From fidelity.com to your journal

Four steps, about two minutes.

  1. 01

    Open Activity & Orders

    On fidelity.com, go to Accounts → Activity & Orders. This is the full record of everything that's moved through the account.

  2. 02

    Pick your date range, download

    Choose the period you want and click Download. Fidelity saves one Accounts History CSV — even if it spans more than one linked account.

  3. 03

    Drop the file into the Import Wizard

    Settings → Import Data, drag the file in. It's identified as Fidelity automatically — no column mapping, no file cleanup.

  4. 04

    Preview & commit

    See every trade before anything is saved. Other-account and core-cash rows are set aside with a count, duplicates are flagged, then trades post to the ledger — opens paired with closes.

// auto-detected

Three asset classes, one file.

Most tools auto-detect one corner of a Fidelity export. TickerScribe reads the whole thing: it decodes "-SPY260720P420" into a real option, pairs the equity buys and sells, records the cash — and quietly leaves out the other account and the core-cash sweeps that don't belong in a trading ledger.

TickerScribe Import Wizard recognizing a Fidelity Accounts History CSV — identified as Fidelity, with the Source, Scope, Map, and Preview steps shown

The moment it lands: recognized, every column mapped, ready to preview.

What comes acrossFrom one file

Options

Fidelity's cryptic option symbols like "-SPY260720P420" are decoded into underlying, strike, expiration, and call/put. Opening and closing trades are recognized and paired into round-trips with accurate premiums — and a contract that simply ends, leaving only an "EXPIRED", "ASSIGNED", or "EXERCISED" note in the description, is closed at zero with the reason kept.

Stocks

Buys and sells with their price and quantity — each side identified correctly, not guessed from a sign. Fractional shares come across as the fractions they are.

Dividends, transfers & fees

Dividends keep their ticker; electronic transfers, journals, and fees land as the deposits, withdrawals, and cash events they are — so portfolio value and deployed capital stay accurate.

Only your trading account

An Accounts History export often bundles a linked Cash Management account — debit-card spend, ATM withdrawals, inter-account sweeps. TickerScribe imports the trading account and sets the rest aside, with a count, so internal transfers aren't double-counted.

Core cash, left out

Money-market core moves — SPAXX, FDRXX and the like — look like buys but they're cash parking, not trades. They're skipped and counted, so your real buys and sells stay clean.

Safe re-imports

Every trade carries a content fingerprint. Re-running a file, or importing overlapping date ranges, flags duplicates on the preview step and skips them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TickerScribe really free?
Yes — completely free, no credit card, no trade caps. Import your full Fidelity history, journal your options and stocks, and keep ledger-accurate P&L without paying anything.
Which Fidelity file does TickerScribe auto-detect?
One: the Accounts History download. On fidelity.com go to Accounts → Activity & Orders, set your date range, and click Download — Fidelity saves a single CSV covering your activity. It's recognized the moment you drop it in, with zero column mapping.
Do my Fidelity options import automatically?
Yes — and this is the part most tools get wrong. Fidelity writes an option as a cryptic symbol like "-SPY260720P420". TickerScribe decodes the underlying, strike, expiration, and call/put, tells opening trades from closing ones, and pairs them into round-trips. Options, stocks, and cash all come across from the one file.
I have a linked Cash Management account — does that get mixed in?
No. A Fidelity Accounts History export often interleaves your brokerage account with a linked Cash Management account full of debit-card purchases, ATM withdrawals, and inter-account sweeps. TickerScribe imports only the trading account and sets the rest aside — you'll see exactly how many rows from other accounts were left out, so your grocery runs never land in your trading ledger.
What about core cash like SPAXX?
Fidelity's core money-market positions — SPAXX, FDRXX, and the like — can look like buys, but that's cash parking, not a trade. TickerScribe leaves them out and tells you how many it skipped, so your buys and sells stay real.
Are assignments, exercises, and expirations handled?
Yes. Fidelity never writes a closing trade for these — the contract just ends, and the only record is a line of text in the description column reading something like "EXPIRED CALL …" or "ASSIGNED as of … PUT". TickerScribe reads all three wordings and closes the contract at zero, which is the arithmetic you'd do yourself: a contract you sold keeps its full premium, one you bought realizes what it cost. The reason is kept too, not just the outcome — so an assigned put's shares arrive as a lot marked assigned, and the wheel view can put that premium into the break-even.
Can I import a long history in pieces?
Yes. Export in date-range chunks and import them one after another. Every trade carries a content fingerprint, so overlapping ranges are safe — duplicates are flagged on the preview step and skipped.
