CSV
A plain spreadsheet-style file (comma-separated values) used to move data.
Definition
CSV stands for "comma-separated values". It is a simple text file where each row is a record and each column is separated by a comma. Almost every broker, platform, and spreadsheet can export a CSV, which makes it a universal way to move your trade history into the journal.
Example
You open your broker, click "Export to CSV", and get a file like trades.csv. You upload that file and the app maps its columns to symbol, side, entry, exit, and so on.
