Re-import my IBKR positions

[Gu1lle23]

Hello,

I just started using the program and try to import my positions from IBRK through the API; however, as the first time, I just click "save", before group all positions, and now I´m not able to import the positions because that screen doesn´t appear again.

Is there any way to do it?

Thank you!!

You are correct. The Import is kind of a one time shot unfortunately. If the database is empty and you connect to IBKR then you will get the import trades dialog. I should put a warning description label on the import dialog to let people know (and also update the documentation).

As a workaround the following "should" work:

• Do the partial import, click "save".
• Close the program.
• Go to the database location and rename the database.
• Start the program again and finish importing the trades that you did not before.
• Close the program.
• Go to the database location and open the current database file and the one that you renamed. Open them in a simple text editor like Notepad on Windows.
• Select All and Copy the lines from the renamed database file to the database file.
• Make sure to save the file.
• Open the program and now all of the trades should show.
