KKLinePic

Interactive Brokers trade journal chart

Turn your IBKR activity statement into an entry and exit review chart.

Export the Trades section from an IBKR activity statement or flex query, upload the CSV, and KLinePic renders a K-line review image with buy/sell markers, holding window, return, and drawdown — signed quantities included.

Export trades from Interactive Brokers

Activity Statement

In Client Portal open Performance & Reports, then Statements, run an Activity Statement for the period, and export CSV.

Flex Query

Or build a Flex Query with the Trades section, including Symbol, Date/Time, Quantity, and T. Price, and run it as CSV.

Signed quantity

IBKR encodes direction in the quantity sign — positive for a buy, negative for a sell — instead of a side column. KLinePic reads that directly.

Privacy first

Remove the account ID and personal identifiers before uploading. Only the Trades columns are used to draw the chart.

What the IBKR trades export looks like

The Trades section of an IBKR statement is one row per execution, with a signed quantity:

Symbol,Date/Time,Quantity,T. Price,Proceeds,Comm/Fee,Realized P/L
NVDA,"2026-07-01, 09:35:00",20,120.50,-2410.00,-1.00,0
NVDA,"2026-07-02, 14:05:00",-20,131.00,2620.00,-1.00,209.00

KLinePic reads the positive open and negative close as one NVDA trade and draws the entry and exit on US stock candles. This page targets searches such as “Interactive Brokers trade journal chart”, “IBKR activity statement chart”, “IBKR flex query to chart”, and “IBKR CSV to candlestick chart”.

Workflow

  1. Run an Activity Statement or a Trades flex query in IBKR and export CSV.
  2. Open the US stock workflow and upload the CSV — signed quantities are detected automatically.
  3. Check the recognized symbol, direction, timezone, and execution times.
  4. Download the PNG once the markers and side-panel values match your IBKR trades.

FAQ

How do I export trades from Interactive Brokers?

In Client Portal open Performance & Reports, then Statements, and run an Activity Statement, or build a Flex Query with the Trades section. Export as CSV. The Trades rows carry Symbol, Date/Time, Quantity, and T. Price.

IBKR uses a negative quantity for sells instead of a side column. Is that supported?

Yes. When there is no explicit side column, KLinePic reads the sign of the quantity: a positive quantity is a buy and a negative quantity is a sell.

Which market data is used?

US stock symbols are matched to US equity K-line data so the entry and exit markers land on the correct candles.
