excel can rewrite the dates.
- Review by hold time. Schwab traders often mix day trades and swing trades in one account, and they rarely perform the same.
