From Robinhood to your journal

Four steps — the longest one is Robinhood preparing the file.

  1. 01

    Request the report

    On robinhood.com, go to Account → Reports and statements → Reports, pick your date range, and generate the report.

  2. 02

    Download the CSV when it's ready

    Robinhood prepares the file on its side — usually quickly, sometimes longer for big histories. Download it once it appears.

  3. 03

    Drop the file into the Import Wizard

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

  4. 04

    Preview & commit

    See every trade before anything is saved. Duplicates are flagged and skipped, then trades post to the ledger — opens paired with closes.

// auto-detected

Plain text in, real positions out.

Robinhood describes an option as a sentence — "IWM 6/12/2026 Put $232.00". TickerScribe turns the sentence into a position, and reads the rest of the report as generated: accounting negatives, expiration rows, the footer disclaimer.

What comes acrossFrom one report

Options

Plain-text descriptions like "IWM 6/12/2026 Put $232.00" are parsed into underlying, strike, expiration, and call/put. Buys and sells pair into round-trips with accurate premiums.

Expirations, closed automatically

Robinhood's expiration rows become closing trades at zero premium — matched to the right open position, long or short. No phantom open positions after expiry Friday.

Cash activity

Bank, instant, and debit-card transfers land as deposits or withdrawals by direction; interest, Gold fees, and cash rewards are recorded as fees and income — not mistaken for deposits.

Accounting negatives, normalized

Dollar signs, thousands commas, and parenthesized amounts like ($848.27) import as what they mean — a negative 848.27, not a parsing error.

Safe re-imports

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

Worth knowing: Robinhood stock trades aren't auto-detected yet — they import through the universal CSV mapper. And crypto isn't in the report at all — that's Robinhood's own exclusion, stated in the file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TickerScribe really free?
Yes — completely free, no credit card, no trade caps. Import your Robinhood history, journal your options, and keep ledger-accurate P&L without paying anything.
Which Robinhood file does TickerScribe auto-detect?
The account activity report: on robinhood.com go to Account → Reports and statements → Reports, generate a report for your date range, and download the CSV. Generating can take a little while on Robinhood's side — you'll get the file when it's ready.
How do Robinhood options trades import?
Robinhood describes options in plain text — like "IWM 6/12/2026 Put $232.00" — and TickerScribe parses out the underlying, strike, expiration, and call/put automatically. Buys and sells pair into round-trips with accurate premiums, and expirations close at zero.
What happens to options that expire?
Robinhood logs expirations as their own rows, and TickerScribe turns each one into a closing trade at zero premium against the matching open position — including whether it closes a long or a short.
Do Robinhood stock trades import too?
Not automatically yet — the auto-detected path covers options and cash activity. Stock trades import through the universal CSV mapper: TickerScribe reads the headers and auto-suggests a match for every column, you confirm once, and the mapping is remembered.
What about deposits, fees, and Robinhood Gold? And crypto?
Bank transfers, instant deposits, and debit-card transfers land as deposits or withdrawals based on direction; interest, Gold subscription fees, and cash rewards land as the cash events they are. Crypto and spending-account activity aren't in this report at all — that's Robinhood's own exclusion, stated in the file.
