Grafioschtrader import

GT can read back its own exports. These include the CSV export of the transactions as well as the transaction receipts as PDF. A special import template group named «Grafioschtrader», shipped with GT, is used for this re-import.

Info

Unlike the template groups for a trading platform that you create yourself, the «Grafioschtrader» template group is unique and is already delivered ready-made with GT. It should neither be edited nor created a second time. A general description can be found under Import template group.

Prerequisite

For the re-import to be offered, the setting «Grafioschtrader import platform» on the Client must point to the delivered «Grafioschtrader» template group. Only then is the selection described below available.

Usage

When the setting on the client is present, the check box «Use Grafioschtrader import templates» appears at both places of the transaction import: on the one hand in the dialog for creating or editing an import group, on the other hand when dropping a PDF document via drag & drop. When the box is checked, GT uses the templates from the «Grafioschtrader» template group for this import instead of the templates of the securities account’s regular trading platform. This allows a GT export to be read into any securities account without changing its trading platform assignment.

One file per securities account

The CSV export creates one file per securities account. Import each file into the corresponding securities account. This way the transactions return to the same securities account they originate from.

Connect cash account transfers

An account transfer between two portfolios is split across two files on export. If these files are imported separately, two unconnected entries are created at first, a withdrawal and a deposit. The menu item «Connect cash account transfers» at tenant level in the Transactions report restores the connection afterwards. Only unambiguously matching pairs are connected based on time and amount.

Limitation

Opening and closing positions of margin trades are marked in the export and skipped on import. Such positions have to be entered manually.

Note

This route via export and import with the Grafioschtrader templates also serves testing purposes. It provides reproducible test data for checking the transaction import at any time, so that no real exports from banks have to be used.
