Trading 212's history export is thorough — trades, dividends, deposits and interest all in one file — with one catch: every amount is positive, and the direction lives in the Action column. Map that correctly and the rest is mechanical.
Step 1 — export from Trading 212
- On desktop: open History from the menu, then Export. (Mobile: menu → History → the export icon.)
- Pick the period — one export covers at most 12 months, so a three-year-old account needs three files.
- Tick every data type you want: Orders, Dividends, Transactions, Interest — some are unticked by default.
- Export; the CSV lands in your export list. This works for Invest and ISA accounts (CFD has no export).
Step 2 — what's in the file
The columns that matter for a portfolio import:
| T212 column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Action | The row type: Market buy, Limit sell, Dividend (Ordinary), Deposit, Withdrawal, Interest on cash… |
| Time | YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, in UTC |
| ISIN, Ticker, Name | The instrument, fully identified |
| No. of shares | Quantity — fractional shares supported, always positive |
| Price / share | In the instrument's own currency |
| Total | The cash that moved, in your account currency — positive for buys AND sells |
| Withholding tax | Tax already taken off a dividend |
| ID | A unique row id — handy if you ever de-duplicate overlapping exports |
Step 3 — map it onto the Pulse template
Download Pulse's import template and translate row by row:
| Pulse column | From Trading 212 |
|---|---|
date | The date part of Time |
deal_type | From Action: Market/Limit buy → BUY · Market/Limit sell → SELL · Dividend (…) → DIVIDEND · Deposit/Withdrawal → CASH · Interest on cash → DIVIDEND |
ticker_symbol | Ticker (leave empty on DIVIDEND and CASH rows — name the stock in the comment instead) |
amount | No. of shares (empty on cash rows) |
price | Total, with the sign fixed: make buys and withdrawals negative; sells, dividends and deposits stay positive |
transaction_fee | 0 — T212's Total is the cash that actually moved, fees (conversion fee, stamp duty) already inside it. Listing them again here would double-count them |
asset_type | STOCK or ETF for trades; CASH for dividends, deposits, withdrawals and interest |
comment | Name (so a dividend row still says which stock paid it) |
The sign fix is the whole trick: T212 reports magnitudes and lets Action carry the direction, while Pulse's price column is a signed cash flow — money leaving your account is negative. A Market buy with Total = 500.00 becomes price = -500.00; a Deposit of 1000.00 stays 1000.00.
Two example rows:
2026-03-03,BUY,VUAA,5,"-540.25",0,ETF,Vanguard S&P 500 (from Market buy · Total 540.25)
2026-03-28,DIVIDEND,,,"4.12",0,CASH,AAPL dividend (net of withholding)
Step 4 — upload
In Pulse: Transactions → Import, drop the CSV (all your yearly files at once is fine), and check the preview — deposits should classify as contributions, and the total invested figure shown should match what you've actually paid in.
